Carey's Slayer tn Court-A Swift Ride Under Guard-He Che1ys Tobacco While Listening to the Evidence.
 LONDON, Nov. 3O.-In anticipation of the trial of Carey's slayer commencing at the Old Bailey to-day, the notorious prisoner was taken from his cell at MiIlbank and placed ir the prison van; where two policemen sat with him holding cooked revolvers in their hands. Another constable rode on the back step, also holding 8 revolver in full view. Two others, similarly armed, rode beside the driver, while six mounted constables with swords drawn took up their position beside the vehicle. On leaving Millbank the caval-
 cade set out at smart trot through West
 minister, where stationary police at once di-
 vertvd the traffic to afford clear way. Pass
 ing Westminster the horses were urged to a
 gaIlop along the Thames embankment and
 then again slowed to 8 trot through New
 bridge street and Ludgate hill to the Old
 Bailey. Here they drove right inside the
 yard gates, which were quickly closed after
 them. ODonnell was then taken into the
 court and provided with seat near
 his counsel. The prisoner appeared un-
 concerned, and chewed tobacco with relish.
 Sir Henry James, the attorney general, and
 MT. Poland appeared for the crown. Charles
 Russell, Q. O., NJ. F., with A. M. Sullivan,
 appeared for O'Donnell. General Pryor was
 present in court and occupied seat with
 Mir. Gay, the prisoners solicitor, and fre-
 sel. The attorney general opened for
 the prosecution with an exhaustive state
 ment of the crime.
 After several witnesses had testified Carey s
 son was called to tho stand and repeated his
 testimony given at Bow street police court
 September 25th, to the effect that O'Donnell
 was sitting when he fired the first shot at his
 father; that his father did not grapple with
 O'DonneII; that after witnessing O'DonnelI
 shoot his father, he ran to the latter's berth
 and obtained his re yoIver, but had not time
 to give it to him before one of the officers
 took it from him. He added that he saw O'DonnelI draw his revolver, him shoot
 at his father and he then ran and fetched
 his fathers pistol. On being cross-examined he admitted his evidence in regard to the movements of Parrish, given before Magis- trste Flowers, was wrong, and several times during the cross examination by A. M. Sulli- van, young Carey became very much con. fused and gave evasive answers.
 MT. Sullivan closely pressed young Carey for answers during which the latter declared that O'Donnell drew his weapon with his left hand, Git will be remembered that O'Don. nell's left hand is peralyzed and was so at the time of the shooting). Young Caery then contradicted his previous evidence to what ODonnell said at the time of the shoot ing, and when questioned closely finally de ciared that he now had forgotten the exact words ODonpeIl used and did not know whether they were q had to do it, and q did do it," as he testified when under examination at Cape Town, or 'I was sent to de it, as he testified before Magistrate Flowers on September 25, and again on Sep tember 29 before the same magistrate Young Carey being further examined declar- ed that he never said that his fathers revolver was gone from the bag, and that he had ne recollection of having met person named Walter Young Mir. Sullivan then beckoned to young Carey, who rose in court ano
 created quite tableau by doing so.
 Mrs. Carey the widow of the murdered informer, was the next witness called She appeared in deep mourning, and excited the
 interest of the spectators in the court room
 Her testimony was repetition of that giver
 before the magistrate September 28. Severa
 other witnesses testified, the prosecution hay ing finished their evidence when the cour | adjourned.
