There was painful pause when the witnes.
fltzslmmons was called. The prisoners in the
meantime shook hands with each other and
loked among themselves nodding to theil
friends. The clerk of the court then read the
charge against the prisoners that they did on
the sixth of May last feloniously kill and slay
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Thomas Henry
burKe. The reading OF the charge was greet.
Cd Dy the prisoners with burst of loud laugh.
ter which created painful sensation in court
Fltzsimmons continued his testimony. The
rifle and two knives were found among lot Of
rubbish. They were not much concealed. A
fortnight afterwards he went to the police and
delivered the knives and rifle.
Amid intense excitmeDt Inspector Smith
produced two long bladed dissecting knives,
evidently as sharp as raZors and Snyder rifle
which is quite new. The knives were eagerly
examined by the magistrates. While this was
proceeding there was just shade Of uneasiness
visible in the manner of the prisoners.
In support of the evidence against Cary DR..
Porter, surgeon to the Queen, deposed that the
cuts In the clothes and wounds of Cavendish
and Burke were infic'ed by instruments SINH
lar to those produced in court
ha of VI.
director Of the Irish criminal investigation de-
partment and Mr.. Harrel, chief commissioner
OF the Dublin police, were among those present
in court.
The witness Fitzsimmons depesed that Cary
sometimes visited the loft where the knives
were found.
A chairmaker, named Hands identified
OBrlen as one OF four men lying near to the
scene OF the murder and Brady of being close
by shortly before it was perpetrated.
DR.. Myers deposed that some of the wounds
OF Cavendish and of Burke corresponded ex-
actly to the knives produced.
DIR Porter added that there were also
wounds which might have been caused by
weapons of different construction from the
knives produced, but there was nothing char
acteristic about them. One wound was a COM
pound fracture of the left forearm of Lord
Frederick Cavendish which might have been
caused by any knife.
There was long discussion between Murphy
and ebb, the prisoners counsel, the latter
contending that witness FitZsimmons had not
definitely recognized Peter Gary when asked
ii he knew him. The magistrates, however,
ruled that the identification was complete.
A female witness confirmed the evidence of
witness Hands, Hands idt ntifed Brady as
driver OF the Car on which the Phoenix Park
assassins rode. Upon his Identifying O'Brien,
the latter attempted TO smile, but soon after
wards broke into a profuse persDiration.
Inspector Smith was next examined. He
said the rifles and knives were concealed be-
tween the ceiling and Stats of the house in
which they were found
The evidence of DR.. Porter was followed
with most extraordinary interest. The prison.
ers leaned over the dock, apparently drinking
in every word. DR.. Porter said the wounds
that transiixed Burke's heart enabled him to
judge OF the length of the weapon which must
have been nine or ten inches long,.
Hands, unlike the other witnesses, was se-
verely cross-examined by the counsel for the
prisoners. When he had left the stand, the
female witness, who is his wife, was called.
The prisoners, during the opening of her ex-
animation, quietly shifted their places in the
dock. Upon her turning to identity them
ShoIo was some controversy as to vhether they
ought not to resume the order of their standing
in which OBrlen and Brady had been identi-
fed by Mr.. Hand. Mrs. Hand, however easily
fdeutified them.
George Golden, an old park ranger. said at
9.2O O'Clock on the night of the 9th of Nav, a
car with i've men, driving furiously, passed
within ten feet OF him az Chapelozod gate, and
he identified Brady as sitting on the side This
was felt to be strong evidence.
The excitement in the court room increased
as the carefully woven chain was unfolded
The prisoners at the close of Godden's testi-
mony relapsed into their passive attitude of at
tention, Brady alone occasionally smiling and
whispering to his companions.
Cameron, city analyst, deposed to some stains
OF mammalian blood on one of the knives.
Powell, son of small farmer, identified
Brady and McCaffry as lurking under the trees
OF the park on the evening OF the murder.
As each prisoner was identified, there we're
loud exclamations in the court room, and the
magistrate threatened TO have it 3cleared.
4 Powell further deposed that after passing the
men he met Burke driving on the main road
in car. There was considerable commotion
when all the prisoners were placed in the dock
and remanded until Mouday
