The Irish Trial.
DUBLIN, April 12.-Counsel for TIL
defense spoke an hour. His argu
ment was in support of an afibi TO
prisoner James Mullett. Another o
the prisoners has made a statemen
to the Crown on the strength o
which, it is said, he will be accepted
as apprOver.
Joseph Smith, another of the &C
cused who turned informer, repeated
the story of his doings at Phmnil
Park, as stated by James Carey a
the preliminary hearing. Smith sale
he was sworn in as an Invincibl'
three weeks before the murders. II.'
Invincibles had a secret sign BY
which they knew each other, which
was the holding of a knife in thu
palm of the hand. The physician
who examined the bodies of Caven
dish and Burke then gave evidence
relative to the nature of the wounds
The case for the prosecution closed al
8 O'Clock. The a for the defense
then opened. The photographs rec
ognized by Carey as "No. II were
those Of Tyner.
Michael Kavanagh, being placed
on the stand, repeated the evidence
he gave at the preliminary examina-
ton in Kilmainham court house.
The testimony showed it was Brady
who directed him where to drive and
so designated the place for him to
wait.
Carey's crOss-examinatiOn: He was
one of the prime movers in the MUIR
der of Burke, but was under compul-
sion during the time directly preced-
ing the event. Being closely inter-
rogated by counsel on this point,
Carey finally admitted that he was
not under compulsion when he point
ed out Burke to the assassins and
urged the murderers to remember the
man clad in the gray suit, who was
Burke. Witness said although he
had for 16 years been working for
wages averaging only two pounds
per week he had IN 1882 ninety ten
ants occupying his various houses.
Counsel for the defense brought out
in sharp contrast TO points made by
the crown that Carey drove with his
children to the door of the church in
Fitzharris' cab on the 9th of May,
and that he was the first man to sug-
gest that daggers be used, and after
wards suggested the weapons with
which the crime was committed.
They should be put on exhibition as
national relics. The answer of the
witness to questions concerning
promises OF pardon we're given with
much hesitation. Finally he said he
had been informed by Mallon, chief
of the detectives, if his evidence
should be given freely to the state,
and be confirmed by others, he and
his brother would be pardoned. This
statement caused a sensation. The
attention of Carey being called to
trifing details discovered lately re-
garding the movements of Fitzharris'
cab in the park on the day of the
murder, and which had not been
given by the witness, Carey remarked
significantly: "He had so far only
the questions put to him by
the counsel, and he could, if unre-
stricted, and as he desired, tell a
great deal more" The cross exami-
nation of Carey was very severe, the
counsel for the defense remarking
that Carey's hands were stepped in
blood.
Carey-''Tbat is not true"
Subsequently Carry said he Vas
only telling half he knew, and was
more friendly to counsel for the de-
Tense than counsel himself was aware
Of. He told counsel to bear in mind
he was not telling everything he
knew against his client. Tile coun-
vehemently protested it was his
wish to have no friendly intercourse
the witness, and asked. no favor
rom him.
Michael Kavanaugh, who drove
he cal on which the murderers rode,
repeated his former evidence sub
'tantially in the same language. He
made a material amendment, how
.ver, saying it was smith, not De-
aney, whom he drove to the scene of
he murder with Carey. His previ-
,us statement was a mistake. His
testimony showed that it was Brady
Who directed him where to drive and
Who designated the place for him to
