I.R.A. OUTBURST.
MR. DE VALERA VIOLENTLY ATTACKED. TROUBLE OVER SENTENCES. REFUSAL TO INTERVENE. LONDON, December 19. The “Evening News” Dublin correspondent says 'that the Republican Army is violently attacking Mr. de Valera owing to his refusal to intervens in the case of the sentence passed on two members of the I.R.A. for attempting to damage premises during the enforcement of the ant-British beer boycott. The accused refused to recognise the Court, whereupon Judge Davitt, son of the famous Michael Davitt, invoked the Cosgrave “Coercion Act” and ordered a month’s imprisonment for contempt of Court. The Republican Army organised a meeting of protest, and speakers declared they had no further use for de Valera, and urged the use of force to establish a Republican regime. Judge Davitt is heavily guarded.
