! Regents Park. She gave as references
Clement Preston, of Broekley, and Mr.
| Parnell, of the house of coInmons-two
| gentlemen in one. These facts proved
that the pair had concealed their in
timacy to the last, and cleared O'Shea
| of the charge of connivance. The re-
! spondent and Parnell used this house
together from 1887 until 1889, she call
| ing herself the sister of Clement Pres
| ton. All this would be proved in evil
! dence, and would surely enable the Jury
to return a verdict that would liberate,
Capt. O'Shea from marriage that he
now looked upon as shameful bondage.
AT the conclusion of Sir Edward Clark's
address, Capt. O'Shea took the witness
stand, and was examined by Mr.. Inder-
wick. He said: II married Miss Kath-
crime Wood on the oath of January,
1867. There were three children OF the
marriage. After my election to parlia-
ment, was introduced to Mr.. Parnell
by The O'GOrman Mahon. After that
invited Parnell to Thomas hotel and
introduced him to Mrs. O'Shea. l had
all angry quarrel with Mrs. O'Shea on
account of the visits of Parnell to EIt-
ham, of which l knew nothing until

was convinced by Mrs. Steele that
there was nothing wrong. The
arrest and confinement of Mr.. Parnell
took place after that. AS on his release
he was not in good health, l invited him
to Ethan. Mrs. O'Shea after that went
to Bedford square, Brighton. l did not
know Mr.. Parnell visited her there. l
had house some time after in Medina
terrace, Brighton, but [ certainly did
not know that MIR. Parnell visited or
slept in that house. In 1884 l was in
Lisbon. On my return l heard vague
rumors that Parnell had been seen in
Ethan. | wrote to Parnel, who an

Ground for the Scandal,
that then existed. On the same
day, l got letter from Mrs.
O'Shea. She denied absolutely that
there was any truth in the rumorS then
prevailing. In the spring of 1885 was
in Spain, and in the autumn of that
year l and my wife were at Margate.

Parnell. Then followed the general
election. ! first stood for the Exchange
division of Liverpool, and afterwards
for Galway. l was opposed by Mr..
Healy and Mr.. Bggar. / heard state
ments about Mr.. Parnell and Mrs.
O'Shea during the contests. l remon-
strated with my wife, but she said her
acquaintance with Parnell was for po-
litical purposes"
MIR. Inderwicl-Did Mrs. O'Shea tell
you anything about Mr.. Parnell?
Whitness-Yes, she told me that she
knew that he had been secretly mar
ried. The witness continuing, said:
"At that time had no idea that Parnell
was constant visitor at Ethan. Af-
ter that some paragraphs appeared in
the papers about Mr.. ParnellS visits to
ETHAN, and l wrote expressing annoy
ance at the circumstance. ] never
knew that Parnell had horses at Ell
than until | was told so by my son.
There was a conversation about taking
criminal proceedings against the news
papers, but as it was thought that
would only make the scandal worse, the
idea was abandoned. l simply wrote
TO the editors about the matter. After
