When it was opened they rushed in and dragged the Jandlard, Mr. Smith, and Captain Maclean, who were in bed with their wives, out of bed and prepared to despatch them forthwith, but on Captain Maclean imploring them not to murder him before his wife's eyes, forced the two men and Mrs. Maclean's brother-in-law fate another room and shot them in cold blood.
Another victim was Captain Baggaley who lost a leg in the war, It is stated that the murderers were strangers in Dublin and were put in the hands of guides, some of whom were girls, who knew the private houses in which the officers lived.
