DUBLIN. Feb. 1.-THE hearing of the
prisoners charged with conspiracy to muir
der government officials was resumed to-
day. All the prisoners were placed in the
dock except Patrick Delaney. The sensa-
ton had scarcely subsided before James
Carey stepped into the witness box. The
surprise among the prisoners was un-
bounded. Counsel for the prisoners oh
iected to a question of Murphy, crown
counsel, ard alluded to Carey as an in
famous witness. Great excitement fol-
lowed. The remark drew sharp rebuke
from the magistrate. Carey's appearance
at the witness table created profound
sensation. He was hissed by the other
prisoners.
CAREY's EVIDENCE IN DETAIL.
Carey spoke in voica so low the pris-
oners in The dock cried, ''speak up" He
depo5ed that he was always treasurer of
the Fenian brotherhood. ''The funds" he
said, "were always in a 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 were tried
by court martial organization. Up to 1873
informers only were tried. Edward Nc
Caifrey was, previous to November, 1881,
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-
tion 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 Muilett
told him they were TO form a board OF
directors Of the new organization IN Dub
lin, Of the Invincibles, who we're not TO ex-
ceed 25O members for the whole kingdom,
and to be

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

Dublin branch, it was to be left to its own
discretion. Walsh gave witness $50

among themselves. Arrangements were
made for taking house at Corkhill, close
to Dublin castle, from which

numbered about thirty. The introduction
of witness to Sheridan occurred in De
cember, 1881. He again met Sheridan il
February, 1882, when their confat
about arms occurred. The prisoners
listened to this testimony with breathless
attention, hardly exchanging a word.

On one occasion he escaped by waiting
aboard the steamer at Kingstown. They
waited for him until the last railway trail
