LONDON, Nov. 30.-The trial Of O'Don'
nell for the murder Of James Carey WA
begun this morning before Judge George
Denman in the old Bailey police court.
Two sheriffs and several aldermen occu'
pied seats upon the bench. The small
court room was crowded and several ladies
were present. No one WAS admitted with
out q ticket. The approaches were
thronged. Charles Russell, A. M. Sulli-
van. Solicitors Guy and Roger A. Pryor
are present as counsel for O'Donnell. Hen
~ James, Attorney-General, and Poland
Andres Swigart appeared for the govern
ment. O'Donnell entered the dock from
the adjoining prison surrounded by OFF,
GERS. He seemed unconcerned. Henry
James opened the case for the govern
ment. He described Carey's departure
from England and the voyage to Cape
Town, and said there was no evidence to
prove that the prisoner embarked on the
steamer Kimpaurs Castle, to kill Carey;
but . new witness, Arbitt, would testify
that at Cape Town he gave the prisoner,
at his urgent request. . rough sketch OF
Carey, and the prisoner remarked upon re-
ceiving it: "Ill shoot him." The Attor-
ney-General repeated tho details OF the
murder Of Carey, and impressed upon the
jury that the act was NOT committed in
self defense, but was Q willful and pro.
meditated murder. He enjoined the jury
not to let any feeling against Carey preju-
dice them in their consideration Of the
case. O'Donnell listened closely to the
address OF the Attorney General. He has
been allowed the use Of tobacco which he
smoked freely in the dock. Jas. Parish,
the steward OF the steamer Melrose Castle,
repeated his evidence given ct the prelim-
mary examination. Two plans Of the cab
in of Melrose Castle are shown, one pre-
pared by the prosecution and the other by
the defense. The witness declared the
one offered by the defense to be incorrect
and the Judge rejected it. Russell cross
examined the witness. When he (O'Don-
NELLY fred the shots at Carey, who stood
leaning against9the corner .of the cabin.
two yards away, Carey might easily have
reached O'Donnell; but he made no ges-
ture to seize him. The witness saw nc
pistol other than O'Donnell's. He did
not see young Carey 60 to his fathers berth,
and only knew it by hearsay. His fathers
pistol was found upon the boy.
In the O'Donnell trial there is much
discussion concerning the correctness oil
the plans Of the cabin, all Of which the
Judge declared faulty. The Judge went
into the witDess-box and asked Parish to
explain the position Of the tables and
seats. The witness said all the plans were
incorrect. O'Donnell appeared to be
greatly interested in this episode,
watching the Judge closely. Charles
Jones, the bostswain of the Mel
rose Castle, testified as at the
examination, that he was almost sure, but
refused to swear that O'Donnell's words
we're: II did not do it," There was q dead
silence when Thomas Carey, son of James
Carey, stepped into the witness box. He
gave his evidence promptly and cody.
The Judge questioned him in regard to his
fathers position when he was shot, and
was assiduous in making notes Of young
Carey's evidence. When the bag and re-
| volver OF James Carey were placed in the
hands Of the witness to identify them, he
weighed the weapon and looked down the
barrel. O'Donnell sc~rutinized young
Carey narrowly when he said he was not
/ positive whether O'Donnell, after the
| shooting, shook hands with Mrs. Carey.
II was sent to do it," he said. He further
testified: Il vent for fathers revolver and
kept it in my pocket because father was
! unable to use it," The crowd outside the
court is increasing, many Of the rougher
| class mingling with it.
