sudden impulse. That the crime can be
traced to any political organization 1 do not

assist in the murder of Lord Frederick Caven-
dish and Burke. His statement has been COM
municated to the Home Secretary and he has

LONDON, May 10.-In answer to the Stan

clean breast of information that would throw
light on the murder, Davitt recalls the fact
that he came out of Portland prison Saturday
afternoon, having been confined sin solitude
fifteen months without having seen news
paper or letter that did not pass through the
hands of the Governor of the prison. He rebutS
the implication that he and other Leaguers
must possess information that would enable
the authorities to track the assassins. He de-
clares Parnell and Dillon cannot lend any
more assistance in bringing the assassins to
justice than that given in their manifesto. He
also recalls the fact that from the first initia-
tion of the League he warned the Irish people
against outrage as the greatest danger to the
movement He says that when he delivered
speeches in the United States from New York
to San Francisco he did his best to lay the de-
mon of revenge.
He continues "HadsI been permitted to
continue my crusade against soutrages and to
level all the influence of the lapd league
against murder and mutilation of cattle, l
could have prevented Numbers of crimes which
stain the name of Ireland, and might have
ayerted the horrible deed of Saturday last"
Davitt re iers Mr.. Forster to the speech that he
DavitD made before his arrest in which he
predicted the accumulation of crime that
would result from the policy Mr.. Forster was
persuing, and held him responsible before
God.
