THE "TIMES.-PARNFLL CASE.
Opinion of Pigott.-The Latter's De-
mands.

LONDON, February 2O.-Before the Par.
| nell commission cross examination oil
Houston Secretary of the Irish Loyal Pa'
triotic Union, was continued. Witness
said he destroyed Pigott's letters to him,
according to agreement between them.
Witness did not attempt to secure any
means of testing the genuineness OF the
letters by calling to get the names OF men
from whom Pigott got them. His part was
done when he secured the letters. He had
no means whatever of testing any part OF
Pigott's story, which he regarded as proba-
BILE, especially as the newspaper reports oil
the dispute between Parnell and the Ameri.
q extremists to some extent confirmed
Pigott's story that the letters were left in
bag and found in room in Paris.
The witness saw Stead, editor OF the
Pail Mall Gazette" before he obtain ed
possession of the letters, and asked him to
| take up the matter which would lead to
disclosures. Stead said he lost three thous
and pounds by the publication of
THE MODERN BABYLON ARTICLES,
and didn't care to touch anythingkelse un.
less sure it would be successful.
When the witness visited Paris he had no
genuine specimens of either Parnell's OF
Egan's writing. He accepted the letters
solely on PIgott's word. eff" said the
witness, "Pigott had been needy or fraudu.
lent enough to attempt to commit perjury,
my action would have assisted him, but I
do not admit that he was either. Pigott's
interviews with Labouchere shook my
faith in him and therefore my mind was
not easy until he had signed sworn declar'
ation."
Witness further said he might have told
Stead that Sexton and Dillon were impli.
Gated in the Phoenix Park murder, but il
he did so, it was ON the authority of a
statement made by Eugene Davis to Pig
Oft, copy of which was produced by the
witness. He did not know where the
original was. Two days before the COM
mission opened Pigott wrote him an abu-
sive letter, demanding that after giving the
testimony before the commission, he should
be given $4,000.
