THIRD EDITION. 1 , THE FEIAN TRIALS AT . THE OLD BA N ILEY.-(THIS DAY.) The trial of Michael Barrett, alias Jackson, Timothy Desmond, Wm. Desmond, Nicholas English, John O'Keefe, and Anne Justice was resumed at 10 o'clock this morning at the Old Bailey, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Baron EtramsvelL The prosecution was conducted by the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Gifford, Q.C., Mr. Poland, and Mr. Archibald. The counsel for the prisoners were Mr. Warner Sleigh f ee William Desmond, Mr. Straight for Timothy Des mond. Mr. Keogh for English, Mr. Montagu Williams and L. Edward Clarke for O'Keefe and Justice, and Mr. Baker Greene for Barrett. The approver Iffullany, was examined by Mr. Warner Sleigh. He deposed—l did not receive or entert►in the "centres" who came up from the country. I entertained some of the " unties," but not those who came from the country. " Captain " Murphy often took his meals with me, and Barrett dined at my house once or twice. I onus pawned my watch sad chain, but not for the purpose of entertaining the " °entree." There were two meetings at my house. Vaughan was not in the habit of coming to my house. I never spoke to bins until I saw him at Bow street. I attended a meeting in Little Queen.stieet, Hol born, in the beginning of December. Wm. Desmond was at the meeting. I attended a meeting at the American Stores, at which William Desmond was also present. I am not aware whether in giving my evidence at Bow-street I omitted to mention the fact. I attended " Father O'Connor's" meeting, of which I have not given evidence before. I did not know Vaughan at the time, and I can not recoil ct that he was there. I was very active at the meeting. I don't recollect having seen W.Deusond there. I went with the pl►te to the front seats andgot money. I never beard of Vaughan as • Fenian until saw him at Bow street. On the 11th December there was • meeting at Win. Desmond's house. Before I went in • man named Ryan had been accidentally shot with a revolver. He was taken out by Win. Desmond to get air. I heard, either at the American Stores or at Castle-market, that there was to be a meeting at Wm. Desmond's. While Desmond and Ryan were out there were several men up stairs. The copperas of which I spoke yesterday was not used twelve months ago. Murphy had the letter on which the invisible ink was made to appear. I did not hear it read aloud. cross-examined by Mr. Keogh—l lived in Dublin before I came to London and worked as • tailor. When I wu introduce' by English I was sworn in as a " centre." Several of the American ooscers were introduced to me. I made 41. or 51. • week since I came to London. I parsed my watch during the tailors' strike, when I was ill and short of money. lam quite satisfied the letter I referred to yesterday came from Burke. Murphy did not know what plan to resort to until he got the letter. I can read print. I did not read any of the rewards that were offered. On the day before the explosion I was at the hones of Mr. Davis, • tailor. About • quarter to 4 o'clock I saw English and William Desmond, who asked me to go with them to see the explaion. The Lord Chief Justice—Are you sure the word " explosion" was used? Witness—l don't know, my lord. They asked me to go to Clerkenwell. . . The Lord Chief Jcistioe—l must caution you not to use words of your own in that way. Cross-examination resumed I am not aware that Vaughan has sworn he knows me. lam certain I did not know him. I never bought any arms for the Fenian. The people with whom I mixed believed me to be a Fenian during the past five or six years. I did not join the Fenian to become an apostate, and to make money. If I had done so I might have made more out of it. I volunteered information because I knew English was " splitting." I did not want to ruin my young family. My family did not cost me a thought when I joined the Fenian,. To the Lord Chief Justice—English told me at the waiting-room at Bow-street that he would see the men to the devil before be would undergo imprisonment on their account. _ _ _ Keogh—Then it was a dead race between you. (A laugh.) Witness—l did not give evidence for some days after English need the words I have mectioned. I never thought of a reword. I gave information solely for the sake of my family. English had time to inform before I became an informer. I tally believed English intended to inform. I expect no reward, and I don't know what the crown intend to do with me. By Mr. Baker Greene—l don't think I was told by any of the warden in the House of Detention that some of the prisoners were about to turn informers. When I was sworn in there were about eight or ten persona present. We repeated the oath after James Kelly, the "centre." I know that Vaughan swore that the only persons present while the Fenian oath was administered were the man who ti,A it and he who gave it. A centre's oath an be adminis tend in the presence of several persons. The person to whom it is administered is supposed to have been already sworn a member of the brotherhood. Although I was not a member at the time, I took the centre's oath. I