Justice Harmon intimated that the courts
decision in the matter of disclosure of
documents was that all documents which
they possessed, including even those which
the Times solicitor thought spurious
should be disclosed in order to assist in
the search for truth.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Parnell,
stated that he had received several threat.
ening letters. Justice Harmon remarked
he had also, and probably others engaged
in the case, received similar letters
The intimidation of witnesses was so
certain that precautions must be taken
not to allow a premature disclosure of
their names. The taking of evidence In
relation to outrages was then proceeded
with. James Manmon, one of the wit
nesses, declared himself both Fenian
and member of the National league. He
said he had taken part in several outrages
and had gone on moonlight expeditions.
He knew no moonlighter who was not also
member of the league.
Peter Flaherty, of Galway,
testified he was a moonlighter and was
not ashamed to acknowledge it. He said
he was ready to act with moonlighters
again.
Edward Flanagan said he had been in
America since 1879. He had been present
at numerous league meetings at Pittsburg
and New York, at which Stephen j. Meahy
had presided. He said Meahy had COL
lected funds for the purpose of buying
| firearms for use in Ireland. The court
then adjourned.

suicide, and the marks were received by
contact with objects in the water. The
| police searched the casual wards of the
various police stations in hope of getting
some clue to the murderer, but they were
unsuccessful. They arrested one man
who had bowie knife in his possession
