ton had scarcely subsidized before James
Carey stepped into the witness box. The
surprise among the prisoners was I'M
bounded. Counsel for the prisoners OBJ
iected to question of Murphy, crown
counsel, and alluded to Carey as an in
famous witness. Great excitement fol-
loved. The remark drew sharp rebuke
from the magistrate. Carey's appearance
at the witness table created profound
sensation. He was Kissed by the other
prisoners.
CAREY's EVIDENCE n DETAIL.
Carey spoke in a voice SO low the pris-
oners in the dock cried, 'speak up" He
deposed that he was always treasurer of
the Fenian brotherhood. "The funds" he
said, "were always in bad state" Here
one of the prisoners interposed the re-
mark, because you pocketed them" Wit
ness continued: During his connection
with the society several persons we're tried
by court martial organization. Up to 1879
informers only were tried. Edward Nc
Caffrey was, previous to November, 1881,
a member of the organization. In that
month he brought Walsh to Carey's house.
MAKING HISTORY.
Walsh, who was from the north of Eng
land, told Carey his mission in Dublin
was to make history. The names of four
persons had been submitted to the organiza-
ton in London as capable of leading the
organization in Dublin. Among those
names was his own. Walsh had sworn
him in, each holding knife in his hands.
The oath bound Carey to obey all orders
transmitted to him by the Irish Invincibles
under penalty of death. A few days after
wards Walsh, McCaffrey and James MuHett
told him they were to form board of
directors of the new organization in Dub
lin, of the Invincibles, who were not to ex-
coed $50 members for the whole kingdom,
and to be
SELECTED FROM PICKED FENIANs.
Here there was general laughter by the
prisoners. Witness continued: the Dub
lin branch of the organization was to con-
sist of fifty members, and its object was to
remove all tyrants. James Mullett was
to be chairman. Froster and Earl Cowper
were named among those to be removed
Relative to the further operations of the
Dublin branch, it was to be left to its own
discretion. Walsh gave witness ESQ.,
Burke's name was subsequently mentioned
among themselves. Arrangements were
made for taking a house at Corkhill, close
to Dublin castle, from which
EARL CowPER WAS TO BE SHOT.
Early in December witness went to
Phoenix park with Curley, and there met
Mullet and Walsh, who were watchin the
chief secretary's house. Witness saw
Brothers, Forster and Burke coming out.
Four principals in December selected the
men for work in Dublin. Witness selected
a man named Rinkle, who selected two
men named Leonard and Stephen, the last
named being an American. Mccartney Sc
lected Doyle. A greater number of men
we're selected by Curley and Mullett, the
latter's principal selection being Brady.
By July 1, 1882,
THE INvINCIBLES OF DUBLIN
numbered abou The introduction
of witness to Sheridan occurred in De
cember, 1881. He again met Sheridan in
February, 1882, when their confab
about arms occurred. The prisoners
listened to this testimony with breathess.
attention, hardly exchanging word.
Witnes continued: After Walsh left Dub
lima man called Capt.McCaferty paid wit
ness two sums of e25 and els. Witness
did not know McCaferty, but it was under
stood he was once tried in Dublin. The
society watched days and nights to
MURDER FORSTER.
On one occasion he escaped by waiting
aboard the steamer at Kingstown. They
waited for him until the last railway train
left. Carey said he recollected the Shoot
ing of MacMahon. Previous to that time
an arrangement was made to remove Fors-
ter, at the corner of John street, on his way
to the castle. The car was stationed at
park gate. With himself were Leonard,
MacMahon, Brady, Kelly, Curley
and Martin. He Carey gave
the signal when Forster passed.
Forster's carriage was to be preceded by
Fitzharris' cab, according to the arrange
ment, but the plan failed through the
negligence of watcher called 'Rowles.
Curley reprimanded Rowles and watched
for Forster on his return from the castle,
but this time there was failure on the
part of the signal cab. Carey was de-
tailed on three other occasions on which
THE MURDER OF FORSTER WAS PREVENTED
by the accidental passing of party of
mounted police. He said he (himself) sug-
gested the use of knives and McCafferty
directed them to wind cords around the
handles to strengthen their grip. Frank
Byrne, he SAID, was g member of the land
confederation. His wife bought six knives.
A rifle was strung round her neck under
her cloak. On the second occasion she
brought a similar consignment,
but only four knives. One of these has
been produced in court, as was also the
rife which was intended for use al Cork
hill. McCaferty was succeeded in Dublin
by another person, apparently of author
ity, OF whose name witness was ignorant.
