CAREY AND CAVANAGH ON THE
STAND IN DUBLIN.

Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, was
resumed this morning. James Carey was
again placed on the witness stand and
crOSs-eXamined by the counsel for the de-
| fense, who elected the information that
Carey, when plotting the murder with the
other accused men, was a member of
society which received the sacrament at
stated periods. Carey also said that he
was promised pardon before he deter
mined to give evidence against his fellow
conspirators. A photograph was handed
to Carey, which the witness Immediately
identified as that Of a man known as
''No. -
The witness said that he was one of the
| prime movers in the murder of Burke, but
| he was under compulSiOn during the time
| directly preceding the event. Being
closely interrogated by the counsel on
this point he iibafiy admitted that he
he pointed out Mr.. Burke to the assas-
sins, and urged the murderers to re-
| member that the man clad in a gray suit
was Burke. The witness said that though
| he had for sixteen years been working
! for wages averaging only two pounds per
week, he had in 1882 ninety tenants occu-
| pying his various houses. The counsel for

to the points made by the Crown, that
| Carey drove with his children to the door
| of church, in FitZharris' cab, on
| the 9th of May; that he was the
| first man to suggest that daggers
! be used, and that he afterwards
suggested that the weapons with which
the crime was committed should be put
on exhibition as national relics. The an
swers of the witness to the questions put
him concerning the promises of pardon
were given with much hesitation, and
finally he said that he had been
informed by Mallon, the chief detective,
that if his evidence should be given freely
to the State, and should be confirmed by
that of other witnesses, he and his
brother would be pardOned for their
share in the conspiracy. This statement
caused SOME sensation. His attention being
called to the trifling which had been dis
covered lately, relating to the movements
of FitZharris' cab in the park on the day
of the murder, and which had not been
given by the witness, Carey remarked
quietly, but with evident significance,
that he had so far only answered the
questions put to him by the counsel, and
that he could, If unrestricted and if he
desired, tell great deal more.
The crOss-eXaminatiOn of Carey was
very severe and searching. The counsel
for the defense said, in remarling on the
WllDeSS> testimony. InaI carey 5 n1nuS
were stepped in blood.
Carey said, "That is not true" Sub
sequently Carey said that he was only
telling half of what he knew, and he was
more friendly to the counsel for the de-
fense than the counsel himself was aware
of, for he had told the latter to bear in
mind that he was not telling everything
that he knew against his client.
The counsel vehemently protested that
it was his wish to have no friendly inter-
course with the witness and no favor from
him.
Michael Cavanagh, who drove the car
in which the murderers rode, was then
called to the stand, and repeated his for
mer evidence in substantially the same
language. He made a material amend
ment to 1t, however, by saying that it was
Smith, not Delaney, whom he drove to the
scene of the murder with Carey. The
statement which he made before, he said,
was a mistake. His testimony showed
that it was Brady who directed HIM where
to drive, and designated the place for him
to wait for the murdererS, on MAY 9th last
Joseph Smith, another one of the ac-
cused men who turned infOrmer, repeated
the story of his dOings in Phoenix Park on
May 9th as related by James Carey. At
the preliminary hearing Smith said that
he was sworn in as an Invincible three
weeks before the murders were committed.

which they recognized each other, which
was holding a knife in the palm of his
hand. Daniel Curley had introduced
himself to the witness by means of this
sign.
Other witnesses were called by the
prosecution, among them being Golden,
the Phoenix Park ranger, and the son of
James Carey. The latter depOsed con-
cerning the search for the knives used by
the murderers, the result OF which, he
said, was reported to Brady.
The physicians who examined the bodies
of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke then
gave evidence relative to the nature of
the wounds.
The case for the prosecution was closed
at O'Clock.
The case for the defense was then
opened. The counsel for the defense
spoke for an hour. His argument was in
support fan alibi for the prisoner, James
Mullet.
Another of the prisoners has made
statement to the Crown, on the strength
OF which it is said that he will be ac-
cepted as an approver.
The photographs recognized by Carey
as mo. y were those of lyman.
LONDON, April 12.-Norman, Gal
lagher, Dalton, Wilson, Curtin and
Ansburn, the six men arrested here on
suspicion of being connected with the
dynamite conspiracy, were taken to the |
Bow Street Police Court this morning in a
prison van. The vehicle was driven
slowly, and was accompanied by guard |
of armed police and mounted cOnstables. |
A large crowd followed the prisoners to |
the court house. The whole route ira
versed by the van was lined with police, |
and every precautiOn to prevent a |
rescue was taken. The prisoners APP
peared perfectly calm. The examination |
was adjourned for one week, and they |
were conveyed back to Millbank prison
under the same escort which brought |
them to court.
At the hearing in the Bow Street Court |
to-day of Norman Wilson and the others, !
the prisoners were arraigned before Judge !
lngham. Messrs. Smyth, Gould and Cur |
ney appeared for the defense. 3F. Poland, |
in opening the case for the prosecution, |
declared that there was no doubt in view |
of the evidence obtained by the authorities !
that cOnspiracies existed IN America, the |
purpose of which was the destruction
of public buildings in this country; that |
the factor invoked by the cOnspirators !
to that end was dynamite; that some of |
the men on trial in court had come from |
the United States for the purpose of put |
ting their schemes into operation; that |
they had furnished means and men to es- |
tablish the recently discovered dynamite |

Gallagher, Wilson, and Norman had |
visited the manufacturer Whitehead, |
at his place in birmingham, with |
the purpose of sending to London supply |
of his explosives.
Mr.. Poland said that he proposed to |
show that Norman and Wilson had re-
peatedly communicated with Gallagher. !

visited Gallagher, saying to the latter
that his tutor had telegraphed him on |
the Sd of April: II am sorry that / can

VIII see you Tomorrow 1t was known |
that Wilson went to Birmingham with an
empty pOrtmanteau and returned with
nitrO-glycerine in it. NOrman's state
ment in regard to his having been engaged
by gentleman from the United States as
clerk, was tissue of false
hoods. To show that Gallagher
was really the dispenser of the funds
of the society, Mr.. Poland pointed out
the fact that he had in his possession
when arrested els in English notes
stamped by a New York firm in the same
way in which the money taken from Nor
mans person was stamped. 1t was clear,
therefore, that he was one of the principal
cOnspirators, and not an innocent !
clerk or even dtfpe who had
been imposed ON by sharp
rascals. Gallagher himself brought the
sinews of war from the United States.
Gallagher himself communicated with all
the subordinate conspiratOrs. Curtin, on
his arrival in London, had reported him.
