LONDON, July l2,-Upon the resump
ton Of the sitting Of the Parnell com
mission to-day, Sir Charles Russell, ol
Council for the Parnelites, asked Mr.
Soames, the solicitor for tho Times to
produce list OF the payments he had
made to witnesses in behalf Of the Times
and all the communication that had
passed between himself and the Times
agents in America and Ireland,
Attorney General Webster declined
to allow Mr., soames 10 produce the com.
munication, Mr., Soames was then re-
called, He testified that he had not
made out List Of the witnesses, He
could not tell when he had first cores
ponded with LeCaron, There was no
definite arrangement rs to how witness
should pay him. Already several pay.
ments had been made to him, Mr., Mac
Donald manager OF the Times said II was
understood that LeCaron would be pro.
vided for. He had lost his employment
In the Government service, AS long as
1t was needed he was to receive
assistance.
DR.. Houston, Secretary OF the Loyal
and Patriotic Union, was then recalled
and re.examinud. He testified that Lord
Stalbridge first mentioned Pigott to him
US a useful witness. The articles on
Parnellism aud Crime, published in the
Times, were an elaboratGly reprint OF
"Parnellism Unmaskcd," which was
compiled by Pigott, and for which wit.
ness paid sixty pounds, Witness stated
that he was willing to place tho books
of the Loyal and Patriotic Union be-
fore the court, but no objected to their
being examined by its political oppo'
nents. Witness borrowed G450 from
Lord Stalbridge and Sir Roland Blenner-
hassett and ES50 from DR.. Mcguire to
buy the letters printed ,y the Times,
Mr., Houston produced voucher for
El00 paid to Eugene Davis.
Sir Charles Russell you be-
lieye that voucher is in Plgotts hand
writingW
Witness-"They write similarly. l
don't believe II Is in Pigotts handwrit-
ing"
Under repeated questions the witness
persisted that it was Davis voucher,
though obtained through PigOtt.
Sir Charles Russell demanded tho pro-
duCtion OF the books Of the Loyal and
Patriotic Union. lie said hU desired To
prove that the whole Indictment con-
lained in Parnellism and Crime pro-
ceeded from the Union. Pigott had
been used by powerful political orgAni-
Eation to ConCoct the plan.
Presiding Justice Hannen-"This re-
!ates to charges against persons not be-
lore U.s."
Mr.. Asquith, also OF Mr.. Parnell's
counsel, submitted that the court had to
inquire into the origin Hnd growth OF
The charges against tho Parnellites. The
unions books would disclose how Pigott
set TO work to supplement "Parnellism
Unmasked" by the enlarged articles Gu
titled, "Parnellism and Crime" includ-
ing the letters the Times had printed.
Attorney General Webster conteuded
that tho books were wanted in order to
give the Parnellites free range upon other
political matters. The court decided
against the application for the prOduc.
lion Of the books.
Sir Charles Russell then intimated
that he had received written instruct
lions from Mr.. Parncll regarding the
further conduct Of tho case which re-
luired him 10 ask for an opportunity to
consider his position. Messrs, Parnell,
Davitt and Lewis and Sir Charles Rus.
sell hereupon withdrew from the court
room.
