Violence continues on from yesterday's bombings in Belfast.

MANY TRAGEDIES IN BELFAST

THREE PERSONS SHOT DEAD

Two Women Wounded

BOMB HURLED AT WORKMEN'S TRAM

Crime was rampant in Belfast yesterday, and the circumstances of the several tragedies and outrages enacted have occasioned a thrill of horror and a feeling of dismay in the City.

About 8 o'clock in the morning a man and his wife were shot dead at their own door and at 11 o'clock at night a woman who opened her door in response to a knock was also shot dead.

A third woman, who too, answered a knock, was seriously wounded in the breast, and a next door neighbour, also a woman, was shot in the arm and breast by bullets which came through the window or door of her home.

A savage attack by bomb and bullet was made at 7.50 a.m. on a tramcar containing 86 workers, including some women, at Ardoyne Junction, but the presence of mind of the driver saved he lives and limbs of the passengers.
