the witness Immediately identified as that

He was one Of the prime movers IN the
murder of Burke, but he was under conf

counsel on this point he finally admitted he
was not under any compulsion when he
pointed out Burke TO the assassins and urged
the murderers 70 remember that the man
clad in gray was Burke.
Witness said that although he for sixteen
years had been working for wages aversg-
ing only two pounds week he mad, in 1882,
ninety tenants occupying his various houses.
The counsel for the defense bought out
in sharp contrast TO points made by the crown
door of the church in Fitzharris cab on the
9th of May: that he was the first man TO
suggest the daggers to be used, and after
wards suggested that the weapons with which
the crime was committed be put on exhibit

he had been informed BY Mr.. MallOn. chief
of d, tectives, if his evidence should be given
freely to the state and be confirmed by that
OF other witnesses, he and his brother would
be pardoned for their share in the conspiracy.
His attention being called 10 the trifing de-
tails which had been discovered lately re-
garding the movements of FitZharris' cab in
the park on the day of the murder and which
had not been given by witness, Cary remarked
quietly, but with evidence of significance,
that he had so far only answered questions
put to him by the counsel and that he could
if unrestricted, and if he desired, could tell
great deal worse.

hands were stepped in blood

Subsequently Carey said he was not telling
half what he knew. He was more friendly
to the counsel for the defense than the coun-
sellor was aware flor he had told the latter
to bear in mind that he was not telling
everything he knew about his client.
The counsel vehemently protested that he
wished to have no friendly intercourse with
witness and no favor from him.
Michael Kavanaugh, who drove the car in
which the murderers rode, placed on the
stand and repeated the evidence he gave at
the preliminary examination at Kilmainham
court.
He made material amendment to 1t, how
ever by saying it was Smith and not Delany
whom he drove to the scene of the murder
with Carey his statement made before was
a mistake. and his testimony showed ii was
Brady who directed him where to drive and
who designated the place for him to wait for
the murderers on May 9th, last.

who turned informer, corrOborated the story
of his doings, May 9th, As related by Carey.
