times professionally. He reported
himself to the authorities on each
occasion, except in 1867. Neither
O'KeIley nor Parnell had ever written
him. The Fenians expelled O'Kelley
witness said, because he had joined
with ParRell in an open morement.
O'Leary denounced O'Kelley. Witness
believed O'Lsary was a violent OPP
ponent of the league, and continuing,
witness said he delivered sealed packets
from Dewey and O'Lesry to Egsn in
Paris in 1881, and acknowledged that
the security of the seals alone prevented
him from opening the packages. He
again saw E3an in America. in 1888.

the home organization was concerned.
Parnell complained of this opposition,
aud said that the home and sister or
ganiz atoms would have been crippled
had they not obtained assistance from
America. At ParDell's request, wit
ness saw Dewey q I'd Sullivan and two
others in America. He did not write
the result of his conversations with
these men to Parnell, because he had
not been requested to. Moreover,
Egan had instructed witness to write TO
him. Witness conversation with Par
nell had no reference to Egan. The
most important part of Parnell's con-
versatien concerned his views as a revo-
lutionist. He declared that he did not
see why an insurrectIon should be I'M
successful. Witness had heard this be-
fore from Egan, but coming from Par
nell, it startled him.

for public purposes. For instance, he
took John O'Neill's l. o. U. for 975, to |
