The Slim Fein campaign of murder is still unchecked in

Southern Ireland. On Monday three policemen were shot dead and another dangerously hurt on the road near Timo- league, in County Cork, while a sergeant was murdered near Cookie Chose, Tipperary. On Tuesday two policemen were killed and a third wounded by revolver-shots fired at them as they were entering a tramcar in a crowded street in Cork. Not a man in the crowd attempted to stop the assassins, who must have been seen and recognized. We comment elsewhere on this appalling state of things.
