IRISHMAN’S BOAST.
Could Blow Up the Rock of Gibraltar. DUBLIN, February 6. “ I could blow up the Rock of Gibrsltar, the Dardanelles, or the Hill of Howth. if given my own time,” said Henry Boyle, a former member of the Dail Eireann, when charged with the possession of detonators and gelignite. “In 1919 and 1920 I handled more explosives for the Irish Republican Army and the Republican Brotherhood than any man in Ireland. I know everything about explosives. Blowing up a s?fe is child's play to me.” However, Boyle contended that the explosives concerned in the charge were for lawful quarrying.
He was found not guilty, and was discharged.
