the director and instigator of the tragedy.
1t had been done, however, in the interest
| of public safety and the public's good.
he trusted the executive had thereby OBJ
tanned power to perfectly penetrate this
fearful organization, and hoped to make
amenable to justice the plotters as we'll as
the perpetrators of the murder.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-In the house of com
mons this afternoon Sir Herbert Maxwell,
conservative, asked whether P. j. Shendon,
alluded to by Carey in his testimony on
Saturday, was the man who was connected
with the Kilmainham treaty negotiations.
Trevelyon, chief secretary for Ireland, an
swered yes. Lord Randolph Churchill
gave notice on behalf of the government
that, in view of the confession of the as
sassins in Ireland, he would move an
amendment to the address in answer to
the speech from the throne that no further
concessions be made to lawless agitation.
1t is expected an adjournment of the
house of commons will be moved tonight
in order to discuss the Irish conspiracy in
connection with the question of Kennard
in regard to the Kilmainham treaty.
1t is stated that Frank Byrne, who, ac-
cording to Jas. Carey's testimony in Dub
lin, sent arms from London for the MUIR
der of officials, has been the home ruler
organizer in London for nine years.
The Press association says there is rea-
son to believe there is no doubt whatever
concerning the name and identity of the
man referred to by James Carey in his tes-
timony Saturday as No II 1t is be-
lieved he is concealed i'll London, where he
10 60.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-Frank Byrne, residing
at Cannes, is the man mentioned by Carey.
The French police were communicated
with to prevent his escaping into Spain.
1t is thought probable that he will return
Immediately to London and give the au-
thorities an opportunity to arrest him if
they so desire. If not arrested he will as
sist in his wifes defense. She is a con-
sumptive. Thomas Brennan was in Lon
don recently. On Friday last he stated
that the name ''Number 1" is Oliver Walsh,
who is at Cannes.
Justin Mccarthy said Sheri-
dan was known to Parnell mere
ly as an active league
organizer and his relations with Parnell
were only in this capacity, the latter
knowing nothing of his character. Frank
Byrne, Mccarthy said, is man in constant |
i'll health. He held position in the land |
confederation ever since the time of Butt !
and Shaw. He was known to all the mem
bers of the Irish party as quiet, respect
able man. Mc( arthy said he had spoken
TO many members. and all agreed it
was inconceivabe, that Byrne could |
have anything to do with the murders.
His last act before going to France was to
refuse testimonial which his friends had |
raised on account of his feeble health. He
said he could not accept anything while
his country was in its present miserable
state. The only time that Byrne was left
any discretion was while Parnell was i'm
prisoned. But it was hardly conceivable
that he then listened to any advances on
the part of fanatics.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-It is reported that
Byrne and a number of others will be ar
rested, including the manager of the land
league funds. The names of six promi-
nent politicians are mentioned. It is ru
nored that P. J. Sheridan has been ar
rested. 1t isSunderstood that the govern
nent knows mo. l" was born in The East
indies. His mother was French; his |,
father Irish. He was a captain in the
British East India service, and afterwards
joined thes French army and became a
colonel during the ranco-German war.
Towards the close of the war he came to
ireland with letters from Bonapartists,
MS object being to raise force which he
enlisted ostenslbly for ambulance service.
He served principally under General
Bouerbak.
DUBLIN, Feb. 19.-The Freeman's Journal
says: The mystery of the Phoenix park
murders is only half unfolded. We must
await the denouement before expressing
verdict. The prospect now is that the
mystery will be sounded to the very bot
tom. Number l." if he exists, will find
his way to the gallows, which is the prayer
of every honest man.
