BELFAST SHOOTING.
MURDERS ON THE CARS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, May 18. Protestants and Roman Catholics alike were victims of rival murder gangs in Belfast. A man was shot in the abdomen while in the street. He died in a few hours. Two men boarded a tramcar and shot dead a youth sitting on the top deck of the car. The murderers escaped though there were sixty passengers pn the car. In the case of two flax dressers going to their employment several men took seats behind them. Shots rang out and the men ran down the steps of the car, carrying their smoking revolvers. The passengers, who thought the firing came from outside, were crouching on the floor. The conductor ran upstairs and found the two flax dressers huddled on the floor.
