THE PHOENIX PARK MURDER.
Brady On Trial-Tries to COncilt.
ntS. the Defending ('OunSel

The trial of Joe Brady, who is charged
with numbering Lord Frederick Caven-
dish and Mr. Burke, was resumed this
morning. James Carey was again
placed on the witness stand and cross
examined by counsel for the defense
who ELECTED the Information that Carey,
when plotting murders with the other
accused men, was member OF Sodal-
ity which received the sacrament at
stated periods. Carey also said he was
promised pardon before he determined
TO give evidence against his teliow-con-
spiratorS. A photograph was handed To
Carey, which h"immediately Identified
as that of the man known as Number
One" Carey said he was one of the
prime movers in the murder of Burke,
but he was under compulsion during the
time directly preceding the event.
Being closely Intercepted by counsel
on this point he finally admitted that
he was not under compulslon when ne
pointed ont Burke to the aSSaSins and
urged the murdererS to remember that
the man clad in a gray suit was Burke.
The witness said that though he had
for sixteen years been working for
wages, averaging only two pounds per
week, he had in 1882, ninety tenants
occupying his various houses.
The counsel for the defense brought
out in sharp contrast to the points ruadr
by the Crown that Carey drove with his
children to the door of the church il
FitzharriS' cabon the 9th Of May; that
he was the first man to sugge that
daggers be used and that he afterwards
suggested that the weapons NTH which
the crime WAS committed should be put
on exhibition as national relies. The
answers of witness to questions put HIM
concerning promises of pardon were
given with much hesitation.
Finally, he said he hal been informed
by Mr.. Mallon, chief OF the detectives
that if his evidence should be given
freely to the State and should be con-
tirmcd by that of other witnesses he
and his brother would be pardond for
their share in the conspiracy. This
statement caused some sensation. His
attention being called to the tritting de-
tails which had been discovered Iately
regarding the movement, of Fitzharrls'
cab in the Park on the day of the muir
der, and which had not been given by
witness, Carey remarked quietly, hnt
with evident 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, tell al
great deal more.
The cross-eXamination of Carey was
very severe and searching, tounn"
for the defense said, in remarking on
the witness testimony, that Carey
hands were stepped in blood. Carey re-
piled quickly: THAT is NOT true.
Sui Sequently, Carey said he was only
telling half what he knew and that he
was more friendly to the counsel for the
defense than the counsel himself was
aware of; for he had told the latter IA
bear in mind that he was not telling
everything he knew against his client
Counsel vehemently protested that it
was his wish To have NJ friendly inter
course with witness and no favor rom
him.
Michael kavanangh, who dove The
ear on which the murderers rode, was
then called to the staud. He Repeated
his former eVidruC" in substantially
The same language. He made a mater
ial amendment to it, however, by say
ing that il was Smith, not Delaney,
whom he drove 10 tn" Scrrr ct the MUIR
der with Carey, His statement made
before was mistake. His testimony
showed that il was Brady who directed
him where TO drive and who de>igna'-
I'd a place for him to wait for the muir
derers on May 9th last.
