Two brass filters, named Magic and Fry,
IN the employ ment OF the Southern Railway
at InchicOre, have made an important state
ment to the police. They say they assed
the scene Of the assassination on bicycles
xrar hafurr afffad
They saw two men attack the Chief Secre-
tary and L Under Secretary. There were two
other men near. Lord Frederick Cavendish
was cut on the roadway at the time, moving
away from his assailaSt, who made plunge
Of Whist appeared to be butchers knife al
him. His arm was raised, and his Lordship
fell on the road, almost striking the bicycle
of one OF them. Both heard Lord F. Cav
eniish before falling exclaim to his assail-
ant. "Ah, you villain" The other men at
this time were attacking Mr.. Burke They
got away as fast as they could, as one OF the
murderers advanced towards them with a
bloody knife. One Of the bicycllsts tainted
when he got down some distance. They
noticed the car st the side OF the road ada
cent to where the murders were perpetrsted.
The Jarvey had his back to the murderers.
Two gardeners 10 the employment of the
brother OF Lord Ardilsun state that they
were coming into Dublin that evening. They
noticed hackney car on the road near the
Phenix, the driver alone being on 1t, but
there were four men near It lounging under
the trees. When the gardeners reached the
Cough Statue they met the Chief Secretary
and Under Secretary going up.
The police are convinced that the car with
the men left the city for the Phe1ix Park
about five on Saturday evening. It passed
along BY the side OF the park, which It en-
tered by the Island Bridge Gate, and then,
crossing the swaTd between the Civil Service
and Garrison Cricket Grounds, reached the
main road. The murderers then rode up to
near the Phenix Monument, and awaited
their victims. They got of the car, which
remained on the roadway, and concealed
themselves under q clump OF trees TIL they
saw Lord F. Cavendlsh and Mr.. Burke ap-
prosch. Then they suddenly made rush
upon them. A carman residing In Francis
street was brought to the Castle this eve
ming for Identification. The lad Jacob and
six other witnesses who had seen the vehicle
leaving the park were brought there to see
II they could identify him. The driver and
car were placed among twenty others but
the witnesses could not undertake to say
that he was the man or that was the car
The police, therefore, could not detain him;
but he Is kept under surveillance.
