The account (compiled by Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap.) begins with Fr. Dominic’s appointment as civic chaplain to Tomas MacCurtain and later to Terence MacSwiney, Lord Mayors of Cork. The account includes copy correspondence regarding Fr. Dominic’s trial and copy extracts from newspapers ('Irish Independent', 'Evening Herald' and 'Catholic Herald') referring to the case and requests for the immediate release of the Capuchin priest. Reference is also made to the harsh treatment endured by Fr. Dominic during his captivity.
