TheBlackandTansevenproposed tomurdertheBishopofKillaloe.

"On23rd.November,1920,"says

Gen.Crozier,"IreturnedtoDublinvia Killaloe.AtKillaloeIinspecteda company,andheardthattheRoman CatholicBishopFogarty(ofLimerick) wastobe'donein,'andthathisbody wastobedumpedintheRiverShannon.Inordernottohaveanother 'Griffincase,'whichhorrifiedmevery much,IcausedtheBishoptobewarnned,andbelievehewentontherunto Armagh,whereheobtainedshelter withCardinalArchbishopLogue."

"OnNovember23,1920,Ireturned toDublin,viaKillaloe.AtKillaloe inspectedacompanyandheardthat theR.C.Bishop,Dr.Fogarty,wastobe 'donein,'andthathisbodywastobe dumpedintheRiverShannon.In ordernottohaveanotherGriffincase, whichhorrifiedmeverymuch,IcausedtheBishoptobewarned,andIbelievehewentontheruntoArmagh, whereheobtainedshelterwiththeCardinalArchbishopLogue."

Commentingonthisextract,Most Rev.Dr.FogartysaidtotheEnnisrepresentativeofthe'IrishIndependent:"Youhavemyauthorityforsayingtherearesomewhatseriousinaccuraciesinthat.Itisquitepossible thatGeneralCrozierwasgoodenough todirectsomeonetowarnmeofthe intentionsoftheBlack-and-Tantowardsme,but,ifso,Ididnotreceive thewarning,andmyescapefrombeing 'donein'anddumpedintheShannon wasduetoentirelydifferentreasons.

Dr.Fogartyhadonlyjustreturned toEnnisfromalongandfatiguing journey,and(141notfeelphysicallyfit foranother. ConsequentlyhesentaprepaidtelegramtobedeliveredtoArchbishop Cloneonthelatter'sarrivalatthe GreshamHotelinthefollowingwords: "Impossibletogetup:canyoucome down?"

Dr.Fogartyawaitedareplytothat messagealldayonDecember3,andits

OnarrivalinDublin,theBishop stayedatAllHallowsCollege,wherehe metArchbishopClune.Afteraninterview,heandtheArchbishopsucceeded,throughthegoodofficesofMr. Cope,oneoftheUnder-Secretariesat DublinCastle,ingettingadmissionto MountjoyPrison,wheretheysawArthurGriffith,JohnMacNeill,andsome otherprominentprisoners,including, hisLordshipthought,Mr.Staines.

PIUSX.-HISLASTWORDS.

Aproposoftheattackslaunched againstthememoryoftheholyPontiffPiusX.regardingtherolehe playedatthebeginningoftheWorld War,the"Messagero"hasrepliedrecentlybyrecallingtheincessantefforts whichthataugustPopemadetopreventtheconflictwhiletherewasyet timetodoso. PiusX.hadlongbeforeforeseenthe war.Inthefirstmonthsof1914he saidtoaSouthAmericandiplomat: "Happyareyou.Youwillnotparticipateinthewarwhichisgoingto breakoutinashorttime";andhe added:"Iwilldoalltopreventit.I knowthatIwon'tsucceed,butIcannotresistthisduty."

CardinalMerrydelVal,Secretaryof State,reportedatthetimetotheBishopofLavalthatPiusX.oftenrepeated:"YourEminence,theGreat Warapproaches.Weshallnotpass theyear1914withouthavingit," ThencamethetragedyofSarajevo andthemenacesoftheEuropeanconflagration.TheSovereignPontiffwrote alongpersonallettertotheagedEmperorFrancisJosephconjuringhim withtheargumentsofa.fatherand theseverityofajudge,"nottosoil withthebloodofallEuropehislast days."Thisletterwastransmittedto theEmperorbytheNuncio,Mgr.Scapinelli,laterbecomeCardinal.Butit remainedwithoutanswer.Ithadbeen thesamewithatelegramdispatched previously,andwhichwaswrittentextuallybyCardinalMerrydelVal,under thedictationofthePope.

PiusX.thenhadcalledtohimthe AustrianAmbassador.Hetoldhim thathehopedstillthathisGovernmentwouldnotunchainaworldwar, andthattheEmperor,whowasdrawingnearhisend,wouldnotwishtosoil thelastdaysofhislifewithafloodof blood.TheAmbassadorrepliedin vaguephrasesandwithanembarassed air,andgavetheHolyFathertounderstandthatthesituationwasexceedinglygrave. PiusX.wasnoteventhendiscouraged.HebadetheNuncioatVienna tomakeanewdemarchewithFrancis Joseph.Theprelateremainedforan entiredayintheImperialante-chambertalkingtoaides-de-campandofficerswhoenteredandlefttheCabinet oftheEmperor,buthewasnotreceived.ThetelegramsthatMgr. ScapinellisenttotheVaticansubsequentlywereintercepted.Butone reachedPiusX.,informinghimofthe imminentdeclarationofwar,butdelayed,becauseitswording-"Janus patet"-"Janusisopen,"signifyingthe beginningofwar-wasnotunderstood bytheAustriantelegraphoffice,who hadnosuspicionofitssignificance.

Hostilitieshadalreadyopened,and PiusX.receivedtheAmbassadorof Austria,whoaskedhisbenedictionfor theAustrianarmies.TheHolyFather replied:"TelltheEmperorthatIcan neitherblessthewarnorhimwhohas willedit.Iblesspeace."Andas thediplomatinsistedsolicitingabenedictionatleastforFrancisJoseph,Pius X.repliedinaseveretone:"Icanonly praytoGodthatHemaypardon him."

Fromthismomentbegantheagony ofPiusX."M;poorsons!Mypoor children,"hecrieddolorously,whilst thetelegramsfollowedeachotheron histable,bringinghimnewsofthe generalmobilisation.Andheadded: "Isufferforallthosewhodieonthe fieldsofbattle."
