ARCHBISHOP COOKE

ARCHB1SiiOr COOKE,
Dublin, December l.--Archbishop
Cooke, receiving addresses of welcome
at Waterford yesterday, said after what
had teen achieved In parliament I'M
der. their great leader, he had no doubt
II fhe people persevere9 In Intercourse,
avoided crime and refused 10 al
low themselves To he transported To
Canada, good deal would he achieved
within q measurably brief period OF
time. The present generation might
/ yet live to see the Old Land clothed In
| the garb of freedom under the Irish
I flag.
Russell said although no witness
saw the pistol ia Carey's hand, yet It
WAS quite likely u pistol was drawn,
but owing 10 the uncertain light In the
cabin and the excitement of the mo.
ment II escaped observation. He sub.
mitted that the boy Carey picked up
the revolver when his father fell, and
kept IL for the purpose OF shooting
O'Donnell IL he got chance, or for the
purpose of cOnccaling II In order to
make IL appear that O'Donnell COM
mittod AN unprovoked murder. Rus
sell, after insisting upon the crodibility
of the testlmoncy of the cab driver,
made an eloquent appeal to the Jury
for AN unprcjudiced and calm consider
alton of the case. IL they were drawn
inesistibly TO the conclusion that the
prisoner was guilty, they would con-
Wet, but If they felt there were inn
portant parts OF the evidence which
crumblod when they attempted to
stand upon them, then whatever sus-
picions they might have they would
give the prisoner the benefit of the
doubt. IL was better that q guilty
persoH should sometimes escape than
an innocent one suffer. Russell
spoke four hours, and at the conclii-
sion was loudly applaudtd. The judge
stcrnly repressed the applause.
Acknowledgement James closed the
case for the government. He said so
much had been said To blackcn Caley's
character that people might believe II
was right to kill him. The jury had
nothing 10 do with this. The question
for them to consider was, did the
prisoner wilfully murder him? The
sworn facts left no doubt ms 10 that.
The prisoner never pleaded selt-deience
until he saw his solicitor at Port Eliza
beth, and there was no little Of evil
donce TO support the theory
of n struggle or quar-
rel. The prisoners counsel
had told the jury the story which
O'Donnell had told somebody else. II
was theory unsupported by evidence.
The attorney general denied that
O'DUnnell had Stunned Carey. He
invited him To drink shortly before
he shot him. The woman with
O'Donnell In the steamer knew all
about the shooting. II is strange she
was not called ~ "A witness. II she
was o. Donnell's wife, she could not
testify; If she wns his mistress, why
were the prisoners counsel afraid to
call her?
Sullivan, of counsel for 0'Donncll,
objected 10 the remarks OF the atior-
uey-general, aud said the woman Ind
been alluded to in the evidence
AS Mrs. O'Donnell, aud the attorney
general had 10 right TO throw s,ls-
picion on her.
Judge Denman said he considered
the attorney-general's remarks quite
fair.
The Encouragement continued,
saving IL was evident she was not
called because she could only coIrob-
crate the other witnesses. At Port

longer in danger Of his life. so, how
did young Carey get the pistol which
o Donnell snatched from his father
That statement was 80 absurd
TINT another one was made
to-day inconsistent with the former
aud equally incredible. IL should
compel the jury TO believe that young
Carey was guilty Of perjury, and WAS
50 precocious rs TO conceal pistol In
order 10 fasten crime upon the pris-
oner. The attorney-general said he
thought that Mrs. O'Donnells remark,
"Never mind. O'DoDDell, you are no
informer,n showed what happened.
she snw O'Donnell shoot Carey, aud
thought the crime nothing compared
with the oiiense of being AN iniorner.
The theory of selfdefense. said the at
WIS untcnDble; The
prisoner shot Carey deliberately and
openly because lac believed IL 10 be n
praiscworthy act, aud he wished to
enjoy all the notoriety
that would attach 10 II.
History was full Of instances of men
seeking such glory. The jury, he
knew, would be superior to any bias,
aud pronounce upon the facts OF the
case. The encouragement occupied
an hour and half.
Russell urged the jury To free their
minds Of all they have read upon The
subject Of the killing OF Carey. The
prisoner did not deny shooting Carey.
The question for consideration OF the
Jury was did he do IL under reasona-
blc apprehension of his liieW II so.
they should acquit him. IL, short OF
this, O'Donnell acted only. under a
threat of personal violence, they could
not convict him of murder, although,
