The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1882-08-26

The scandalous sentence of Mr.. Gray of the
Dublin Freeman's journal, for the mere faul,
of publishing letter from correspondent,
mentioning fact IN relation to the trial OF
Mr.. Hynes that was as notorious as it was dis
graceful, has excited storm of popular lndig
nation that continues on the increase. The
trial of Hynes was the first that had occurred
under the new repression act, and resulted in
the conviction of young Hynes, a representa-
tive Of one of the Oldest families IN the coun
,y Glare, and his sentence to be hanged. The
case of young Hynes is thus stated by the
New York Times:
The condemned, from the Irish point OF
view, is mere boy. He and his brothers
have been locally famous as cross country
riders, and before the land agitation began at
tended all the meets of hounds and barriers,
rode in the "gentlemen's" steeple.chases in
various parts of the country, and enjoyed a
certain amount of popularity The father of
Hynes, who latterly has been living in Eng.
land, was at one time lawyer of the second
grade, held the agency Of some large estates,
and had an extensive practice. 1t is believed
by his friends that he became insane. He re.
signed appointments of considerable pecuniary
value, engaged himself to rich widow whom
he had known and loved In early life, but was
not permitted to wed. While preparations
were being made Tor the wedding, the WIDOW
having already transferred some of her prop.
erty to his keeping he married singer OF
third-ratc position, whom he had met IN a
Dublin concerthall. He lived extensively
tor time, but ultimately separated from his
wife and left the country. HIS family of sons
and daughters, throughout this experience, re-
manned at their old home Toureen, near En-.
MS. The farm which surrounded it was of
considerable extent, ana the young men, thrown
upon their own resources SO Unexpectedly, did
their utmost to conduct 1t prOtitably Pre-.
viously their expensive tastes had been liber
ly provided for out of their fathers income,
and the farm was not even expected to pro-
duce enough to pay the rent, much less to keep
up the establishment The result was that
they fell into arrears with the landlord, and IN
the course OF events were evicted. Doloughty
was put into possession as herdsman, and
having disregarded all warnings 10 leave, was
al last shot and killed. In TIL beginning of
the troubles the brother of young Hynes was
arrested and threatened with prosecution I'M
der the White Boy act but the proceedings
came to nothing. The jurors who brought in
in September, were promptly accused with
having been drunk the night before delivering
II, and although they. in open court, denounced
the accusation as false, It will be extremely
difficult to convince large proportion of the
people of Ireland that they were not frs,
packed and then piled with wine to keep their
courage up.
The Dublin correspondent of the New York
World gives this account of the trial of Hynes
and how MIR. Grey got mixed up with the case
DUBLIN, Aug. 1O-Last week man named
Francis Hynes was brought to Dublin under
the Coercion act ana tried for the murder of
one John Doloughty. The trial took place be
lore Mr.. Justice Lawson. In the process of
selecting the jury the right OF challenge was
exercised very freely by the counsel for the
Government, and 1t was popularity charged
that none but Protestants were accepted.
