O6brOlG, Wnere Lam6rney WluOW lives,
brought up the question of supporting
her because of Lamaraey's services TO
the brotherhood.
Objection was made by the defense
that this was not evidence.
y fhe attorney general held that these
Organizations were really one; that the
evidence was admissible because Egan,
Sheridan and others were directly con-
nected with the Irish Evolutionary
Brotherhood and the Irish United
Brotherhood.
The discussion continued at length,
during which the Acknowledgement ad-
imitted he had never been prepared to
suggest that Parnell or other members
of Parliament were personally con-
nected with the numerous outrages.
His contention was that they were
= $50 ALL ALLIED
with people whom they know to be. or
could have known if they had made il
quiries, to have been prominently con-
nectf d many years with such outrages.
They had allied themselves intimately
with the I. R. B. and availed them
selves of It's money. Knowing the
character of the 1. r. B. they con-
tinued their alliance WIN IL after q most
distinct and positive notice. 1t had
been proved that several members of
the House of Commons attended four
or FIVE league conventions IN America,
where the 1. r. B. controlled. the pro-
ceedings.
Beach declared Egan toll him at the
same convention that if Gallagher had
been free forty-eight hours longer, some
of the best buildings in London would
have been blown up.
THE COURT DECIDED
to admit the evidence on the ground
that tie U. B, Clan-na-Gael AID L.
r. B. were practically the same body.
II had been proved that Egan, Bren-
nan and Sheridan, among the persons
charged, were members Oh the I.sR. b.
The evidence as to what was done in
the convention of the U. B. would be
evidence against them. Other persons,
especially the defendant were mem
bsrs of Parliament, and stood in diff
ferent position, and the court would
abstain from saying anything in regard
to the applicability of this evidence
against them.
BEACH THEN CONTINUED
his testimony. He said: Dillon, Egan,
Ueyoy, Samuel Morris and I attended
the convention. which unanimously
ordered the executive to protect Lam
arney's family. Beach said he went to
the Boston convention in 1884, where
Egan told of his escape from Ireland
and the destruction of secret papers and
let ers.
Egan also told witness that John
Walsh and Dennis McCarty were sent
to Australia to assist Fenian prisoners
to escape. Beach said he knew Esan
was a member of the U. B. in 1888, and
believed he had since continued to be q
member. Witness identified the report
dated September "a. 1884, congratulate
ing members upon the increased
strength Of the organization. The ex-
ecutiye, the report said, intended to
plant seeds in every land. Strict silence
concerning the work was enjoined upon
members. Witness said he visited the

with letter from Egan. describing him
as q most devoted friend OF the Irish
Nationalist. In one circular, witness
said, mention was made of the e1pul-
sion of CronRn for treason to Ireland
and the violation of his oath OF obligas
ton. Beach was on the committee that
tried Cronan. ,+}
AT this point

He took seat by the side of Dsvitt.
