VIZ WEIN IN COURT AT KILYAINHAN.

The intense desire prevailing amongst all clews in
Dublin to hear the Crown inclthares in reference to
the mu der of Lord Frederick Cavendith and Mr.
Burke warn evidenced bj the large number of people who
proceeded to Kilmitinhana on Sat iniay morning to
c itch • glimpse of the 20 pre mers charged with con-
epiricy to murder as they wee conveyed from the
gaol to the courtebothe The prisoners' relstives, men
women, and children, kiseerl hands to them, ad
waved handkerchiefs ; lut no other communication
with them wh.t ver was pe•nad.teri. The conAthouse
was crowded I' excess. Eight pi is.nere were put
forwent—Joseph Brady, iwar I O'Brien, Edward
delliff en, James Carey. Timothy Kelly, Laurence
Hanlon. Peter Carey. • d P tir Doyle—on • charge
of having on the 9th of May last murdered
Lord Frederick Cavendith and Mr. Thomas
Henry Burke. When the ch rye was read
some of the accuse I laughed loudly. The Crown
was again represerited in the ern of Mr. Murphy,
Q.C., and Mr. O'Brien, The inners were
delthdrxi by Dr. Webb, (./ c., winners
J. 0. Byrne, and
Mr. R. Adams. Mr. Murphy 'thud that the
prisoners were charged with the murder of L rd
Canedish and Mr. Burke on the 6th of May last.
This statement created intense ex.itement in court, as
it was not supposed that the direct charge of murder
woul.l be made at this stage of the inquiry. Some of
the prisoners on hearing the charge laoghtel, but their
jocalarity seamed strains I, and ci cost pre-arreoged.
M..laffery and Peter Carey, against whom prior to
Saturday there was but little vidence, seemed 1, rattly
altered and did net join in the (weed merriment. The
first whams called was John Fitzsimons, who lea man
past middle age, with gray hair, and Intelligent
expression. He derribel the finding of knives and a
rifi in the lolt in Casey's house, and after cons der.
able scrutiny identified the newly-elected working-
man'. Town Councilor. who bad been sitting in •
lie, lass, indifferent attitusie. lint, iog identified, how-
ever, his manner change I. He s'A.r.• I up, and listened to
the further evidence of the ait“ne with great atten-
e. Peter Carey was al-o ilentifie by Fitzsimons. A
thrill of horror ran through the othwde I court when
Ur. Murphy said, "Produce that rifle and they
knives." Thaw, wrap aw are surgical in.trumebts
known as large amputation knives, with blades
about eleven inches long and three-quarters of an
inch broad, narrowing to • point. The handles
are three or four inches to g, an l are scored, for
the purpose of giving • secure grip t an operate
Inspector Smite, who, oo the information of
Fit:Arnow, found the weapons in Carey's loft, was
next examined. Then followed the medical evidence
with horrifying details of the fearful wound@
Inflicted by the murderers. Surgeon Porter &seedbed
the appearance of the matinitel bodies of the
murdered gentlemen. Mr. Murphy held up before
this witness one of the knivei found in Carey'.
house, and staked if the wounds he described would
be made by such • weapon. The Surgeon in
Ordinary to the Queen In Ireland said they would, and
explained that some of the Jujubes must have been
made by knives having a great length of blade, such
[as the one produced. After Surgeon Porter'. examin-
ation, Mr. Thomas Myles, house surgeon of Steven's
Hospital, gave his evidence. lie described the poet-
mortem examination, and, as he detailed the wounds
I and their shape, he took up one of the knives, and
explained how its keen bin le corresponded exactly
with • fearful gash in Mr. Barke's body, where the
weapon penetrated the beck, pierced the heart, and
came out at the breast of the murdered man. Dr.
Myles was not cram-examined. The witnesses who
were about the scene of the murder, and who identified
some of the prisoners as being at the spot, were next
produced. Stephen Hans, a ohairmakew by trade,
deposed to seeing • gr gip rd men lying on their faces
on a grassy slope borderinr the footp ith of the principal
road through the Placed: Park. The description of
the acne by the withers and the lurking of the
amassing sent • thrill of horror through the court. In
reply to Mr. Murphy'. qurstion, "Can you identify
any of the men you saw there?" the witting with-
out hesitation turned roun I ani p Anted out the
third man in the front row of the prisoners, a man
whose pale face, deep-set eyes, thick black beard,
oovering the greater part of his countenance, and hair
falling in thick, drsight manes from his fontanel,
makes his appearance one of the most remarkable
of the prisoners. Teas is O'Brien, the ehosmaker or
blacksmith. As Ham pointed him out, an uneasy
epaemodic twitching of the muscles of his month gave
the semblance if a smile to his gloomy counten-
ance, hut he was otherwise man 'red. Then Hans
pointed out Brady as the other man whom he could
recognise. The latter quietly smiled when he was
identified. The witness was cross-examined by Dr.
Webb at considerable length, but nothing of the
slightest importance was etited. When the deposi-
tions of Hans were being lea I over, the prisoner
O'Brien said in a low tone, 'it is a lie" at the
portion referring to ha identification. Sarah Hans,
the wife of the last witness, corroborated her
husband, and fully ident.fied O'Brien and Brady,
although the prisoners changed their positions,
apparently with design. Ge age Golden, the deer-
keeper of the Placenix-park, next donned to seeing the
car being driven from the scene of the murder, and
identified Brady, who smiled uneasily. The last
witness exunined was a farmer from the Straw-
berry Beds, named Francis Powell. He deposed to
...Jog a group of men standing beside • clump of
trees close to the scene of the murder. This witness
identified Brady as one of those men, and created
• sensation by identifying M'Caff ay, who had not
previously been pointed out by any of the witnesses.
The fifteen remaining priv ears were then brought
into the dock, and formally remanded till to-day
(Monday.)
As the prisoners were being removed from the court-
yard to the adjacent courthouse they were cheered by •
small crowd of friends, who were watching the
passage. The police immediately dispersed the crowd.

Over one hundred persona suspected by the police
as being concerned with the org initiation are reported
to have left the city, bit have not succeeded in
getting out of the kingdom. The police have ten more
warrants to execute, an I msmbirs of the nubile
Detective Department are at present in Birmingham,
London, and Manchester seeking to execute them.
The carman who drove the outside car on which the
assassins escaped from the scene of the murder is
believed to be in New York. No lees than three
informers will turn up on Monday or Saturday next;
hut their evidence will only go to prove the existence
of the organisation for the murders of the Government
officials. Intense excitement prevailed in Dublin on
Saturday night, the newspaper offices being besieged
by throngs of anxious inquirers.
Baron Carlvon Newrath, a teacher of I-
brought an action on before thelmm
Recorder, against the lily. Canon hymen and others
for alleged consWracy to lep-ive him ~1 his wife. The
Recorder dismissed the sett n. believing the charge to
be unfounded. The plaintiff alleges his wife is con-
cealed from him, and plumed from house to house to
elude his search, thus depriving him of her comfort
and enjoyment.
Thursday night in Dublin a moo smashed the shop
window of Memrs. Wee, jew thus, but the noise iv-
treated attention, and he hsd to make a precipitate
escape. Last week a similar outrage was committed at
another shlp, the thieves then succeeding in carrying
away jewellery valued at nearly £6OO.
