London, ct. 2bin —Mr. MacSweeney Lord Mayor of Cork. died at Brixton prison in this city at 540 o’clock this morning. His death followed hunger- strike of more than 73 davs eclipsing any in the annals of rhe medical world. MacSweeney who had been unconsei ous, did not recover his facalties before he died. MacSweeney was uneonseions for 36 nours beiore nhis death came. 1t is stated Jonn MacSweenay and the Chaplain who had been waiting down- stairs in the Prison were told by Prison Officials at 4.35 c¢’clock that thev should go to the Mayor’s badside as they thought decath was approaching The brother asked for the priviledge of eon municating with other relatives who were not present but the officials he al- jedges, refused him the use of a tele- phone After the prisoner’s death his brother and the Chaplain say they were not- permitted to leave .Brixton Prison until 6.15 o’clock. Mrs. MacSweeney, accompanied oy her parents and the sis- ters of the Lord Mayor, arrived at Brixton prison at 9.30 o’clock. It is un- devstood- that arrangamen's are being made to take the body to Jrelan ! for burial. News of MacSweeney’s death had not become known in the dis- trict around Brixton prison unfil after nine o’clock. The uasual large contin- gent of police was on duty inside tbe prison grounds to prevent any de- moanstration but outside and along the road leading to the main higawa: thers were no unusual signs of aenivity. [he cause of MacSweeney’s death was heart-tailure, aeccording o a statement issued pt the Home Office Fhis stare- j ment is ¢ nsidered an indirect answe: | to'the criticisms of Dr. Jesiah Oldfield the Physician and Publicist, who bad declared it was wrong for the Lord May- or’s doctors to administer meat juice and brandy. He said brandy was a - poison and that a man at the point of - death was very susceptible to potson. Dr. Oldfield added that when a man fast- ed for a long time the firs: food he could endure was fruit juice. With re- gard to the theological aspeects of the Lord Mayor’s hunger-strike us to wheth- er it was suicide or not, th: Tope has . received so many urgent appe:ls to make © some pronouncement regarding this case from persons of opposite view points | that he has laid the problem before | the Congregation of the Holy O#ice which settles questions of faith and mor- -~ als judges hevesy No decision has . yes been announced. MacSweeney was 40 years of age. He was elected as a Sinn Fein Member from Corw to Parlia- ment in 1918 but never took his seat. He was elected Lord Mayor of Cork in 1920, For various political offences he had been in jail with brief intervals of liberty since January 1916 and in Qc- tober 1917 secured his release from jail -by hunger-strike. Cork, Oct. 25th.——Feverish interest in p-ssible developments caused by the death of Lord Mayor MacSweeney of this city whieh occurred in Brixton Pri- | son this morning, mingled with the grief '~ in which his death plunged many peo- { ple in South Ireland. Although these ] people appear stirred ‘to the highest de- i gree of bitterness, it is regarded as ex- tremely improbable that there will be any ouibreaks. or disorderly demonsira tions in this eity. It is expected. how ever, that there wii! be a eonsiderable i extension and intensification of gueriiia warfare against the police und military forces who, anticipating reprisals, ure . doubling their vigilance, especially in rc mote distriets. Cork jail, where a pan: ber of hunger-strikers are in orave con- . dition, ‘s guarded inside and outside by ! soldiers equipped with machine-guns. ' There is unexceptionally large garrison { here. It is equipped for anv eventu- % ality, has a number of taris and ar | moured cars and is ready for instant ser- | . viee, Military {oress are so strong that i it is considered improbable that any at- . tempt at force will be made here. [t is . “understood that the Irish Parliamont had | been making appeals to alielements of | the population to refrain from violenzo. | This is @nly believed to be t(ne poliey of i various influential leaders of the Sinn | Mein movement. Whether such eoun- | sels will be followed by tii2 younger ele- | ment or by membeaers of ihe Irish Re- { public Brotherhood, one of the inost { militant Irish secrel societics. remains | to be seen. - | St. Thomas, Oct. 25th-- Cabie ecommu- . nication with Antigua and St Kitts re- ' stored. ,
