DUBLIN, Nov. 20.-At the trial o-day of
Joseph Poole for the marder of John Ken
ney, VIM. Klie, brother in-law of the
prisoner and informer, repeated his for
mer evidence. He believed at the time OF
the murder Kenney had been an lnformer,
but was now of the opinion that revenge
for the seduction of girl caused the muir
der. Francis Geoghan testified that he
lived in the same room with Poole on the
night Kenney was murdered. He heard
the prisoner come into the room and
whis per to his fellow lodger that
Ksnney would tell no more. Mrs. Brady,
proprietrass of the lodging house deposed
hearing voice in her house on the night
of the murder, This finished the case for
prosecution. DR.. Webb, counsel for Poole
addressed the jury, arguing there was no
evidence to bring home the guilt. After
instructions from the court the jury retired
and in about forty minutes returned with
verdict of guilty as indicted.
The court pronounced sentence of death
upon the prisoner Poole. In an address
to the court he admittedathst he was Fe-
MAN. He cursed England and called for
three cheers for the Irish republic.
Before he was sentenced Poole spoke at
length in an earnest, and at times, in an
excited tone. He emphaticalIy denied that
he murdered Kinney, but admitted he was
member of the Fenian brotherhood, and
says he would be proud to go to the scat
fold for being a member of it. Its object
was not to commit murder, but to free
Ireland from the tyrannical rule of Eng
land. He believed he was prosecuted be-
cause he was the enemy of the government
under which he had the misfortune to live.
He admitted being in Kinney's company
the night of the murder, but declared he
had no hand in striking him down. I'll had
belonged to the brotherhood since he was
eighteen years of age but had never be-
longed to the vigilance committee. His
purpose was to wait until his countrymen
were prepared to strike blow for indie
pendencs, when he would cooperate with
them. Il am not afraid 20 die. Farewell
all, farewell Ireland. Three cheers for the
Irish republic, and to hell with English
tyranny"
Poole will be hanged on Dec. Is. The
The judge IN passing sentence upon the
prisoner was deeply affected. He said the
evidence left the jury no alternative and
he quite concurred III the verdict Of guilty.
Pooie's father wept aloud, exclaimipg,
''Oh, Joe, joe" The prisoner replied,
falteriDgly. Keep up, father, keep, up,
don't give way; am ready to die"
