to Cough monument, and there they got
down. They said there was no sign Of

cali me nicknames." Before the prisoners
were charged to-day, counsel for George
Smith, one OF the accused copspirators,
made application for the admission of his
client to bail, which was refused. Kavan-
augh resumed; he deposed as follows: Af.er
the prisoners had said there was no sign
Of Fl, zharris, witness saw him with cab
coming from the opposite direction, and
saw four men alight from the cab. The
cab stood long way up the road, with
Che horses head turned toward Dublin. A
short time after he saw two gentlemen APP
preaching, and heard . cry; on looking
around he saw one gentleman fall; he did
not see the others face, but the four men
whom he saw drive to the park, jumped on
the car and drove away. Brady sat on the
right side Of the car. Kayanaugh identified
Fitzharris as the driver of the CAB. He de-
posed he saw Lord Cavepdish ana Burke
approaching. Some one among them he
drove said the tall man was TO be assassin
ated. Kavanaugh said he subsequently
drove by Chapelside round town to Palmers-
ton Park. Kelly alighted at the terminus.
. Brady paid him. Kavanaugh, continuing
his testimony, said after the men the witness
drove to the park had alighted there, he put
a nose bag on his horse while waiting. He
said the person who spoke to James O'Brien,
Delaney, afterwards instructed him (KavaD-
augh) to look sharp and be ready to start.
Upon this he drove nearer to the waiting
group which included some persons he did
not know.
He knew two gentlemen of note. Lord
Cavendish and Burke we're approaching,
arm In arm. James Carey and Delaney,
who had come back TO the car from the
place where they were waiting, jumped
down and joined the group. Witness heard
some one say, alt is the tall man." Kavan-
augh was then ordered to 60 further away
by some one Of the conspirators; As he did
so, witLess heard some one, he could not say
who, repeat, "Mlnd, II is the tall man." As
the gentlemen came along, either Carey OF
Delaney waved white handkerchief. While
waiting, the carman nicknamed Now, passed
him, driving passenger named Nolan to-
ward Dublin. He was also passed by some
bicyclists. Witness said on looking around
he thought he saw only one gentleman fall,
and saw the other, who bad an umbrella,
was lying on the ground. On driving from
the scene Of the murder, they took turn to
the left, then crossing a bridge to the right
along Inchscore road. Delaney directed him
where to drive; he drove rapidly until he
reached place round town three miles from
the park. Here Tim Kelley alighted. He
then drove around to Lees In the park
stopping at public house near Lee bridge
Brady then paid and discharged him. On
Sunday morning he met Brady again a,
Townsend street and received &c. Brady
afterwards bought him harness. He allowed
the.car to remain as II was for some time
afterwards, then had 1t painted. On the
night Field was attacked, he was on College
street stand: James Brady again engaged
him: They drove cut to Fleet street. De
laney then got of and they drove to Har
wick street, where they alighted. While
waiting, Kelly and Lawrence Haulan came
UP.
Kavanaugh's evidence makes It certain
that Burke was first murdered and that the
plot was principally against him.
