O'Donnell's Day FIXED.


LONDON, December 3. -O'DonneIl il 10
be hanged Monday the 18th instant.
THE VERDICT ENDORSED ny THE PRESS.
All Of the morning papers endorse the
verdict I'm the case Of O'Donnell. The
Times says il was impossible for the jury
to arrive ut any other conclusion. The
evidence for the Crown was clear and
abundant. Carey was hated, and was mur-
dered because he was an informer. But
the fact that Carey aided the law in bring
ing other murderers TO justice rendered
his claim to protection by the Government
paramount. Therefore Carey's murder
was crime which outraged justice in no
common degree, and which the law was
bound TO avenge.
The Telegraph says O'Donnel's painful
exhibition OF violence at the end OF the trial
dissipated any doubts, II any existed, con-
corning the motives underlying his savage
act.
The Standard says there can scarcely be
any doubt raised, even in Ireland. con-
corning the justice OF O'Donnel's sem
tence.
