1863. The priest to whom we went on the first ocev
sion was the Rev. Mr. O'Connell. I cannot remember
how long he had been paying his addresses to me be'
fore that time. I remember that ho told me when Ila
left the Irish constabulary that his object in doing so 554
to make me comfortable. He visited Ireland three 00
after he came to live in England. The first time was i°A
November, 1861; the second was in August, 1862; 1:
i the third in August, 1863. I corresponded with him dttrift
his absence. The priests refused on each occasion to rogri,
us for want of the requisite certificates. After the lip'"
refusal, the prisoner remained for a short time at Vid
mother's house, and on the 7th of August I left Irel3tt
1 with him. We arrived at Bury on the same day, and wel//
to lodge at Mrs. Whittington's. The prisoner Inid
occupied separate rooms. The prisoner remained at IV
Whittington's two days, and then went to lodge at 141
Balfel& I remained a week at Mrs. Whittington's srlo
then went to Mrs. Balfe's also. I stayed there only t,
days, and then went to my sister's, at Coniston, in `veer

Deceased's sister, Julia Dunn, was continually subject
V,
Charles to a harassing cross-examination, and at last
crime was disclosed. oho told Charles on one occasionts
if he did not voluntarily say where his wife was he NO
be compelled to tell. He said, "If I don't know, they cBl/'
not make me tell." After this Julia Dunn said, 66ClorleAl
I understand you have been to Ireland ; have you °
broll',,
Mary with you ?" He said, " Oh, no; she is here in l3tlr,
Julia Dunn replied, "Ail right, where is she?" 66 013,Y0
must not see her ; she told me I was not to tell you." Pi:
asked what objections the deceased could have to her krt°'j
lng where she was, and Charles then became angry, L'l3o
said, " You must go to the police-office, if you willlti,,
know." This was an unfortunate speech for Charles,
Julia Dunn went to the police-office, and after the prisote,
had been several times spoken to by his superior offieg j 5/
strict investigation was instituted, and the deceased's liv;
was exhumed and recognised. It displayed marks of 'lll
lence, and her life had evidently been destroyed by f°
means. Our readers know the rest. 4
On Friday evening Luke Charles retired to rest r.'ol
after ten o'clock, and requested the turnkeys to call hitai
five o'clock in the morning. The turnkeys, however, '1
not disturb him as they were desired, and he slept s*,
soundly until six a.m. He partook of the usual gaol breP:
fast at ten o'clock, and Captain Gibbs, the governor,
~;
asked him if he wished to make any statement, but he F.,
he did not. The Rev. Mr. Gibson, the Catholic challiv
administered the Holy Sacrament and gave the unhl
culprit the last blessing of the Church, and also reader
recommendation to a departing soul. Charles made no i'
fession to the Rev. Mr. Gibson, unless it was in the COlvEh'
sional. He was visited twice after his conviction, on
„„ft,
first occasion by a woman with whom he had lodged atiow:4
and last Sunday by his brother, who accidentally he';
through the medium of the public papers that a mann°l
Luke Charles was to be hanged, and fancied it might beo,
brother of his whom he had not heard of for many I 41,
and accordingly went to the gaol. Charles walked 1160;r.1

he walked steadily. Calcraft adjusted the cap and ropel
