ANOTHER WITNESS ON THE STAND
THE PRISONERS ALL COMMITTED
GREAT BRITAIN.


A correspondent Of the Times from Dub
lin says there Is little doubt the authorities
will be able to connect the conspiracy with
ribaldism as well as with Fenian-
ism. The Times says: The suspi-
cions raised by the evidence given by Carey
on Saturday can only be allayed by
a thorough disclosure of the accounts
of the land league subject to independent
audit. Until this is done the league will
be under suspicion of maintaining secret
relations with criminal conspiracies of the
foulest type. The Times asks what is to
be thought of the offer of Parnell to place
the influence of Davitt, Egan, Sheridan
and Boyton at the disposal of the govern
ment for the restoration of order in Ire
land, or of the craftsmanship
which in spite of the warnings
of those best acquainted with Ireland,
leaped at Parnelrs conditions for peace.
DUBLIN, Feb. 19.-Twenty- -one of the
prisoners have been committed for trial
to answer the charge of the murder of
Lord Cavendish and Burke. Jas. Smith
has turned informer. Patrick Whelan has
been liberated on bail.
The hearing of the prisoners charged
with conspiracy to murder government
officials, was resumed to-day. All the
prisoners were again placed in the dock
Amid Kisses one of the prisoners shouted
''the future Lord Mayor Carey" The
latter shook his head meaningly at
his former comrades. His ex
animation was then resumed. He spoke
more confidently than he did Saturday,
and replied to the cross examination of
counsel sharply and testify. He deposed
amid Kisses by the prisoners that he be-
longed to the Fenians, but not to the su-
preme council. The object of the Fenians
was to separate Ireland from England, the
former country being then harrassed by
coercion. He had no idea that Lord Cav
endish was to be murdered when Burke
was attacked. He was stupefed when he
heard of the formers murder.
Cross-examined, Carey said he gave in
formation regarding the murder two days
ago. Whatever any body else did, he was
the last person to do. He said he decided
to give evidence directly after ne was ar
rested, though he did not do so until
Thursday.
Carey, re-examined by Murphy, crown
counsel, said that after the publication of
the article in the Freemdn'S Journal stat
ing that all officials were to be removed
from the castle, the murder of Burke was
decided upon.
In the event of the inquiry concluding
to-day it is understood the prisoners will
be returned for trial before a special COM
mission of three judges. This course will
be necessary as the process, each having
the right to challenge twenty jurymen,
j IL
ments are already being made at Green
street court house for the trial. Carey
stated he did not see Geo. Smith in Phoenix
park on the 5th or 9th Of May. The per-
son who pointed out Burke was Joe Smith.
Patrick Whelan was not in the dock
to-day when tarey's deposition was read.
He corrected it il several particulars, and
modified the statement concerning Mrs.
Byrne by saying he had been
told she was the wife of Frank
Byrne He also corrected the statement
that Jas. Mullett was in his company when
he and Curley met No. L. Counsel for
the prisoners objected to the alterations,
saying Carey had discovered
from the newspapers that Mullett
was in prison at the time of the alleged
meeting. The magistrate allowed the OBJ
lection, and the deposition was ordered to
stand so as to show the discrepancy. Ma
rines are guarding the house of Mrs.
Carey, wife Of James Carey. Itisb sbelieved
when she saw her husbands case was hope
less, she told the authorities of the evil
dence he was able to give. It is known
that she often visited the castle.
The prisoners committed for trial in
clude all that were under examination, ex-
cept Whelan. The public present in court
to-day joined in kissing Carey. The only
remarkable feature so far is the callous-
ness of Carey while under examination.
After the reading of Carey's deposition,
man named Neil deposed to seeing a cab
in the park on the day of the murder, and
he identified Fitzharris as the driver. A
laborer named Murray gave similar evi-
dence. The four occupants of the car used
by the assassins have been placed in front
of the dock for identification
by Golden, the park ranger.
AS Carey passed the dock James Mulett
struck at him and succeeding in touching
his head, Carey turned to expostulate, but
was pushed to the witness stand by de-
tectiye. After the prisoners had been
committed the crown counsel stated that
Joseph Smith would be examined at the
trial.
The article in the FreeMon's Journal re-
ferred to by Carey in his testimony to-day,
spoke of the desirability of thorough
change of officials at the castle, which was
an Augean stable. Carey left the court at
the door furthest from the dock.
Golden identified Thos. Cafrey as fourth
man in the car containing the murderers
when it was driven from the park, and
produced copy of the Freeman'S Journal
to confirm his statement in regard to the
determination of the conspirators to
murder Burke. His action created sensa-
tion. 1t is expected the prisoners will be
tried in March. Murphy stated he hoped
to be able to produce the man known as
number one" The prisoners were
remanded for formal COM
initial tomorrow. Murphy, crown
counsel, after the committal of the pris-
oners, said it was with great reluctance
that the committee had accepted the evi-
dence of prisoner who might have been
