DUBLIN, April ls.-on resumption cf
the trial Of Daniel Curley this morning,
Adams began the argument for the defense.
He declared that the evidence given by
Kavannagh did not show that Curley was
at Phoenix Park on May 9th. His presence
there, said Adams, was indicated by James
Carey, who said Curley was in command,
but Carey 80 swore to save his own neck.
He was doubtless himself in command OF
the assassins.
Attorney General Porter on behalf Of the
Crown declared the evidence in support OF
an alibi worthless and conflicting, though
Peter Hanlon proiessed to be in Curley's
company four hours covering the time OF
the assassinations, and claimed that during
that time he mot various persons. The
defense produced but one Of tEts9 persons.
One witness swore that he saw Curley in
saloon. Hanlon testified Curley was in
another place. The Judge then delivered
the charge to the jury. He spoke
strongly against the reliability OF
evidence 10 prove an alibi. He
pointed out that there could not be the
slightest doubt but that the murders were
perpetrated at the instgation OF secret
society with which the person was indis-
putably connected. The charge was com.
pleted at ha!t.past two. The Jury retired

Il was very unfortunate that the

"Invincibles," but was not in Phunix
Park on the evening the murders were
committed. He loved his country and
could suffer ior her. Witnesses for tho
Crown had periured themselves. Curley
also said he was Fepian. After the pris-

Pistol Shots.
OTTAWA, April lS.-Four shots were fired

were intended rs decoy. After the firing
IN individual took the bush and has not
yet been captured. An extra guard was
on duty atthe time, and II was subsequently
strengthened.
The report Of the shooting last night
causes nneasiness in some quarters-in
others, the affair is regarded as hoax. In
the vice regal residence there is some
alarm. The cabinet council considered the
matter. The policeman thus tells the
story: Shortly alter midnight the attention
Of officer Geddes was attracted by report
Of pistol shot proceeding from the grove,
abSut midway between the Government
House and the residence oi Lieutenant
Colonel Dewinton. Following In quick
succession were three other shots. Geddes
made rush in the direction OF the grove
and observed the form Of q tall man retreat-

Remembering he had implicit instruc.
tons from the Superintendent OF Police
not to leave his post on any account he
returned TO his beat and the party escaped,
Officer Falton, on the adjoining, beat met
Geddes returning from the bush, and also
heard the shots. The Superintendent OF
Police attaches little importance to the oc.
Currence, and implies that the officers who
reported the matter were drawing on their
imagination for facts. In the vicinity Of
the grove there Is small lake, and he as
serted shots were fired by Frenchman,
who occasionally shoots muskrats, which
abound there. A Toronto dispatch states
one man IS under surveillance, and bis ar.
rest might be effected within the next
twenty.iour hours, which would throw
light on some Of the mysterious movements.
