A civilian, unable to escape jthe hail of fire, was wounded. Lord Carson, Ulster’s champion, has a town house within a few rods of the scene of the murder. It is con- stantly guarded by special policemen. An eye-witness to the tragedy told the United Press the following story of the shooting: “I was in the neighborhood of Eaton square and heard shots ring out.

He incurred the enmity of Southern Irish extremists after the withdrawal of Sir Gen. Neville MacReady, who was not un- popular, despite his position. Wilson, however, was bitterly 4 hated by republicar ¥ Sir Henry was years old. He entered the service in 1884 and won many decorations in his rise to field marshal. He was created a baronet in 1919, ¥ was alighting from an automobile in front of his home in Eaton square. The assassins were on the side- walk waiting for him. They seized him and shot him dead. “The murderers then walked into the center of the street and began to make their get-away. They waved revolvers and a policeman who attempted to halt them was shot thru the stomach. “The ass ins proceeded about four or five blocks, shoot- ing at intervals. They wounded a civilian in their flight. “An unarmed policeman ahead of the murderers awaited their approach at a street corner, As they came to the corner he leaped out and struck one of them on the head with his night stick, felling the man.
