Five Men Taken From Homes in Ireland and Shot
Five men were abducted from their homes in the Sewry district, about forty four miles south of Newry, and shot. Their bodies were left in a roadside heap. Two of the dead were brothers, sons of a former Police Sergeant Nex. The incident is the most serious in Newry since the current disorders began. Two constables were shot after revolvers were snatched from their holsters on a street. A Belfast to Londonderry train was derailed near Pomeroy, Tyrone, with rails removed. The victims in Newry are said to be Sinn Fein sympathizers.
