The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-08-01

Tie dependence he could place upon police
protection when his services were no long
or required. This Bailey gave information
TO the authorities which enabled them to
make one OF the most extensive seizures OF
arms and ammunition ever achieved by
them in Ireland. Twenty-Five rifles, ten
revolvers, 1900 rounds OF ammunition, an
immense store OF dynamite, illuminate
OF mercury, decorating caps, and gun
powder fell into their hands through Bal
ley's fundamentally. How did the
Government reward him After a
fortnight they withdrew police protec-
ton from him, but proflered to pay his fare
TO London, q generosity which would have
lesSened the British eXchequer by about
IS. The wretched man begged to be sent
out 10 some distant colony, pleading that
his life would be in as much jeopardy in
London as in Dublin. The representative
OF the Crown in Ireland could not dream
OF becoming responsible for such an ex-
travagance. Bailey was turned adrift. HIS
landlord would not let him back into his
miserable tenement. His employer would
not give him another hours work. lie was
forced with his family into the work-house.
Even there the paupers turned against him
that he yentlIred into the outer world
again with the desperate resolve to beg or
steal as much rs would take him out OF the
country. Three days after his body was
discovered in Shippers alley, and two bull
lets in his head told from what quarter his
death-sentence had come. No clue has
ever been found to justify an arrest for the
crime.
Other Irish iniormers, too, have been
uniformly foredoomed from the moment
they appeared in the witness-box TO tender
evidence against their former friends.
Pierce Maggie was the first traitor OF i'm
portance in the Fenian ranks. TO his reye-
lations were due the convictions Of the
staff OF the Irish People newspaper and
the first executive Of the Irish Revolution
airy BrotherhOod-Luby, O'Leary, Kick
ham, O'Donovan Rossa and the rest. After
his nefarious work had been accomplished
he disappeared. and for eleven years nothing
was heard Of him. But the vengeance and
hatred CT an Irish conspiracy Is evcrlast-
ing, and in 1876 eleven years after
his treachery) it overlook Pierce Nagle.
One cold, gray autumn morning his corpse
was found under Il London railway arch,
and a huge cheese-knife driven through
the back and penetrating the heart told
that he had not died from natural causes.
Warner, the Cork iniormeI, who vas the
first to reveal the existence OF the seditious
spirit in the army, was attacked year or
so subsequently, in Clontari. lie was &C.
vercly wounded, but did not die then, and
his assailant, who was taken on the spot,
got off with twenty years penal servitude.
Warmers wounds FASTENED his death, and
added TO the agony Of his last moments.
Talbot, to whom the lifelong imprisOn-
ment Of Sergeant Mccarthy and other mill
tary Fenians was due, escaped for five or
six years, but it was only respite. not a
reprieve. He was eventually shot through
the head in IIardwicke street, Dublin, after
leaving a brOthcl. lie died in terrible
pain, which was intensified by the
bunging Of surgeons who attended him,
and who, in probing for the bullet, ex-
plored every inch OF his Uranium.
Another military informer named Meara
was shot dead in public house in Bishop
street, Dublin, before he had ended his
appearances rs witness in the court-mar-
tlal.
The last informer who suffered the death
penalty previous TO Carey was man
named Clarke, who was traced all the way
from Mayo to Western Australia, aud shot
whilst engaged in ploughing a field.
Comments OF the London Press on the
Assassination of Carey.
LONDON, July 3l.-The Daily Telegraph
SAYS the Government have little doubt that
Carey was followed from Dublin. They
believe that the Fenians had taken the most
elaborate measures to prevent his escape.
According TO the latest accounts the MUIR
der occurred at sea. Carey was not killed
outright, but died shortly after he was
shot. O'DOnnell surrendered himself
quietly. He was placed in irons, and was
handed over to the police when the Melrose
arrived at Port Elizabeth.
O'DOnnell, who shot James Carey, the
informer, was accompanied from England
by his wife, who appeared to be on init
mate terms With Carey and his family du-
ring the voyage.
PUBLIC MISFORTUNE.
The Times pronounces the death OF
Carey a public misfortune. 1t says he had
been an instrument OF justice, and that the
murder is calculated TO encourage the
daring and iawless spirits to commit acts
of violence. The JOY caused IN Ireland by
the iniOrmer's death is proof that many
elements of danger still exist there.
Another account OF Carey's murder
would indicate that the shooting had been
done at sea, and that the iniormer had died
later, on arriving at Port Elizabeth.
A LAMENTABIE AFFAIR.
The Daily Telegraph says of the affair:
No one can fail TO lament the death OF Ca
rev. lie had been witness for Justice,
and his murder was the leveIllng OF the
pistol at law and order and the whole So
cial system. as well as the remainder OF the
hateful spirit with which the survivors OF
Carey, Brady, Kelly, and their companions
were likely to prosecute the war on hui
manitv already organized. The same pa
per believes that the murder was ordered
from either London, Dublin, or New York,
and that it would have taken place no mat
ter what direction he may have taken.
The Post alludes to the murder as
startling proof of the discipline and deter
mination OF the secret order existing in
Ireland.
TERROR TO OTHER INF0RNERS.
The Daily Ne,rS says the story of the as
sassination clearly shows, in the peculiar
way in which this avenger OF blood has
oycrtaken his victim, that the murder party
in Ireland must have an extremely keen
secret police organization. Save Guiteau,
il adds, no secret criminal has excited so
much attention as Carey. While his muir
der is to be deplored, and while people feel
only disgust Of his crime, his death can but
bring terror TO the hearts OF other inform
ers.
