able to recognize him as Rthe
man they saw in Pbenix F ark
that day. If the jury believed these
witnesses could be mistaken, then the
case rested solely on the suspicious evi.
dence given by the informers. The
| doubtful and unreliable character Of the
evidence was too clear to be commented
Oh. If the jury would set the evidence
of the innocent Meagher girl against
that of the infamous Carey-liar and
hypocrite yes, liar and hypocrite and
murderer, too, by profession as well as
practice-they would undoubtedly de-
clare in accord with the facts. the prob
abilities and the evidence that Brady
was not guilty. The Court here said
the points raised by Webb agains. the
introduction of the evidence could not
be sustained. Adams in closing for the
defense said Heaven forbid that
should ever be arraigned be fore the trI-
bunsl of public opinion as the defend.
ant Brady has been, in advance of a
regular trial. Brady's ease has been
preiudiced his guilt has been presu,n. d
10 the matter most scan1alous on record.
Let not the jury be led away and per-
verted from doing justice b. cause the
crime is awful in Its nature, but let
them consider .olidly the question
whether Brady Is guilty. Let them
bear in mind that the chief evidence
against him comes from persons whe
spike to save their own necks. Such
evidence must be regarded with great
suspicion. He went on to say that the
prin cipals IN the conspiracy had fed to
the United States and to France before
Carey and Kavanaugh had given their
testimony in the KilmainhaU examina-
tion. Nash. for the Crown. in reply
SAID that the circumstances OF the
crime are not doubted. He equally
conceded thai i. was the fruis of cou.
spIracy, and not 3 matter of personal
revenge; for this reason the Crown had
been able to adduce evidence of the ex-
listing conspiracy. The account Of the
organization. its objects and plans given
by Farrell was such as could never have
been concealed by the most skillfnl law
yer. The counsel then traced the con-
Meeting link in the evidence. Naish
took the evidence OF various witnesses,
who swore to having s.en Brady IN
Phenix Park, dissec.ed &c care
fully and maintained that t fur
nished the strongest possib'e prof
that Brady was there. He held that
there was an utter failure on the part
of the defense to establish an allbi fer
Brady. The evidence, if little, was
entirely with the actual facts, and it
stood alone. This closed the speeches |
and Judge O'Brien began his charge. |
Commenting on the evidence sdduced |
by the defense to prove an abb, he |
said there was nothing az far as couid |
be d scoyered to fig the particular even !
ing Of the Is OF May in the mind of Miss |
Mesgher. Evidence tending to prove
an abb WIS frequently resorted !
to or invented, espe ciallv by women,
when It's production would assist their |
friends. Passing on to the evidence OF |
the lniorru=rs. the Judge said that, al /
though Carey hal every conceivable |
motive and linda enen. to give In his !
evidence statements calculate d TO serve |.
his own purpose, lie had Iold e stray 1T |
forward stor,. aud one IN which he did |
hot save himself. the jury were ex-
horted TO consider, however, THAI il he |
be detected il swearing falsely, she !
Crown would be Justified i'll proceeding
against him the same as against other |
prisoners.
The jury then retired. They did not
remain long away, for after about 40 |
minutes they sent word back that they
had reached an agreement, and being
summoned back - their benches, an
nounctd amid bres.hless silence, that
in the case Of Joseph Brady he was
guilty OF murder. When the verdict
was read a deep bat suppressed muir
muir went round the Con t-TuOm, and |
Brady, who up 20 this time had been
sing ularly posed and free from emo
ton, tDrned as pale as deash. Or.
Webb started up TO make a motion, and
after complete silence had been restored
and before the Judge pronounced the
Of death, said IN an impressive
voice ~ desire 70 move fos au ar
rest ii judgment. Ee alleged that
under the Grimes Act the jury which
heard the case and had just given 1t It's
verdict, vas not legally formed that
the prisoner bad net received notice

Jury. The motion was denied by Judge
D Brien, who now said 10 the prisoner
'' Have you anything TO say why SEN

lounced 71pon you ?"
Brady responded in a load, clear and
firm voice : Il ain nos guilty Of the
charge which the informers have sworn