don't remember the date when Captain Murphy produced the letter on which the copperas was used. It may bare been three or four days after I bad been introduced to Barrett, and a week or eight days before the explosion. Barrett and English beard the letter read. I did not refer to the letter at the police office, as I merely answered the questions put to me. I gave my information prior to the examination at Bow-street. I think I then told the crown solicitor the information respecting the letter. I subscribed half a soveriegn to buy powder to blow up the prison. About 18 pemonn were concerned in the matter, and it was arranged at Desmond's house on Thursday that they were to go in twos and threes to assist at the House of Deten tion. On the Wednesday or Thursday Barrett and another man came to my house. I saw Barrett at Kavanagh's public-house on the Thursday, and we walked towards my house together. I asked hint what had become of the barrel of powder, and be replied that the captain failed in endea vouring to light the fuse, and that be would light it on the following day and blow the prison to !NIL On the morning of the explosion I saw Murphy, bat I have never seen him since. I saw Barrett on Friday night at the Welsh Stores, at the corner of Warwick-street. When I WWI at the dock at Bow-street an apprentice of mine named Wary Morris stated that Barrett came to my house on the evening of the explosion with a man whose ear was bleed ing. Morris said I remarked that the man bad been fight ing. It is not true that Barrett accompanied the man. My apprentice said Barrett had his whiskers at the time. When I saw Barrett he had shaven his whiskers. Up to that time he wore a Mee coat, but on that occasion be wore the coat he has on at present. I don't know where the other men who were cone...rued in the buying of the powder are now. 1:.• —tamined by the Attorney-General—Murphy gave for entertainment. "Father O'Connor's " meeting was held before Burke's arrest, and it had no con nexion with Fenianism. James Vaughan was then examined by the Solicitor- GeneraL He said—l am a tailor by trade. I have known the priKmer Timothy Desmond since 1865. I have known • Deamond shout eighteen months, and the prisoner P . -4'l4h about four or five years. I have known ( 1. 84,-fe about eighteen mouths. I know Mod- Incr. and have spoken to him on different nneacons principally at Kavanagh's public-house. I was sworn in as • Fenian in 1865 by Timothy Desmond. I saw him on the day of the explosion between Lad-' put 1 and half-past 2. I was at work at the titer at Pugh's-place, near Golden-square. He came y room and " hollered " out " Ahoy ', I na: I. " Hollo, Tim, have you been muddling it ?" He • " I have just seen my son off to us this morn ing." I could see he had been drinking, but I should not "5 he war drank. He asked my wife if she had iwau Lis wife. She told him she had not, and . - at " You don't mean to say, Ned, your is•f•-• husked it from you ?" He replied," Yes," and added, By the God that made me she shall never lie beside me en , : He kneed my wife and bade her good bye, and sail hs w " going to take a jump. My wife told him not In be so foolish. He then leant over the door and whistled - ----- t° end said in a whisper " The thing most be donw" las.cl Wm what be meant, and he answered. "They're Plat to Wow up the Home of Detention." I asked him "ea, and he said, " The thing most be doom. We have THE found out from Ann Jostles by going in VIA 9ary's die- • nor, the time at which they inetisPU tie yard.; -. and the trick mast be dose between half-past 3 cad 4 o'clock." Na thee bide see good bye, sod said, "Jemmy, when I am blasted into eternity, pray for me ; or if I get a and am unarrested, the next plasm will be Milbank." He then kissed end shook hands with me, and went away. I didn't lee him again until he was a prisoner. I saw English about 7 o'clock on the soaking of the explosion. He came to the door leading to my room and said, " For God's sake, Jemmy, give me ea mach as you can, for we want to mad them oft." I asked him to 'whom he referred. and he answered, " What! haven't yea hoard 1" I said "No," and he then said, "The House of Detention is blown bang up." I then gave him 25., and told him I could span no more, as business was slack. He said, " For God's sake give me es much as you can, I want it badly." The next morning I saw him reading the placard of a news paper and saying aloud the word " diabolical." I " Hakes, Ned," and thou he added, " We will burn the whole of London yet, and that will be a right more diabolical." I then wished him good bye. I was at Bow-street at half-past 12 that day. When I got to the corner of Bow.street and Russell-street I saw O'Keefe, who asked me if I had seen " Nick," meaning English. I told him I had, and the; I bad left him in Garnaby-street. He mid, " it ; I had an appointment with him." We ' commenced to talk about the explosion, and two other persons joined in the conversation. I said it was a cruel thing that there was such a great sacrifice of life. O'Keefe remarked, " A thing like that could not be done without a great sacrifice." We