Mr. Ephraim O’Connor, a prominent Orangeman, endeavqured to pry into the doings of Communists and he was accepted as a probationer. Eventually the Communists became suspicious, and at a secret meeting accused him of trafficking secrets. They drafted an indictment and ordered him to sign it. O’Connor counterfeited a signature, but the Communists discovered the ruae and improvised a court martial. They ordered him to run the gauntlet of two rows of delegates, by which he was severely pummelled. He retaliated so furiously that the Communists called the police, who arrested O'Connor, but subsequently released him.
