plains this. and adds that .safter the
first day. when he was suffering acnte-
lv from the wounds and hrnises he had
received the nrisoner never lost a.,
opportunity of expressing his satisfac.
ton that he had failed to murder his
ROYAL Hishness. The snbstapca IF
O,Farrell's statements is that e., ,orl
rant came out from England to execute
the Prince that he and nine others
met in Sydney to consider the expedi-
ency of carrying out this warrant !;
they took an oath binding each one to
abide by the decision of the majority J;
1T was agreed that the execution
should be appointed by lot; aud they
all swore to kill the man to whom the
lot fell if he failed to do the job
O'Farreli stated that the. organization
which sent ont the warrant "was the
same as the Americana and that if
the Prince went to New Zealand he
would be in danger of another attempt
upon his life, although "after this they
may consider the anxiety of his moth
.er, and might think that to shoot a
man who had been shot at once would
look cowardly." Omitting the ques-
tons of the Colonial Secretary, the
following is about all of O'Farrell's adj
