DUBLIN, May 2.-Patrick Delaney and
Thomas Caffrey, two more of the men
charged with participation in the murders
of Cavendish and Burke, were arraigned
for trial this morning. They created
sensation In the court room by pleading
guilty to the charge against them. Both
of them were sentenced to be hanged on
the I'd of June. Before Caffrey pleaded
guilty, he was informed by his solicitors
that the crown gave no hopes of a mitiga-
ton of the sentence of death, which would
be passed upon them. When Delaney was
called upon to plead, he said: II am guilty
of being in the park at the time Lord
Frederick Cavendlsh and Mr.. Burke were
killed, but I did not commit the murder;
plead guilty" The judge explained to
him that this really amounted to a plea
of innocence. Delaney then formally
pleaded guilty. He said: Il was brought
irto this at first, foolishly, not knowing
what it was. was forcedifrom my work to

The only way to escape the task was by
calling the guards attention. Judge

said he had duty to perform. He had at
a previous trial of the prisoner for at

him because he showed some feeling for his
wife and family. The prisoners would see
to what misery they had been brought by
the wicked system of conspiracy. When
Caffrey was again placed in the dock his
face wore a smile. The consequence of
pleading guilty was again fully explained
to him in open court, but he persisted in
! his plea. On being asked if he had any
thing to say why sentence should not be
passed upon him, Caffrey replied in loud,
clear voice: GAIL have got to say, stand
