Tom answered.: II had no revolver; l

Witness had mentioned this to other
cab drivers. Cross examination did not
materially change his testimony.
| No other witness was called for the
defence, and RUSSELL began his address
to the jury. He urged the jury. in con-
sidering the case, to dismiss from their
minds all they may have read upon the
subject OF the killing Of Carey. The
prisoner did not deny shooting Carey.
The question for consideration OF the
! jury was, did he do it under reason
able apprehension Of his life II SO,
they should acquit: if short Of this.
| O'Donnell acted only under threat of
personal violence. They could not con-
Wet him Of murder, although it might
not be possible to let him go free alto
gother. The statement is utterly false
that ODounell went on board the
steamer kinfanns Castle to track Carey
| like sleuth- hound, at the bidding of a
secre. society. Russell said those were
only newspaper charges, which he
warmly denounced. He compared
/ O'Donnell, who. 10 said, was hard
working man. with Carey. who was a
william, eXecra:ed by the people. unpar-
doned by the Queen, known to be cruel,
treasherous and desperate, who, forced
by man likely to denOunce him,
would not scruple to resort to any
weapon to ovorawe O. kill, and who, in
all his murderous conspiracies, took
care OF his own life. 1t was unreason-
able to suppose, If ODonnell had pre-
.aeditated the killing of Carey, he
would have committed it in presence Of
several witnesses.

narrated thu chief alteration that took

Russell. occupied less time than it took
| to tell, hence no examination was heard
of the circumstances covered by the
testimony of the witnesses JOKES, Beech
or and Marks. The evidence given by
Parrish and young Carey was, he con-
tended, unworthy evidence. 1t was be-
yond doubt tina: Carey had pistol at
the time ho was shot. The boys testi-
