quently resorted to or invented,
especially by women, when its
production would assist their friends. Re-
viewing briefly the evidence of Kennedy
and Little, he dwelt upon the evident de-
sire of the latter to make time at which
he saw Brady fit in as being before 8
o'clock p. N. The testimony of this wit
ness was open to the same comment as
that Of the other witnesses for the defense,
namely, he was declaring it to have &C.
CURED one day, while it actually happened
another day.
Passing to the evidence of the informers
the judge said although Carey had every
conceivable motive and inducement to give
in his evidence statements to save his own
person, he told straightforward story,
and one which did not spare himself. The
jury were exhorted to consider,
however, if he had been de-
tected swearing falsely, the crown would
be justified in proceeding against him the
same as against the other prisoners. The
same general rule was applied to all in
formers. There was no evidence to sup
port the suggestion made in his speech by
Counsel Adams that the persons present
in the I ark as principals were now all safe
in France or the United States. The re
verse was the case. The evidence went to
show these men who we're in the park with
the object of murder were the Invincibles.
although some persons cognizant of the
plan and not there, might not have been
members of that brotherhood.
In concluding his charge, he asked the
Jury to dwell on the evidence with that
solemn consideration into points which
was due, and decide whether any reason
able doubt existed as to the guilt of the &C
cused. In making up their verdict they
should set aside all prejudice, all weakness
that frequently influences our judgment
and bases our words. He expressed the
hope that they would be influenced by di-
vine inspiration.
The jury then retired They did not re-
main long away, for after about forty
minutes they sent word that they had
reached an agreement, and being sum-
moned back to their benches announced,
amidst breathless silence in the court,
that Joseph Brady was guilty of N murder.
The Judge finished his charge at 3:13, and
verdict of the jury was rendered at $3.50.
When the verdict was read, a deep, but
suppressed murmur went round the court
room, and Brady, who up to this time had
been singularly composed and free from
emotion, turned ashen pale. Dr.. Webb
started up to make a motion, and after
complete silence had been restored and
before the judge pronounced the sentence
of death, he said in an impressive voice;
Il desire to move for an arrest of judg-
ment." He alleged that under the crimes
act, the jury which heard the case and had
just given in its verdict, was not legally
formed. That the prisoner had not re-
ceived notice he was being tried by a
special jury.
The motion was denied by Judge
OBrien, who now said to the prisoner:
''Have you anything to say why sentence of
death should not now be pronounced upon
your"
Brady responded in a loud, clear and
firm voice: 1 am not guilty of the charge
which the informers have sworn on me.
These men would swear away the life of
any one to save their own.''
The sentence was then pronounced, that
on the 18th of May next Joseph Brady be
hanged. After the sentence, Brady, who
had recovered his composure, rose in his
seat and with solemn vehemence protested
his innocence of the crimes. After making
last disclaimer he was hurried from the
court room by the officer. In the streets
the announcement of the verdict had been
received with the utmost disfavor and con-
demnation. Great crowds had waited i'm
patiently about the doors of the tribunal
until the conclusion of the trial, and now
were packed still closer about the building
in hopes of getting a sight of the con-
demned man as he was taken to jail.
