StlNt liz y Don MILL Triad.
As eli readers know, there WAS muci
mystery about tho murder, but tho muir
derers were discovered and punished al
last, though the discovery led &c he sen
sational killing Of tho principal in
former and the hanging in turn of the
man who killed him. In the effects Of the
men arrested were found letters from
various public men, innocent enough in
themselves, but exciting suspicion TT 2
time when tho public mind was heated.
On the strength OF these Tho London
Times made charges Of completely against
Messrs. Parncll, Egan, Frank O'Donncll
and others, and finally published incrim
mating letters which the accused dc
nounced as forgcries. Then Mr.. ODon-
nell began hls libel suit against Tho
Times, which ended in an unsatisfactory
verdict, after which came the alleged dis
cOyery that plaintiff and defendant were
in collision! And then the question be-
came one as TO what method Mr.. Parnell
should take-an inquiry in parliament, a
commission of judges appointed by parlia.
ment, or direct suit against The Times.
Tho parties to tho ODonnell suit tho
attorneys and the judges are now men of
prominence, pleasant or unpleasant. Mr.
r. II. O'Donnell is a journalist, who en-
tered parliament as an Irish patriot
member for Galway and Dungaryic. and
was reckoned among tho most brilliant
leaders of tho Nationalist party, but re-
fused TO approve recent measures Of his
PARTY and withdrew from its councils.
llij' only counsel in the case was Mr.
Alfred Henry Ruegg rather youthful
barrister against five Of the greatest
lawyers in England, With Attorney Gen
eral Sir Richard Webster ut their head
NJ. }uegg managed his case well, but it
IS claimed that the fact OF his being tho
only counsel renders certain some sort Of
