DUBLIN, f6D. Ollie lHVeSClSdLlOu OF
the murder conspiracy charges was re-
sumed. The court was crowded, the lords
and high officials present showing care
full discrimination in the issuance of tick
cts of admission. Michael Kavanagh, the
carman, was marched into the prisoners
dock between two policemen. The new
departure caused much speculation. The
prisoner has a low, retreating forehead,
sinister appearance, and looks anxious and
nervous. The little girl witness, Ellen
Brophy, identified Kayanagh as the driver of
the car containing the men who intended to
assassinate Field, the juryman. Besides
Kavanagh, Joseph Brady and Timothy Kel
ly were also arTaigned in connection with
the attempt to murder Field. After the
hearing of evidence against the prisoners
accused of the attempt to kill Field, the
two Careys, two Mullets, Whelan, Brady,
Kelly, and Kavanagh were charged with
the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Burke. The reason the investigation
against them was taken up is that the au-
thorities intend to complete the evidence
in that case to-day. Counsel then asked
Identification of Kavanagh by
complete. She says she spoke to him,
asked him who he was waiting for. She
saw him when going on messages three
times in half an hour; Immediately after
her return the third time she heard cries
of murder, and Immediately ran to the
door. By that time there we're three men
besides the driver on the car, the third
man just mounting. She was only able to
identify Kavanagh. She was
severely cross examined, but never
faltered. When Kavanagh was identi-
fed he blushed and smiled uneasily.
Brady, when he entered the prisoners
dock, had staggering manner. Kelly
was pale but defiant looking. Jas. Null
lett laughed when the charge concerning
the Phoenix park murder was read, but
none of his companions joined. Much
time was occupied in proving the letting
of large room in Peter street to Jas.
Carey, ostensibly as reading room, but
really for the purpose of drilling the men.
He left the room in October, 1879.
VIM. Winter was placed on the stand to
prove to letting Temperance hall, on Cuffs
street, to Patrick Whelan, for drilling pur-
poses. He failed to identify the prisoner.
Witness, amid laughter, denied that the
term WITNESS for the CROWN was applica-
BILE to him. A witness named Clinton, who
let room on Peter street, used as drill
room, identified Brady and James
Casey. The seizure of arms at
Whelan's house was formally proved.
After the evidence of finding ammunition,
revolver and two daggers in Joseph Null
let's house, the prisoners were rem anded
until Saturday next. The sensation of the
day was the reading of extracts from
books found when the Fenian armory on
Gross Kelvin street was seized. The diary of
Patrick Whelan records his appointment
as treasurer of the executive committee
Irish Republican brotherhood, purchases
in London of rifles, and an electric battery
a meeting of the executive committee to
consider resolution which was after
wards proposed at the rotunda meeting
of the land league by the nationalist, and
meeting to consult on the advisability of
| sending James Aohsn to America, to con-
suit "our chief" James Stephens. This
reference to Stephens, particularly, caused
laughter among the prisoners and people.

former effectiveness and prestige. No
longer dreaded as q revolutionary body,
! it had become mere tool
in the hands of parliamentary
sspiraats.'' Another book contained a
lisRof members ofa workmsn's club. The
police inspector admitted that Whslan was
formally arrested, but net tried. Police
men testified to finding the murdered body
Of Bailey, the informer. Prisoners coun-
sci declared this matter was wholly irrels-
want. The crown counsel replied that he
was prepared to prove the prisoners were
members of a conspiracy to which he
would trace all the murders in the city the
last few years, and he would preve that
Bailey was connected with the
discovery of the armory. An informsr
rendered evidence in regard to the murder
Of Herbert, near Castle islandEin March
last. The supposed murderer 10 now in
