LONDON, May "a later telegram from
Dublin says: II now appears Lord Freder-
lex Cayendish and Under Secretary Burke
were stbabed and not shot They were
both strolling in the park, about half
mile from the city gate, and a quarter of
mile from the Chief SeCretary's lodge,
when 4 car drove up containing four men,
two OF whom jumped down from the car
and attacked Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Mr.. Burke stabbing them both sever
al times in the throat and breast. The
victims struggled hard for life, and in the
struggle became separated, their bodies be-
ing found some ten PAGES apart. The trag-
edy occurred about ten minutes after
o'clock in the eAening and in
Broad Daylight.
The bodies were first discovered by two
gentlemen who were riding bicycles
through the park, and who Immediately
gave the alarm to the police. Surgeons soon
reached the spot, but the police were
already conveying Burke's body away to
the town, where an examination showed
life was extinct. The upper part of the
body was perforated in shocking man
ner, and presented CHASTITY sight. Pro-
Ceeding further the medical men reached
the body of Lord Frederick Caveudish,
which was being conveyed away from the
park on a Stretcher. The body of the Chief
Secretary displayed the same
Dreadful wounds,
in addition TO which his left arm was also
broken and torn, as ii he had put it up to
protect his breast. Lord Frederick Caven-
dish was quite dead. The bodies were
taken to Stevens Hospital, where they will
remain until the inquest is held.
The locality of the outrage is terribly
marked with blood. The spot where the
body OF Lord Frederick Caycndish was
found was absolutely delugrd, while
Burkes body lay in
a Pool Of Blood.
1t is said that after the act the murdcrers
immediately drove of There seems to be
! no clue to the assaS>inN at present, but the
police are taking most extraordinary meas
urcS to discover the perpetrators. a large
quantity of notes and gold coin, besides
their gold watches, were found in the
pockets Of the victims, which showed the
| object OF the crime was not robbery.
Great Excitement
prevails throughout Dublin, and wide
spread indignation is expressed over the
event. The telegraph offices are besieged
for the latest news. Owing to the lateness
Of the hour of the arrival Of the news in
London nothing of the outrage is as yet
known here among the general public.
At the London Clubs and other late West
End resorts the news of the assassination
OF Lord Frederick CayendiSh and Under
Secretary Burke was received with feelings
Of s,upefactiOn, followed by expressions Of
the bIttereSt resentment.
