GUARDIANS AND THE MURDERS

GUARDIANS AND THE MURDERS.
---
At the Tipperary Guardians' meeting to-day Mr. William Purcell,
presiding, said they all abhorred the murder and outrage, but it was a sinister
coincidence that the shootings occurred during the critical days of the opening
of the Peace Conference, when the Irish people might wrongfully be taunted
with conniving at assassination and murder. They had heard of the German
plot, which he would term the Dublin Castle Plot, and also of Sergt.
Sheridan's Castle Plot, and also of Sergt. Sheridan. It was not the perpetrators,
but the innocent public who suffered loss and inconvenience under martial
law.
There was a dramatic spectacle yesterday afternoon when an
aeroplane, flying low, acoompanied by a military motor transport lorry in the
direction of Soloheadbeg hill, remaining some time hovering over the scene of
the tragedy.
It is reported that two arrests were made last nigh[n]t, but the police maintain
rigid silence regarding later developments.
