THE PHCENIX CLUB
PROSECUTIONS.

TRALEE, WEDNESDAY

The examination of Daniel Sullivan was resumed this
morning. He said: He came from Bantry to Skibereen on
a Sunday, in the first week in December, and slept in the
Phoenix room, at Murty Downing's where he saw about
ten men, members of the society, being drilled by Mnrty
Downing On the 10th or 11th of October the witness was
in Killarney, and met Florence Sullivan in Doctor Lenni-
gan's shop, and asked him how the so-Aety was getting on
there. He said it was getting on very slowly, as the clergy
would not allow them to take the oath. There were several
meetings at F. Sullivan's, at Kenmare. He heard from the
prisoner that there was a large meeting there, and
that two young men came from Killarney. Saw
the prisoner at several of the meetings which were
generally held at night, and at which there was always
speeching about the society and the Americans coming over.
The room in which the meetings were held was always
locked or bolted ; and if any one, not a member, came in,
the conversation ceased. Saw J. Sullivan in the room
during those meetings.
Cross-examined by Mr. O'Hagan : I went on the 20th of
August to Bantry, and the next morning proceeded, with
five others, to the Priest's Leap, about five miles from
Bantry. The two prisoners, John Connor and Patrick
Hennessey, were also at the Leap. Altogether there were
eight people there. I had a pair of pistols. No one had
arms but me. The pistols were not loaded by me that day :
don't know whether Cullimane loaded them or not : they
were not discharged by me. I sometimes carry pistols
with me through the country. I think Kerry is a peaceful
country. Don't know whether people generally go armed
or not. We stopped at the Leap about two hours. The
drilling that day lasted about ten minutes. We
marched down the hill two deep. Were again drilled
on the high road, near Lord Bantry's gate, at
Glengariff. The drillinc, would have continued longer only
that a woman passed, and it was stopped. I don't think we
were ten minutes drilling. This occurred about five or six
o'clock in the evening, on a bye piece of the road. On my
second visit to the Priest's Leap, there were about twenty
persons there. We remained about four hours at the top of
the Leap, for we waited a long time for the Bantry men.
When returning home, we were drilled on the Kerry side.
The drilling lasted about half an hour. All who were at
the Priest's Leap on the second day were members of the
Phoenix Club, except Leary, who had only taken the oath
of secresy. [The witness stated that he had taken an oath
of secresy and brotherhood, and had broken them.]

The cross-examination was going on at three o'clock, when
the post left. There is no excitement in the town, or any-
thing to indicate the existence of feeling in reference to the
prosecution, except a placard which is posted soliciting
subscriptions to the Fair Trial Fund, which is being raised
throughout Ireland, for the defence of the prisoners.
