Capture of O Leary Foreshadows Arrests of Irish Radicals
Washington June 1 Jeremiah O Leary Irish American leader captured in a New York indictment is to be followed by arrests of other Irish agitators on treason or espionage charges in the United States. Government says it has undisclosed evidence linking O Leary to Sinn Fein and pro German circles and to agents promoting rebellion in Ireland. O Leary, 37, from Glen Falls N Y, has long opposed Wilson and aided anti entente elements. The case ties to a broader effort to curb disloyal activities as the nation’s war commitment continues.
