Special Cablegram to the Globe
LONDON, Sept. 25.-A special correspon-
dent on board the steamer .Gaeth Castle
which arrived at Plymouth to day, sends
the following account of an interview he
had with Mrs. Carey during the passage
from Madras.to Plymouth. Mrs. Carey and
her seven children came aboard at Algva
Bay and registered under their own names
as second-class passengers. Shortly after,
as the authorities had not announced their
intention of landing an escort to guard
the family it was thought prudent to
transfer Mrs G. and her five youngest chill
dren named respectively Peter, Patrick,
Maggie, Maria and Francis to two con-
tigious cabins at the extreme end of the
after part of the ship and
to keep their whereabouts strictly
private as possible throughout tha voyage.
Having succeeded in finding the location
of Mrs. Carey's cabin went to see her,
first sending in my card to prepare her for
my visit. 'You will have heard, Mrs.
Carey" said presently, 'that am anx-
ious to hear something of your sad story
from your own lips, if it is not too pain
full for you to tell it." "Sure, sir,'' said
Mrs. Carey, ''you may we'll call it sad
story bat have nothing to tell, except
what has been told in the papers," 81
went away from England so suddenly"
said l, SHAT hardly read the details of
the last part Of your un-
happy case. Do you think O'Donnell went
out to the Cape to shoot your husband?"
Indeed, never set eyes on him till the
other day. O'Donnell, and person called
his wife, were seated in the second class
saloon, I believe, at the time OF the mur-
der" "Was your husband seated or
standing?" ''O'DonnelI and the woman
were seated on settee when I saw them."
Said the widow, "and himself (shs has
very touching way of speaking of her dead
husband as himself) was standing, be-
lieve, but perhaps was sitting. Indeed I
don't rightly know, for had gone to the
cabin with the child. The passengers
used very often to meet down sta irs and
rest on the settees." "Was
O'Donnell very friendly to you
all?" He was; We met him at
Dartmouth, and he used to play dice with
Carey and others. He professed to be
fond of. children, and his wife seemed to
take great fancy to one of my girls, and
the child used to call her aunty. That
makes the murder appear doubly cold,
bloody act.'' SIT does," replied Mrs. Ca
rey. 'Can you recall exactly what hap
pened the day of the murler? O'Don.
nell and my husband had been drinking
together, you say" 'Yes, he himself had
called me to come up out of the close
place with the children, but had not felt
inclined and went in the cabin. Presently
heard O'Donnell ask where Carey
himself was. He was told somewhere
on deck. Soon after heard him say:
You will come down and have a bottle of
beer, wont your Then heard himself
come down and then a shot, but took no
notice Of it, thinking it was cork pop
ping. Then there was second shot and
himself came toward me, crying, oh,
Maggie, O'DonnelPs shot me- I ran out
and we fell down together and that was
the end of it." ''Did not ODonnell want
to shake hands with you afterwards"
she did; he held out his hand to me and
said, ''Shake hands, Mrs. Power; your
name is Carey, isD'tit? Don't be hard On
me; I was sent out to do it," Mrs. ODon-
nell, or the person SO called, limited to her
in the Kinfauns Castle that O'Donnell was
dangerous, but asked her not to tell her
husband. Mrs. Carey fancied, however,
the warning applied to herself. Mrs.
O'Donnell was seen in tears several times
during the voyage out, and was also heard
mploring O'Donnell not to do it. All
these statements must be received with the
greatest caution, for Mrs. G. often contra
diets herself To illustrate the strange
confusion of Mrs. Carey's mind at present
it may be mentioned that though two per-
sons at least know positively the so-callei
Mrs. O'Donnell to be a woman che obsti-
nateiy declares her opinion that the sup
posed female was a man. She describes
her as person of very muscular appear
ance, with hair on the upper lip,
deep voice and masculine gait yet talking
to me, she spoke of hsr as aiwoman. Mrs.
Carey hopes to return to Elizabeth where
she was treated with great kindness.
ITO the Western Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 25-Poland openedthe case
for the Crown. He recoupted the passag ge
out in the stearsge OF the Carey family and
O'Donnell, and repeated the details of the
murder. Poland said O'Donnell's asser-
tion when arrested that he acted in self
defence wauld be contradicted by the tes-
timony of Cgrey's eltest son, who would
swear his father had no pistol. Sullivan,
NJ. P. counsel for O'Donnell, complained
to the court that his solicitor refused &C
cess to the prisoner. Flowers, mag
strate, allowed the prisoner to retire
and consult with his Solicitor

crime was committed and witness Of the
murder, repeated the testimony he gave be-
fore the court at Capetown. The bullet

steamer and the pistol taken from O'Don-
nell, were produced and identified. Jones
