LONDON, Nov. lathe celebrated
O'Shea-Parnell case came to an end yes
terday, as was inevitable, with n verdict
in favor of Capt. O'Shea. As stated yes
terday in these dispatches, the refusal OF
Parnell or his paramount to put up any
defense was prima facie evidence of their
guilt, and the countercharge that the
prosecution paid most attention to was
that Of connivance on the part of O'Shea.
The testimony given yesterday was most
ly by servants and was corroborative OF
that given Saturday. All swore to the
care taken by Mrs. O'Shea and Parnell to
prevent Capt. OShea having reason to
suspect the truth. The servants were
told the reason Parnell and the woman
were always locked in together when he
was visiting her was that there were mem
bers Of secret societies looking for Par
nell, and the servants were instructed
never to mention to O'Shea that Parnell
had been visiting his wife. The testi-
mony in general brought out the disguise
and secrecy with which the two met.
The Counter Charge of Adultery.
The other charge of Mrs. O'Shea that
her husband had committed adultery
with her own sister, Mrs. Steele, was met
only by the denial of the latter under
oath. O'Shea took the stand again and
swore that the reason he had associated
with Parnell after challenging him to
fight duel in the early part of the liaison
was that he had become convinced at that
time that his suspicious were unfounded.
Justice Butt in summing up the evidence
asked what was the necessity of the
guilty pair resorting to so much secrecy
and disguise IL O'Shea connived at their
relations. The jury took little time in
making up their verdict that Parnell and
Mrs. O'Shea had been guilty of adultery
and that the saptain had not connived
thereat.
Will ParneiI Marry the Woman?
The latest report current in connection
with the scandal is that Parnell will
marry Mrs O'Shea as soon as her hus-
band is clear OF her. Owing to the delays
of the British divorce system about seven
months will pass before the marriage can
take place. Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, who,
although near relative, is rot on the
best of terms with Mrs. O'Shea has
openly stated that, as II man of honor,
Parnell could take but one step adequate
to make the public condone his miscon-
duct and that was to marry Mrs. O'Shea.
1t is thought that Parnell unless there is
something in the story of another mar
riage will not be averss 10 this, as he is
believed to be deeply attached to Mrs.
O'Shea, who retains much of her youth
full beauty
The Irish Refuse to Believe.
The Dublin correspondents state that
great excitement reigns in the city over
the revelations, and that bodies of men
gather in the streets discussing the case,
a nd threatening to mob any one who ex
presses belief in Parnell's guilt. At
Tipperary profound sensation was
caused by the news, to which the police,
apparently acting under instructions, are
giving the utmost publicity.
Davitt and the other Irish leaders now
in London, refuse to enter into any discus.
sion Of the results of the case.
Parody on Romeo and Juliet.
A sheet has been circulating in London
containing caricature of Parnell in the
so.called "balcony scene," when he
jumped off balcony to escape Capt.
OShea, who had unexpectedly arrived
home while Parnell was with Mrs. O'Shea.
Accompanying it is parody on the bal
cony scene in Romeo aud Juliet, with
Parnell as the Romeo and Mrs. O'Shea as
the Juliet. The sheet is having large
