The Great Escape with knobs on....
Nationalist, Feb. 1921.
Probably the greatest sensation of the
present crisis in Ireland was the escape of Frank Teeling and two
others from Kilmainham Prison on Monday night last. According to
Dublin Press reports a lorry-load of men uniformed in khaki, wearing
steel helmets and carrying the usual arms drove up to the prison
gate, and the officer in charge presented a warrant purporting to
come from Dublin Castle ordering the prison authorities to hand over
Teeling and two others, Donnelly and Stewart, for removal "to
another place".
Teeling was under sentence of death for his
alleged complicity in the Mount Street shootings.
The three men were removed and have not
since been heard of.
Military headquarters on Wednesday night,
however, while admitting the escape , emphatically deny that any
hoax was perpetrated. Thereafter the sensational incident is a
mystery.
