GENERAL O'DUFFY
REVOLVERS REMOVED
DETECTIVES RAID HOUSE
INDIGNATION VOICED
United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph— CopjrlgDt. (Received August 3, 2 p.m.) LONDON, August 2. General O'Duffy stated that two detectives entered his house last night and removed two revolvers, one of which the late Michael Collins held when he was murdered. This was given O'Duffy by Collins's sister-in-law as a souvenir of his first commandcr-m-chiof. General O'Duffy added that he had permits for both revolvers. It was tho most callous victimisation imposed by any Government on a public servant. His pension would probably bo denied him, and now his life was trifled with. The Irish people would deal with this victimisation at the proper time in the proper manner. It was ridiculous to say he was aiming at a dictatorship. The question whether the Blue Shirts were a military uniform should be tested in the Courts. •
