The Times Attempts to Provo That ParneII Was COgniKaRt of thC Sources of VIoIenee-PHbIfc Interest In she Case Waning. LONDON, Oct. 24.-When the Parnell com-
 mission resumed its sitting to-day Sir Charles Russell, counsel for MT. Parnell, said
 that in addition to the forged Farnell letters
 the Times possessed letters alleged to have
 been written by Mr. Dillon, Mr. Biggar and
 other Psrnsllite members of Parliament.
 These had not yet been disclosed. The Times counsel objected to producing them,
 but after some discussion the court there
 upon directed that the documents be pro-
 duced.
 Sir Charles Russell next asked for parti-
 culsrs of the charges against Parnell and the
 other members of Parliament involved in the
 case. Here MT. Michael Davitt arose and
 claimed the right to appear for himself. The
 court sssented.
 ALLEGED coNPLIcTTY IN ouTRAGEs. After Justice Hannen had intimatsd that the refusal of the defense to produce the
 land league books would necessitate the court to compel their production, Attorney General Webster continued his presentation of the Times case, making further review of the articles on f'Parnellisn and Crime" i" He quoted from letter of Patrick Esgan, in
 which the writer sent fifty pounds for the
 payment of men who had committed out- rages Prior to the Phoenix Park murders MT. Parnell neither did nor said anything in
 condemnation of the crimes committed by members of the league. The issue after the murders of the manifesto reprobating them
 signed by Parnell, Dillon and Davitt, was only done under necessity. It would be proved by Captain O'Shea,
 that Mr. Parnen objected to sign the manifesto and that he signed it finally with reluctance. Captain Payne O'Shea acted as a medium in the negotiations with Parnel1 for the suppression of outrages. When the ques- ton arose regarding MT. Parnell's control of his comrades MT. Parnen declared that there were some men who must be let out of prison and he named Brennan, the late secretary of those who must either be kept out ot Ireland or in prison. Mir. Parnell, continued the at- torney general, also advised that Sheridan and Boyton be allowed to return to Ireland as they could control those who were engaged in the commission of crime. All this showed that Mr. Parnell had 6 thorough knowledge of the sources of violence.
 The attorney general further accused MT. Parnell of possessing criminal knowledge re- garding the use of vast funds by the league for criminal purposes. Accounts published by the Dublin Freemans Journal gave the re- ceipts of the land league from October, 1879, to October, 1881, as IA, ,S90 pounds. Only A, ,677 pounds of this sum was ac- counted for. Row was the remaining 10o,- 900 pounds appliedi Did MT. Parnell know the uses to which this large sum was devot- eda Was it so expended that its distributors did not dare to give an open statementi PUBLIC INTEREST WANING. The attorney general was then proceeding l to expand upon the support received by ths Parnellites from the Irish World when the court adjourned for the day. The attorney generals exhaustive method of presenting his case Is patiently submitted to by the court, the judges having determined, in &C., \ cordance with usage, to permit counsel in their opening addresses to follow their own line. Public interest in the case has begur ! to wane under the influence of the attorney generals prolix exposition. He never was ( ! brilliant speaker, and the weight of the case | appears to have crushed what capacity fol | luminous statement he ever had.
 A later despatch says that general inn pression is growing that the Times case ii \ weaker even than its enemies imagined | Should the general continue, another Weel ' will not see the end of his speech. The salt
 of the evening papers is entirely unaffected \ by the trial.
