Excerpt from Recollections, Vol. 2 of 2Dublin agent was on his way to collect some rents. Nothing wrong on the property so far as we can learn. As he drove along, four successive shots were fired at him by men posted on the left-hand side Of the road, and when he had run this agreeable gauntlet, two more by men on the right hand. He was wounded, and SO was the horse. One house was close by. Several others not much farther Off. The assassins must have been six or eight in number. They must have been for some time in ambush, in full view Of these houses. The hour was about noon. They must have scampered Off over the fields in full view. Yet nobody would admit that they had seen anything or heard anything. As the Operations were being explained to me, three wenches in their Sunday frocks came out Of the house, and giggled in our faces, as if to say, What fools you are You'll never find it out. We have two prisoners for the affair, but the evidence is weak.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
