I.R. A. TERRORISTS TO IN PRISON
Removal To
Ireland
THE HOME OFFICE HAS REFUSED PERMISSION FOR THE REMOVAL TO IRELAND OF THE BODIES OF PETER BARNES AND JAMES RICHARDS, THE TWO LR.A. TERRORISTS WHO WERE HANGED FOR THE COVENTRY | MURDER EXPLOSION.
They were executed side by side on the scaffold of Winson Green Prison, Birmingham, and are buried in the guol cemetery. The Home Ofee decision was taken on the advice of Special Branch officers.
It was thought that transfer of the bodies to Ireland might lead to their being used as "martyrs," and to stir up feeling against Britain.
1
LORD MAYOR WHO STARVED TO DEATH
Scotland Yard has warned police forces in Britain to re- double their precautions against further bombing outrages.
The applications for the transfer of the bodies to Ireland were made on behalf of the hanged men's relatives.
The authorities acted on precedents established during the last war. Sir Roger Casement, who treated with the Germans and was hanged in Pentonville Gaol, still lies there in the murderers' cemetery.
Alderman Terence McSwiney, an M.P. and Lord Mayor of Cork, died after a-hunger-strike in Brixton Prison.
His body was taken back to Ireland after the formalities in connection with a coroner's inquest were completed be- cause he was not a convicted man.
WARNING READ
McSwiney was warned about the possible consequences of his hunger-strike.. Just before his death a statement from the Home Secretary was read to him:
"Terence McSwiney, I am directed by the Secretary of State solemnly to warn you that you will not be released, and that you alone will be responsible for any conquences that may ensue from your persistence in refusing to take food."
He died after 74 days' striking. Three I.R.A. men have been sent at the inquest on Aircraft-

Felt She Was in Heaven When
Her Eyes Opened
By LOUISE MORGAN
LOOKING OUT at a plane-tree near her sitting- room window at Notting Hill, Miss Constance Smedley, the authoress and playwright, described to me how it feels to be seeing the world again after six years of blindness.
"Until a few weeks ago I was stone blind," she said. "But now, thanks to a wonderful operation performed by an eye specialist, I can see the tiniest twig on that tree. "When I opened my eyes after the operation I felt I was in Heaven and that the two sisters bending over me to see if the operation was successful me re angels.
"It was such a miracle to have recovered my sight that I could not believe I was still on earth. I had given up all hope of ever seeing again,"
