DUBIIN, April 10.-The trial of Joe
Brady on the charge of numbering
Cavendish and Burke, was begun this
morning. Notwithstanding the fact
that 1t was known that all absenteea
would be fined e100, many jurors on
the panel failed to appear. The case
for the crown was opened by Porter.
DUBLIN, April 11.-Porter, crown
counsel, in opening, described the
Pho nix park crime as of unparalleled
atrocity--a crime that had shocked
the whole civilized world. He re.
counted with vivid imagery the well
know details Of the affair, paid q
warm tribute to the character and life
of Burke and Cavendish, gave partio.

vincibles who, he said, doubtless look
ed upon themselves as an invincible
band, but the law was stronger than
all those connected with the plot and
looked upon them as guilty In the
eyes of God, as was Brady. He do.
clared the object of the conspiracy
was to "remove" all whom they
regarded as tyrants, probably with the
ultimate purpose of forming q republic,
of which the four original leaders of the
murd.rous gang, Mullet, McCaffrey,
Curley and Carey would be the lead.

share In the crime, his undertaking to
provide arms when there should be a
call for them. Brady and men Of hin
class vera among those always pre-.
pared for murder, but they were with.
out doubt entirely Indifferent as to the
ultimate objects of that murder.
Brady was at hand when the various
ambushes we're laid for Forster.
Counsel for the defense interposed
an earnest protest against the crown
counsel being suffered BY the court to
prejudice the jury against the prisoner,
Brady, by making assertions like
these, which could not be proved.
The judge refused to interfere.
Porter, concluding, declared Carey
would be put upon the witness stand.
There was no absolute rule of law
which would prevent tho court from
accepting his evidence unaccompanied
by any other testimony, but there

even In this case been compelled to
provide means for defending Brady
from this terrible charge.
Ths first witness called WAS Farrell,
the informer, who testified at the pre-.
liminsry examination of the prisoners
In Ktlmainham court house. He
repeated the testimony given at that
time.
During the examination Of Farrell,
counsel for the prisoner again pro-
tested againss the introduction Of
matters foreign to the present charges
relating only to attempts made against
the life OF Forster.
Judge O'Brlen said only such evi.
dence was admissible In the present
case as tended to connect the prisoner
with conspiracy. Farrell's evidence
went to show that Brady was associated
with members of the inner circle and
was secretary to Curley.
James Carey was the uext witness,
and his evidence was the same as be.
