quency with which the witness contradicted
| himself caused much amusement in court
and the spectators appeared to be amused at
his demeanor and effrontery. He declared
that o. 'Donnell fired his revolver with his
left hand, although the other witness stated
it was with the right. The witness finally
admitted he was in doubt on this point
He acknowledged telling Beecher, the sec

Walter Young was here brought into

Carey denied that Young asked him why
he did not kill O'Donnell with his fathers
pistol at the time of the murder and that he

THE MURDERED MANS WIDOW
Mrs. Carey widow of the murdered man,
appeared as witness. She was dressed in
deep morning and spoke in subdued voice.
She repeated the testimony she gave at the
that 0Donnell exclaimed HE was sent to
do it." The cross examination of Mrs. Carey
was very brief and developed nothing new.
Marks testified that he was sitting in an
open hatchway, and saw O'Donnell and
Carey below. The former was very quiet,
but Carey was talking excitedly, as if laying
down the law. Soon after this he heard a
shetland saw O'Donnels hand go down and
then up to fire second shot. He saw no
indication OF violence on the part of Carey,
there was no pistol in Careys hand. He
heard ODonnell tell Mrs. Carey that he could
not help it.
Robert Thomas Cubitt, passenger on the
steamer Knfauns Castle was unaware that
Power was James Carey until they arrived at
Cape Town. He was there shown a supple
ment in the Dublin Weekly Freeman, which
contained portrait of Carey and accounts of
his connection with the Irish Invincibles
He recognized the portrait as that of Power
He showed the portrait to ODonnell, who
remarked, "Pll shoot him." 0Donnell
asked for, and the witness gave him the
portrait.
On Tcross-examination, Cubitt said, when
ODonnell remarked, ELL shoot him, he said
it in pleasant manner and the witness at
tached no importance to the remark at the
time.
legal discussion arose regarding the ad-
mission of a newspaper cutting as evidence.
Mr.. Sullivan said its introduction would in
troduce political element into the trial,
Judge Denman thought it would be danger
Gus. Attorney-general James would not
press the matter.
Police Superintendent MalloD, of Dublin,
identified Carey's pistol as one he gave him
for protection when he left Dublin. He said
Carey was very excitable, desperate, and ut
terly regardless of human life. The prose-
cution closed, and the court adjourned.
ODonnell was calm and composed through
out the days proceedings. Roger A. Pryor
frequently consulted with and made several
suggestions to the prisoners counsel. The
entire proceedings were free from excite
ment,
