LONDON, July 21.-The Nationalist
are thought to have clear case against
the government in the death of John
Vaudeville, whose privations and Suf-
ferings while in TuIlamore Jail no one
longer doubts were the cause of his de-
mise. The story of his incarceration as
told by his widow and other witnesses
at the Inquest is pathetic in the eX-
IRENE, and if anything is calculated to
make Mr.. BalfOur an object of greater
eXecratiOn and hatred in Ireland this
painful narration is destined to do so.
The suicide of DR.. Ridley lends addi-
tlonal strength tothe opinion that Mr..
Vaudeville was brutally treated at Tul-
lahore, and this by the authority of the
chief secretary. Mr.. O'Brien. Mr.
Mandeyille's fellow-prisoner, said to-
day that the revelation of
THIS PIECE OF CRUELTY
would be worth thousands of votes in
England. The bulk of the Tories ac-
cepted coercion, he said, without being
aware OF the great and practically un-
limited powers it conferred upon one
man, who, if he were ill-dispOsed toward
1riShmen. conld go to any length to
render life burden to them, and in
fact accomplish their death, as in the
case of Mir. Vaudeville. Mr.. O'Brien,
in speaking OF the character of the de-
ceased, said that he was SO true to the
cause of Ireland that he would have
died gladly if he knew that in giving up
his life he would have added SO much to
the Nationalist cause, as his death is
now likely to 90. Mr.. O'Brien felt con-
WINGED that English voters would soon
see for themselves What coercion was
doing for the sister isle, and a great
wave of sympathy would soon mount
up and sweep the present government
from power and change things. No
cause which enrolled martyrs among its
believers could fail o win in the end,
and he was sure that the end was near.
The Inquest on the body OF DR.. James
Ridley, the medical attendant at Tulla-
more jail who killed himself rather than
give testimony as to the treatment re-
ceived by Mr.. Vaudeville, has been adj
jOurned until Friday next.
The utmost interest attaches to the
case. and particularly to the papers of
the deceased, which were seized by the
coroner. These documents are believed
to contain confession that the harsh
ness Of Mr.. Mandeville's treatment was
prompted by persons in high quarters,
and doubt is expressed that they will
ever be produced. The Freeman says:
Had Redley been a worse man. he
ssoald have faced examination, but not
Seing dead to human feeling. he ended
IS life in moment of overwhelming
lame"
The Vaudeville inquest was resumed
to-day. a great sensation was caused
by the evidence of Daniel Goulding. who
was formerly a warden i'll TullamOre
Jail. GOulding deposed that on the
evening of November % the governor
OF the Jail said he had received
ders to strip Mr.. Vaudeville; that he
twitness) and the other five wardens en-
tered the prisoners cell and found him
sleeping soundly; that the chief warden
shook the prisoner rudely and aroused
him; that Mr.. Vaudeville resisted, but
WAS SOON STRIPPED NAKED,
and that he cried. For decency'S sake
leave my shirt whereupon the warden
gave him his shirt. in which he lay the
rest of the night, refusing to put on the
prison garb. The witness said he was
aware that Mr.. Vaudeville had been
punished for periods never before re-
corded in the warden's book. The in
quest was adjourned.
