IRISH REPUBLICANS
LEADER IMPRISONED . DUBLIN, June 19. A special criminal court composed of Army officers sentenced Stephen Hayes, of Wexford, to five years’ servitude on a charge that he unlawfully exercised the function of the Government from 1939 to 1941 by maintaining and being the chief of staff of the Irish Republican Army. Members of an illegal organisation last September court-martialled Hayes, beat him, and threatened him with death. He escaped and appeared in a Dublin street bound in chains and carrying a revolver. John Dunlop at the subsequent trial at which Hayes was a witness, was sentenced to death for assaulting and detaining Hayes, but this sentence' was commuted.
