crime was without motive. II is not only
the most fatal blow that has ever been
struck at the Land League, but one of the
most disastrous blows which has been sus-

last century. Its occurrence at this part-

litical matters. He was very little known
to the Dublin populace. He was present,
unrecOgnized, at the great political meet
ing in Phoenix Park last summer. He
belonged to land.Owning family. Many
people have for a long time believed him
to be the real governor of Ireland.
