Carey'S SLAYER.

A cablegram from Funchel MADEIRA
of the 18th inst says: The steamer
with ODonnell, the slayer of James
Carey, on board, arrived here to-day.
O'Donnsll is in charge of tive Colonial
detectives. His manner is quiet and
reserved, and there is no sign that he
feels any anxiety for the future. A
correspondent who was permitted to
go on board and converse with O'Don-
nell, found him quietly smoking his
pipe and apparently enjoying such
comforts as are permitted him. He,
however, was perfectly sure that he
would never be hanged. When told
of the manifestations of sympathy for
him and delight of Carey's death ex-
hibited by Irishmen all over the world,
aud particularlvin America, he laugh
ed and said that he had no doubt of it.
He expressed himself as being more
than grateful to the Americans for the
manner in which they upheld him, and
for the light in which they looked
upon the impulses which compelled
him to rid the earth of such a thing
as James Carey He did not care to
make a detailed statement concerning
the circumstances of the deed for
which he was now held prisoner, as
loose words might be brought in evi-
denco against him at his trial
1t was hard thing for man to
talk with two detectives at his elbow
On hearing the news of Marwood's
death O'Donnell smiled. and said that
had Marwood lived he would never
had the pleasure of exhibiting his
CHASTITY skill on him. He iterated
that he would never hang.
Every possible step has been taken
by the officials of Madeira to prevent
surprise. Soldiers patrol the shore,
and all persons communicating with
the ship are closely questioned, and
must show some evidence that they
are to be trusted before being allowed
on board. All strangers are subject
ed to a close inspection, and are asked
as to their business and nationality.
1t is evident that fears are entertained
that a rescue may be attempted, and
unusal precautions have been taken
in order to minimize the chances of
success should such an attempt be
made.
A number of important witnesses
in the case of O'Donnell. who killed
Carey, are already in London Mrs
Carey and family will arrive in a
fortnight. Jenkinson and Gosling,
of the detective department, num-
Der Of Irish detectives, and several
witnesses from America are now here.
The English detectives have just re
turned from America and have in
their possession valuable information
concerning the extent of the Fenian
conspiracy. They ascertained that
the real name of the informer Nor
man is Gibney.
