the ground, and tho features and form OF
the statue were greeted by clapping oil
hands by the spectators and an outburst Of
music by the band"

and was received applause. AT the close

called was Sergeant Ore. who testified that
he heard Egan addressing an Irish meet
ing recently during which he affirmed that
Eyan said: "To-nieht the hanging Of
O'Donnell shall be avenged" Continuing,
the witness said that the explosion at the
Victoria railway station occurred on the
same night that Esan made the speech.

duced showing that Egen was an officer OF
the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
