Peer Arab.
The formal charges against Arabi
Pasha cite articles of the Ottoman penal
and military codes. Broadley and Nap
ier, counsel forArabi, in public letter.
'cOntended that he cannot be convicted
under those codes; that the rebels must
have waRed war against the Sultan, in
order for them to be applicable in this
case" The letter also declares that the
prisoner will prove that the Porte ap-
proved of his action from the first to
the last; and, that the Khedive also,
long before the commencement of the
war, wavered between the renegade
party and the ssNationistal, but that after
the arrival of Dervish Pasha in Egypt

sistance.

Sentenced to Death.
1DUBLN, Nov. 2l.-The remaining
four men charged with completely in
the murder of the Joyce family, who
had not yet been brought to trial, today
plead guilty and threw themselves on
the mercy Of the Court. They were
sentenced to death.
Malley. one of the counsel, submit
ting plea of guilty, pointed out the
Rradations Of guilt on the prisoners and
the mysterious influences of which they
were instruments, and made a pathetic
appeal for the men. The Attorney
General said now that justice had been
indicated by sentencing three of the
principal criminals, he would recon-
mend the others to the mercy of Judge
Barry. In passing sentence he informed
the prisoners that they furnished ter
rible example, which, he hoped, would
sink deeply into the hearts of others of
the consequence of joining secret So
ciety. It was not improbable, he said,
that some had been terrorized into go
ing into the gang who murdered Joyce.
and had not taken an actual manual
part in the massacre, but persons join
ing an unlawful enterprise are respon-
sible for the act Of all parties thereto.
Az far as he was personally concerned
he should be very glad If those with
whom the decision rested could see their
way to mercifQl consideration Of NAL
ley's appeal.
