Dublin Conspirators.
EIGHT PRISONERS CHARGED WITH
THE PHGNIX PARK TRAGEDY.

OobLlN L on. o.--1He lnVestlgatlon OIL the
cnafges against the persons implicated in the
alleged conspiracy to murder government off
1als was resumed today. The court house was
again densely crowded The general audience
largely consisted of lords, high officials, col
lege professors and professional men, showing
with what careful discrimination tickets of ad-
mission had been issued. Before the magis-
trates took their seats Michael Kavanagh. the
carman, was msrched into the prisoners dock
between two policemen This new departure
caused much speculation. The prisoner has a
low retreatiDg forehead and a sinister appear
ance He looked anxious and nervous
A little girl named Ellen Brophy identified
Kavanagh as the driver of the car which con-
tanned the men who intended to assassinate
Mr.. Field, the juryman.
Besides Kavanagh, Joseph Brady and Tim
othy Kelly were also arraigned in connection
with the attempt to murder Mr.. Field 1t is
expected that the evidence elected today will
prove that james Carey, the member OF the
Dublin corporation, rented several houses in
which the constant drilling of men occurred
and also that in one of the houses a perfect
military arsenal was discovered including
hand grenades.
After the hearing of the evidence against
the prisoners accused of the attempt to kill
Mr.. Field, the two Careys, the two Mullets
Whelan, Brady, Kelly and Kavanagh were
charged with the murder of Lord Frederick
Cavendish and Mr. Burke.
The reason that the investigation of the at
authorities wish to complete the evidence to-
day and then ask that the prisoners be re-
manded. The Identification of Kavanagh by
the little girl Ella Brophy was particularly
complete. She says she spoke TO him and
asked for whom he was waiting. She saw him
when going on messages three time in half an
hour. Immediately alter her return the third
time she heard cries of murder and Immediate
ly ran TO the door. By that time there were
two men beside the driver on the car. The
N uyac of M Min hn .lxr
able to identify Kavanagh. She was severely
cross-examined but never faltered in her testi-
mony. When Kavanagh was identified he
bluShed and smiled uneasily. When he en-
tered the dock he had swaggering manner.
Kelley was pale but defiant looking. James
Mullet laughed when the charge concerning
the Phoenix Park murder was made. but none
of his companions joined him. Much time was
occupied in proving the letting of large room
in Peter street to james Carey, ostensiby as a
reading room but really for drilling men. He
left the room in October, 1879.
William Winter was examined to prove the
letting of Temperance Hall in Cuffe street to
Patrick Whelan for drilling purposes, but
failed to identify the prisoner in the dock.
Witness named Clinton who let the room on
Peter street, used as a drill room, and identi-
fed Brady as well as James Carey as having
been present at the meetings there. The pris-
oners were remanded until Saturday next.
The first sensation OF the day was caused by
