Dublin, Ireland - Countess Markievicz Seeks to Convert
From the The Wichita Beacon of May 18, 1916:
The Countess Markievicz, Joan of Arc of the Irish revolution, who kissed the revolver with which she killed a redcoat, and who [having escaped a death sentence] is now a life prisoner in Mountjoy, has indicated a desire to be baptized into the Catholic Church. The archbishop of her own church, the English establishment, offended her by appealing to the government for greater severity towards the rebels.
