"Speak up" He deposed that he was
always treasurer of the FeDisn Brother
hood. The funds, he said, had always
been in bad state. Here one Of the
prisoners interposed the remark, "Be-
cause you pocketed them" Witness
continued: During his connection with
the society several persons were tried by
the court martial of the organization.
Up to 1879 informers only were tried /.
Edward McCafrey was, prior to No
venber, 1881, a member of the orgsnizs-
ton. In that month he brought Walsh
to Garey's room. Walsh, who was from
the north of England, told Carey his
mission in Dublin was to make history.
The names OF four persons had been sub
mitted to the organization in London as
capable Of heading the organization in
Dublin. Among those names Wss bis
own. Walsh had sworn them in, each
holding knife in his hand. The oath
bound Carey to obey all orders trsns-
mitted to him by the Irish Invincibles,
under penalty Of death. A few days
afterwards Walsh, McCafrey and
James Mallett told him they we're
to form board of directors
of new organization in Dublin of in
vincibles, who were not to exceed $50
members for the whole kingdom, and to
be selected from picked Fenisns (Gen-
eral laughter by the prisoners) Witness
continued. The Dublin branch Of the
organization was to consist of fifty mem
bers and its object was to "remove" all
tyrants. James Mullett was to be chair
man. Forster and Earl Cowper were
named among those to be removed.
Relative to the further operations OF the
Dublin branches it was to be left to its
own discretion. Walsh gave witness
nifty pounds. Arrangements were made
for taking house st Corkhill
close to Dublin castle, from which
Earl Cowper was to be shot. Early in
December witness went to Phoenix
Park with Charley, and there met Null
lett and Walsh watching the Chief Secre-
tary's house. Witness saw brothers of
Foster and Burke coming out. The
four principals in December selected men
for the work in Dublin. Witness selected
man named Rinkle who selected two
men named Leonard and Stephen, the
last named being an American. Nc
Osfrey selected Doyle. A greater mum.
Der OF men were selected by Curley and
Mullett, the latters principal selection
being Brady. By July, 1882, the in
vincibles in Dublin numbered about
thirty. The introduction Of witness to
Sheridan occurred in Decem Der 1881. he
again met Sheridan in February, 1882,
when their confab about arms occurred.
The prisoners listened to this witness
with bresthlesS attention, hardly ex-
chsnging q word.
Witness continued: After Walsh left
Dublin,a man called Captain McCafferty
paid witness two Gums of e25 and Sl5.
Witness did not know McCsfferty, tn
understood he was once tried in Dublin
The society watched days and nights tot
murder Forsters On one occasion he.
escaped by waiting aboard steamer at
Kingston; three waited for him until the
last railway train left. Carey said he
recollected the shooting of McMahon.
Previous to thst time an Arrangement
was made to remove Forster at the COR
ner of John street, and on his way to the
castle. A car was stationed at tho park
Brady, Kelly, Curley and Martin. He
(osrey) gave the signal when Forster
passed. Forster carriage was to be
preceded by Fitzharris' cab, according
to the arrangement, but the plan failed
through the negligence of watcher
called Rowles. Curley reprimanded
Rowles, and watched for Forster on his
return from the castle, but this time
there was failure on the part of the sig
nal cab. Carey was detailed on three
other occasions on which the murGe, of
Forster was prevented by the accidental
passing Of o party Of mounted police.
He said he himself suggested the use Of
knives, and McOafferty directed themato
wind cords around the handles TO
the grip. Frank Byrne, be said
was member Of the land confederation.
His wife brought six knives and o rife
slung around her neck under her cloak,
On the second occasion she brought q
similar consignment, but only four
knives. One Of these has been produced
in court, as was also the rifle intended for |
use at Corkhill. McCaffsrty was Suc-
Ceeded in Dublin by another person, ap-
parsntly of authority, of whose name |
witness was ignorant. Curley became |
chairman after Mullett's arrest, Joseph |
Brady succeeding Curley in the council.
While the council was thus organized |
the murder Of Forster and Burke was
discussed at Aullstt's house. The at

ally followed him to Westlsnd new

only saw FOrster's wife and daughter.
