WS 1413 "On emerging out of the gate I walked right into an Auxiliary who held me up and searched. me for a gun and then I produced a Military permit in an assumed name which I got from a friendly officer from Ballymullen Barracks, Tralee. Just as the Auxiliary was examining. the permit who came along but Jimmy Murphy, a Captain in the Auxiliaries, son of Mr. James Molyneaux Murphy, Solicitor, Tralee. He looked at the permit and saw the name and shook hands with me and called me by the name in the permit. I knew then that I was safe though when I saw him coming my knees began to wobble with fright. His father committed some offence for which his name was to be struck off the Register of Solicitors To save their father both of his sons Jimmy and Harry joined the British Army during the war and Jimmy joined the Auxiliaries. Before he joined the Auxiliaries his appointment was captured by us in the post and he was tarred and feathered by the local I.R.A. He told the other Auxiliary that I was a friend of his, he took me under his wing and asked me whether I could get him in touch with Dan Browne, Solicitor, of Tralee (now Land Commission Judge) who was then a much-wanted man and was working in the Office of Home Affairs (Austin Stack, Minister) on the Quays over Cahills, the optician. On turning about I was horrified to see Mick Collins just standing outside the gate where I came out. He was with a big D.M.P. policeman apparently in conversation with him and as Mick was tall anyone would assume he was a G-man or detective from Dublin Castle. I promised Jimmy Murphy I would ask Dan Brown if he would meet him and he gave me a 'phone number at Mountjoy Gaol where he was in charge of an Auxiliary detachment. He shouted instructions to the next Auxiliary further down to pass me along and just as I stepped out Mick joined me and we were passed along from one Auxiliary to another down to the Parnell Monument."
