DUBLIN, January 15.-Freeman's
Journal says that Blunt has made a
statement of the ground on which he
fears the Parnellites are imprisoned.
While in the south of England in
September he met Balfour, who said
that he intended to imprison physically
the weakest of the Parnellites,
adding that he felt sorry for Dillon,
who had some good about him and
who would die in prison as he would
get six months and was in bad health.
After the Mitchelstown affair, Blunt
warned O'Brien and Dillon, and to
this he says he attributes Balfour's
virulence at the trial and that he
feels unsafe in the latters' hands.
Balfour says: " The story is a
ridiculous lie. do not believe Blunt
ever made the assertion attributed to
him."
