KIDNAPPED PRESSMAN.
BEFORE REPUBLICAN "COURT" Times. LONDON, Jan. 8. Mr. Kay, the correspondent of the Times in Dublin, who wa» kidnapped by the Sinn Feiners, states that his captors motored him in the night time at a dangerous speed to Cork. He afterwards chatted affably with his chief captor over the fire, and strolled the Mowing morning with him over the hills. It was evident that the motive was to ascertain who had given him the views embodied in an obnoxious article. They consented to bring certain specified witnesses in order to test his statements. When the "court" was held one of these witnesses denied consenting to a press interview, and the other declared he was unable to recall any of the statements. After deliberating the "court" accepted a written declaration concerning members of the Irish republican army not being interviewed, and Mr. Kay was then released.
