Iins' death came at a time when the disslration of irregulars was considered complete.
"Forgive them." These were the last words of Michael Collins as lie lay dying from an assassin's bullet. They were addressed to Major General   Dal.on.
The assassination occurred between Macroom and Bandon. Collins wns accompanied by the members of his staff and was visit iiiu various military positions in the BOUth of Ireland. A large number of irregulars were in the ambushed party.
An armed car accompanying the national iirmy officials inflicted heavy casualties upon the republicans. Just as the attack was beaten off, a bullet si ruck Collins' BkUll and he expired  In a few minutes.
The   assassination   of   Collins   was preceded in Dublin by a kind of battle or propagar la,  both  provisional government and irregular advocates posting placards settiiiK    forth    the respective  aim?  and   claims  of   :heir parties.     One  noster    qharged    the I provisional government with secretly  Bending an  emissary  to assassin-late De Valera.     A sinister fear that; ! Collins  was marked   for  death     has j recently pervaded the atmosphere of j the capital.    If he bad any premonition   of the fate that  awaited  him, he did not show It but walked calm-; ly forward, a  handsome heroic  fig-. uro, boyiB'u and confident.
