tervisw with the informer, LIE Caron. The
German Government has decided to hberare
Malietoa, the deposed King Of Samoa.
LONDON, April 3O.-The Parnen Conn
mission resumed its sitting to-day. There
was a moderate attendance in the court
room. Mr.. Parnell was called to give his
evidence. He took his seat in the witness
chair and gave his testimony IN a clear and
deliberate manner.
He testified that he did not know Peter
Delaney was connected with the Amnesty As
sociation. He had never heard of any att
tempt being made on Mr.. Justice Lawson's
life. He was never a member of secret
society. Although the late Mr.. Forster
did not know Mr.. Blggar was a Fenian
until 1877, he advised Mr.. Biggar to re-
sign his seat in Parliament, but Mr.. Biggar
refused.
Mr.. Parnell said he did not communicate
with Ford OF FenIan eonYiets in Amerieas
neither did he meet them there. He first
heard of the Clan-na-Gaei in America. He
doubted that the convention at Cincinnati
advocated the destruction of the link be-
tween England and Ireland which was so
opposed to his opinion.
NOT FORD, BUT DILLON.
He did not leave his interests in America
in the hands of Ford and Fenians, but in
the hands of Mr.: Dillon and body repre-
senting the party cooperating in America
with q party in Ireland. He had urged
boycotting under certain conditions, but
never intimidation.
Mr.. Parnell forgot the alleged interview
with LIE Caron in 1881. He said it might
have occurred. He had not said he believed
that only force would redeem Ireland.
He did not doubt that by constitutional
Parliamentary action the Irish leaders
would succeed. He never suggested revo-
luton nor discussed the means by which q
revolution could be effected.
He had not been asked to authorize the
payment of a20, 900 to remove officials.
He had never sanctioned outrsges. He did
not know of payments for the committal o.
outrages. He did not approve Of sugge2-
ton by Mr.. Egan that Earl Cowper, Mr.
Forster, Under Secretary Burke, Justice
Lawson and many others be removed.
He could not have approved Of such suggessl
ton, Mr.. Egan never having made it.
SOME POSITIVE DENIALs.
He had never heard proposals from any
quarter for the removal (meaning mur-
der) of Earl Cowper, Mr.. Forster and
others. He did not know OF the existence
of the InVincible conspiracy until after his
arrest in 1888, when he was liberated from
the Kilmainham Jail on parole to attend
the funeral of his nephew in Paris. He met
in Paris Justin Mccarthy and Messrs.
Quinn and Byrne. He did not hoy
Byrne had been D FeniaH. =
He did not communicate with Mr.. Egan;
directly or indirectly while he was in Paris,
thinking that his parole precludeA eomm1S
nication with any of his plsssscaI friendsi
He had always regarded the Phoenix Park
murders as the greatest possible calamity 10
Ireland. He had never been able to obtain
the slightest evidence connecting the League
with these murders, except in unreliable
statements by the informer, Carey. He did
not believe the stories about Mr.. Egan sup
plying the InYineibles from the League
funds,
The payment of e100 to Mr.. Byrne waa
made in response to a letter asking for an
advance for the purpose of the Land and
Labor League, and not for the purpose Of
enabling him to make his escape. He had
not the slightest suspicion that Mr.. Byrns
was engaged in any conspiracy.
