The Sinn Feiners in County Kerry tried again on Tuesday

to murder Serjeant Sullivan -While he was going by train to Tralee to give evidence against- the'men who attacked him three weeks ago. The train was fired on, and a policeman was hurt. Fortunately Serj cant Sullivan escaped, and was able to reach the Court and to identify three 'of his assailants. That Sinn Fein should pursue a vendetta against a well-known Nationalist shows that it has become an anarchical conspiracy which has little to do -with politics. Until its gangs of murderers and

bandits are suppressed no political measures can bring any reafFimprovement in the state of Ireland.
