The Hanging Of Joe Brady.

DUBLIN, May IA.
Joe Brady, the first &C Invincible'' con-
victed of participation in the Phoenix Park
butchery, was hanged here this morning.
There was 10 disturbance.
Reporters were denied admission, the
Irish Executive and British Home Secre-
tary having sternly resolved that none but
officials should witness the execution.
1t was sought to make the cul-
prit's fate mysterious and ignominious,
and to cast all possible obloquy upon his
memory. Despite the "Castle's" deter
mination to Danish the glamor of martyr
dom from the execution, it was said that
the Catholic churches throughout Ireland
were to commence the celebration of masses
for the repose of the dead mans soul at the
hour set for his departure from this
world. The people of Dublin were
to abandon to-day their usual
Whitmonday excursions and festivi-
ties, and to put off the moods of pleas
ure for the garb of mourning. The mem
bers of Brady's family paid their last visit
to Brady Saturday morning. He bore up
bravely against the ordeal of parting with
those near and dear to him, and appeared
calm and cheerful The Catholic Chaplain
of the prison was with him all day yester-
day, and expressed establishment at the firm
ness with which he had prepared to meet
his doom. His body was buried in a secret
spot within the prison.
THE PHOENIX PARK SLAUGHTER.
On the evening of the 9th of May, 1882,
5,r;al i
for Ireland, and Thomas Henry Burke,
under Secretary, were assaSsinated in PhG-
nix Park, in Dublin, Ireland. The day had
been gala one in the city, as it had been
devoted to giving hearty, and it was sup
posed cordial greeting to Earl Spencer, the
new Lord Lieutenant, and Lord Cavendish,
the new Chief Secretary for Ireland.
At $50 in the evening, while walking
through Phoenix Park together, Lord Caven-
dish and Secretary Burke were met by
common hack-car containing four men and
driver. The four men at once left the car
and attacked Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke
with knives, and in few seconds time,
having completed the murder Of both.
they re-entered the car and rode rap
idly away. Lord Cavendish was
stabbed through the right lung, again in
the neck and side, and his right arm was
broken and badly lacerated in attempting to
ward off the murderous blows of his assail-
ant. Mr.. Burke had his throat cut, and was
stabbed through the heart and upon the left
side of the neck. The perpetrators Of the
crime escaped, and for nearly year the
secrecy with which the affair was managed
completely baff1ed the Crown detectives in
their efforts to bring the criminals to merited
justice.
On the 10th of January the authorities of
Dublin, acting upon the information that
there existed secret organization in that
city, the purpose of which was the whole
sale assassination of the more active menu
hers of the Dublin police force, arrested
seventeen persons, mostly artisans, under
the Crimes act. Among those was James
Carey.
Carey, in order to save his own neck,
turned infomer, and on his evidence and
that of Kavanagh, the driver of the car
which conveyed the murderer to the park,
Brady was convicted, Carey swearing that
he saw Brady plunge dagger into Under
Secretary Burke's body. The defense tried
to establish an alibi, but failed. On the
18th of April the case was given to the jury,
which, in forty minutes, returned with a
verdict of guilty. A motion was made for
arrest Of Judgment, but was denied by
Judge O'Brien, who then sentenced the
prisoner to be hanged on the 14th day OF