then crossed the road, and entered • public.house near Drury-lane Theatre. While we were there, Wm. Deemed came in and said, " Hallos, Jemmy, what do you think of that fool!" I said, " Who!" and he answered, "Ted's wife. She has been saying that they have called him • coward." He then said, " Did you ever hear me call him • coward,Jemmy?" and I replied " No." Nicholas English then came in and took William Desmond by the arm, sod said, " Yon don't want me here now." William Deamoad again asked me if I had heard him call Timothy a coward. I said " No," and added " Thhi is a bad job." William Desmond then said "It served him no business there. We sent him back to take an hour's sleep." English also said, "It served him well right. If he was anything of a man he would not have let his wife know as much as be knew himself." I understood from these remarks that Timothy Desmond was too drunk for " the business." I went to Bow-street for the purpose of seeing the pri soners brought up. The prisoners were not brought up on that day. Oa the Sunday evening I saw William Desmond, Nicholas English, Mullany, and other men at Kavanagh's public-house, in Poland-street. I told Win. Desmond that seven detectives were watching his house. He asked, " What am I to do Jemmy? I have no money." This conversation took place outside the house. I have seen Barrett on two occasions. I saw him in the first week of December with English, in Regent-street, and before that I saw him with English, at Kavanagh's. He then wore Dandreary whiskers, and a slight moustache. Cross-examined by Mr. Straight.—l was in the army. I refuse to say whether or not I deserted. I left the army is 1861, and took to tailoring. I am married. I have never been in a mad-house. I remember Dr. French telling me not to drink. I am not aware that I drank myself into delirium trainees, or that I have been under restraint. I have been • "lodger" in St. James's Workhouse twice. I have no recollection that I was kept under restraint there. Dr. French told me not to drink, but another doctor told me I should drink. (Laughter.) When Timothy Desmond whispered to me at my house and said, " The thing must be done," I did not understand him to mean that he intended to commit suicide. by Mr. Keogh—When I enlisted in the 58th Regiment, I took an oath, the purport of which was that I was to serve her Majesty. I suppose I have broken that oath. Cross-examined by Mr. Baker Greene—l have never ■worn in a Fenian. I knew that the wall of the House of Detention was to be blown up, but I knew of no intention to blow up the entire building. In my first examination ►t Bow-street I made no allusion to Barrett. Subse quently I heard of Barrett's arrest. I was taken to Mill bank to look into the cells in which the prisoners were confined. I recognised Barrett, having seen him twice with English. I have seen him at any Fenian meet ings, nor was I aware that he belonged to the brotherhood. Croes-examined by Mr. Williams—l was tried by court martial and reduced to the ranks from being a corporal. Since I gave information I have been receiving payment from the police. I saw a placard offering a reward before I gave information. I did not read it. Three boors after I saw the placard I gave information to Sergeant Cole I have known Sergeant Cole fifteen years, but I have gone ►bout with him. I expect to get a portion of the reward if the prisoners are convicted. Re-examined by the Attorney-Genera—l was tried by court-martial for absence without leave from my regi ment. The court here adjourned for a short time. Upon its re-assembling John MoHewitt, clerk to Haney and Lewis, gunpowder manufacturers, was examined and deposed that an application was made on the 4th of December, at their premises, for some gunpowder by a man who requested that it should be delivered the next day, at 8, Pulteney-court, street, Golden-square. The man who gave the order stated that the powder was for blasting purposes. Wrn. Burgess deposed to having delivered four b - Alb. barrels of gunpowder at 8, Pniteaeyoonrt, on the 6th of December. One of the barrels was put in the yard, and the others were wheeled away on a truck in the direction of Golden-equars. A small piece of tarpaulin. was thrown over the barrels before they were wheeled away. Witness was paid 3/. 7s. Gd. for the powder. By Baron Bramwell—The size of the 501 b. barrel was that of a four and a half gallon mak. Martha ILempsley, living at 8, Pulteney-oourt, deposed that she had seen the prisoner Barrett several times in the shop arid parlour. She identified his portrait Wore his arrest In Glasgow. By Baron Bramwell—Mrs. Martin kept the shop at No. 8, Pultenereourt. I lodged there with my parents. Sines I have been examined Mrs. Marlin has threatened my life. The barman who conveyed the gunpowder to Pulteney court was recalled, and stated teat the staves (produced) were larger than those which farmed the powder barrels taken from his employer's premises. Thomas Setupsley, an intellit lad, identified Bar rett, whom be had seen at 8, ftliernerconrt. Barrett wore a light grey coat when witness saw him at Pulteney court.
