Product Description
A detailed account of the circumstances surrounding teh murder in wartime Tipperary of Mary murphy, near new Inn in South Tipperary, and the subsuquent arrest, trial and execution in 1941 of her neighbour Harry Gleeson. The author, along with Gleeson's defence counsel, Sean MacBride, both believe Gleeson to be innocent.
“The last thing I want to say is that I will pray tomorrow that whoever did it will be discovered, and that the whole thing will be like an open book. I rely on you then to clear my name. I have no confession to make, only that I didn’t do it. That is all. I will pray for you and be with you if I can, whenever you, [Mr. Seán MacBride], Mr. Nolan-Whelan and Mr. Timoney are fighting for justice’.
