pious care in the tombs of his fathers
but il is the hundreds Of unknown vic
tins, whose bones now lie moulderinl
over the face Of this county. In hid
den places and by silent paths, in th'
dark ravines OF the mountains, and il
secret. ledges OF the rocks, who shal
say how many bodies Of the victims o
this order now await the final trumI
Of God--and from those lonely sepul
chres, there will 60 up to the God wht
gave them, the spirits OF these murder
cd victims, to take their places among
the innumerable throng Of witnesses
at the last day, and TO confront with
their presence the members of thi.
ghastly tribunal, when their solemn
accusation is read from the plain com
mand Of the Decaloguc, "rHou SHALL
NOR KILL"
But we are told that in the commits
sion of these crimes, although Mr. Bar
tholomew admits that they existed
long years before McParlan came into
the county, this man abandoned his
duty as detective, and became an ac,
complice in the crime. And upon
whose testimony does this charge rest 7
My friend invokes from you careful
attentian TO the facts Of this case, and
properly endeavors TO exclude from II
an examination of any other circum.
stances or any other facts than those
which have been proved IN THIS case

testimony is the charge made that Nc
Parian engaged deliberately IN the
commission OF offences and secreted

and Patrick Coyles, alone, Upon NED
Monaghan, for whom the doors Of
your jail open wide to-day, never prop

the committee TO XII Wiliiam Ihomas
Edward Monaghan, who, today, is as
guilty OF murder in the trst degree as
any other man now confined WITHIN
the walls Of your prison.
And who is Patrick Coyief A man
who saw McParlan drawing q plstoI
and never heard him say or saw hun
do anything else, and because he did
not hear him say anything, he swear:
he believes that MeParlan was lnclted
to murder,

Mr.. bartholomew tells you that he
permitted Thomas Hurley 10 escape
and that he permitted Michael Doyle
to escape. Neither Thomas Hurley
nor Michael Doyle have escaped but
the excorlatlng denunclatlon which Mr.
bartholomew hurled against Thoma'
Hurley will eflectnally prevent him
from defending Hurley, when he comes
before this Court for trial for murder
1t will not be long. before he comes
here. IL is simply a question between

time will come, be 1t short or long, b.

we are doing now, have seen but little
