BRADT's TRIAL.

Beginning of the Csse Against Brady,
Charged With the Killing OF Cayendish
ard burke.
DUBLIN, April II. The trial Of Joe Brady,
on the charge of numbering Cavendish and
Burke. began this morning. Notwithstand-
ing the fact it was known that all absentees
would be fined f1O0, many Jurors on the
panel failed to appear. The case for the
Crown was opened by Mr.. Porter. He point
ed out to the Jury that the duty they were
called upon TO perform was one of the most
serious that could fail on citizens. He ex-
horted them to dismiss from their minds al
together anything they bad read or heard of
in connection with the case and be guided
BY the evidence produced at the trial.
Porter described theorine as one of unpar
alIeIed atrocity-a crime that had shocked
the whole civilized world. He recounted
the well-known details OF the affair, and
paid warm tribute To the character and
life of Burke and Cavendish. He gave par
particulars of the organization of the IN
Vincibles" who, he said, doubtless looked
upon themselves as an lnvincible band, but
the law was stronger than all those con-
nected with the plot, and looked upon them
as guilty in the eyes of God, as was Brady.
He declared that the object of the conspir
ecy was TO remove all whom they regarded
as tyrants, probably with the ultimate pur
pose Of forming Republic, o
which the four original leader
of the murderous gang, Mullett McCaffrey
Curley and Carey, would be the leading
Epirits- He referred to Sheridan's share In
the crime. bis undertaking to provide arm

mainly, and to losses sustained by back kward

fallen into their present trouble. This is
the first failure of any importance in
Evansville for fifteen months past, and
other commercial interests never seemed
more prosperous than at the present time.
This failure, therefore, is not attributed 10

day in regard to the published statements
that the general sentiment of Democratic
leaders who were in attendance at the Iri-
quois banquet favored TIlden for the stand
ard bearer of the party In 1884. Mr.. Spring
er said the meeting was not in the interest
of any Presidential candidate, and as far rs
ne knew no preference for any individual
candidate was expressed. Its only object
Was 70 enunciate Democratic principles and
to voice the sentiment Of the party on CREST
questions OF the day. There was an over
Whelming sentiment, however, in favor of e
tariff for revenue only. and it was his conyic-
ton that the representatives of the North
west would demand the insertion of this

then remained on top of the debris, with his

which the Mexican authorities have assent
