James on the Phenix Park Murders.

LONDON. Nov. 20.-Continuing his speech
before the Parnell commission to-day, Sir
Henry james referred to the fight with Pat
rick Egan as proof of criminal conduct,
and declared there was other proof of his
association with the Phoenix Park murders.
He referred TO Byrnes' alleged completely
in the murders while acting as secretary of
the Parnellite party. Abiding TO the sup
preston of the leagues books, he said he
did not direct suspicion against Lewis nor
make allegations against him. Still he could
not help thinking that astute gentleman
had been imposed upon regarding the miss
ing books. If the commission could have
got the books they would have been found
TO contain records showing that Byrnes and
other members Of the Parnellite party were
connected in financial matters with the In
yiucibles. The defense, on this aspect Of
the case, is open to the grayest suspicion.
