Confession of n Perjurer.

LONDON, August 10th.-The informer,
Casey, the chief witness for the Crown in
the prosecution against the Maam-Trasna
murdererS, has been induced TO make a
confession. 1t was upon Casey'S testimony
that Mics and Joyce were convicted The
former went voluntarily before the Arch
bishop of Tuam recently and stated that the
testimony he had given at the trial had
been false and had been given for pay. The
Archbishop spoke to Casey of the duty of
PREPARATION with such effect that the periurer
offered to make i public statement. A
number of gentlemen of good standing
were invited to assemble at the Archbishop's
residence III Tuam last Thursday for the
purpose of hearing his confession. Casey
promptly attended and frankly stated that
his services were secured for the purpose of
convicting Niles, Joyce and other prisoners
Crown Solicitor Bolton, of Dublin, Casey
ayerrcd, compelled him to swear as he did
against the prisoners, although he himself
was reluctant To do so, as he knew or be-
lieved that Niles, Joyce and others, against
whom his testimony was directed, were in
nocent. Edward O'Brien, editor of United
Ireland has announced that he would place
Casey's confession before Parliament next
week, and make it the basis for judicial in
duirv, not only into the Maam-Trasna case
but into the entire series of prosecutions
and convictions upon which Bolton has
built up his prestige and official strength in
Ireland.
