SOLDIERS' RETALIATION FOR
IRISH JURY'S VERDICT., SHOPS WRECKED AT FERMOY.
DUBLIN, September 9th.
hi
The proceedings at the inquest on 'Pri- vate Jones, of the Shropshire Light In- fantry, who was shot by armed men at Fermoy, prove clearly that the physical force movement associated with Sinn Fein Fein has se demoralised the average Irish- juror that he does not regard the shoot- ing of men in cold blood as murder. The jury in their verdiet found that death was due to a ballet wound inflicted by some persons unknown. They expressed their horror at and condemnation of the terrible and appalling outrage in the midst of a peaceable military and civil whom the most
Friendly between
feelings badi always existed, and they expressed sympathy with the rela- tives of the deceased man. On the an notincement of this finding District Ins- pector Lewisg of the Royal Irish Consts- bulary, asked,

To this the

Thereupon the foreman of the Mr. Barber) made the following declaration: "We came unanimously to the conclusion that these men came for the purpose of getting rifles, and had ne idea of murder-that is was inpreme ditated."

Incensed by the Ending of the jury, number of troops in Fermoy district en the night of September Sth, paraded the town, attacking shops. They wrecked wane fifty shop fronts and behind them came a number of civilians, who looted the wrecked premises. This process wa in operation for an hour or more before the military pickets were able to recall the mep to barracks and restore order in the town: The

One of the shops which suffered severe ly was that of Mr. Barber, the foreman of the jury Virtually all the shops in Queen's square, the principal thorough- fare of the town, were wrecked. Tho police have recovered some of the looted articles About midnight the streets of Fermoy became quiet.

COLONEL AND LOCAL COUNCIL
Last night there was no sleep or rest in Fermoy, the calm stillness of the night being broken be the sound of hammers. Every available carpenter in the town and district was requisitioned, and to day the whole of the affected area is roughly barricaded for protection. Busi ness is suspended in most of the shops in the streets visited by the raiders. It is stated that a quantity of loot has been thrown into the Blackwater, and fisher- men are hard at work dredging the river.

The chairman asked whether that was the reason windows were broken.
Colonel Dobbs said they seemed to think that soldiers should sit down and make no reprisals, Colonel Dobbs further stated that Fermoy lived on the military. and if they had not the troops there they would only have to live by taking in each other's washing. (Ob, ob!)
