DUBLIN, Sept. p. - Patrick
O'Brien. who was arrested st Car
lift, Tuesday, was brought to this
city yesterday and placed In prison.
The police refused 70 give any In
formation rs TO when he would BE- To-
ken TO Tipperary for hearing, but late
last night the Nationalist learned he
would be conveyed thither by the
morning train today when he
at once made preparations TO give
him n worthy escort. Much TO the
surprise Of the. authorities, large
delegation Of prJmineut nationalisls
boarded the train at the same time
that the officers appeared with
O'Brien. Among these were John
Morley, who has been In Ireland
for some time studying the Irish
question; John Dillon, Alfred IL
ingworth, member Of Parliament for
Bradford; T. NJ. Healy, Harrington
and several others. On the arrival
Of the train at rippersry, the ma
tiOnaiists started Tor The c0ur. house
in a body. They had not gone far
when they stopped at the street cor
ner, but they were ordered by the
police 10 move on. John O'COnnOr,
member Of Parliament, took vigor-
Gus exception 10 this order and
called on the crowd 70 give three
cheers for John Morley. The cheers
were given with good will, much 10
the evaporation Of the police, who
thereupOn charged upon the group
and Attempted 10 force IL 10 move
forward. In the melee the policemen
did not hesitate 70 use their tatJns.
The natiouaiists continued their
way slowly toward the court house.
AS this was the day fixed for the
trial Of Sne arrested nationalist, the
streets were full with people inter
ested in the cise. The nationalists
had thronged 10 town from all a.
jacent parts. Early in the day, IL
became known that still another
arrest had been made. the victim
this time was Thomas J. Condor,
member Of Parliament tor Tipperary
East. He was taken this a0ruiug
at Limerick and also brought 10
ripperary. When the hour for the
sitting Of the court arrived, an i'm
mense crowd had collected before
the court house, ready TO rush in
the moment the door were thrown
open.
The crowd pressed forward, try
Ing 20 force its way into the court
house. But the police sioutly re-
81 t-d,
CHARGING REPEATEDLY.
For fully five minutes there was a
stand-up fight between the now ex-
cited throng and the police. At
last however, the crowd were
gradually forced back and the police
SUCCEEDED in maintaining u clear
SPACE in front Of the court house.
During the conflict many persons
were wounded with blows from the
pOlicemens' bludgeons.
Among them was Timothy Har-
ringt0n. He made his way into
the court rom with hair and coat
collar saturated with blood. His a,,-
pearanee created a sensation ami
lent additional emphasis 10 the COM
plant which William O'Brien was
making 10 the court Of the brutality
Of the police. Atfinst, O'Brien had
refused 10 enter the rom unlr=ss the
public we're admitted, but at last he
decided that he could accomplish
more by appearing in court, en-
tered the room and bitterly de-
nounced the clubbing Of the crowd.
Then John Morley arose and up
pealed 10 the court 10 protect the
pOpulace against the wanton use Of
the club Of the police. Meanwhile
the nationalist leaders continued 10
prot st against the exclusion o. tie
general public and the magistrate
finally ordered the doors opened.
The room was at once filled TO It's
utmest capacity. All proceedings
were followed with intense Interest.
AT the out.et Dillon objected 10 be-
ing tried before resident magistrate
Shannon on the ground that lie had
had q personal encounter with
Shannon once at Cashei, when
Shannon had grossly irsulted him.
He urged that il would therefore be
manifest impropriety in Shsnnon's
sitting at the present trial. Shan
non refused 20 admit the validity OF
Dillon's objections aud declared he
would perform the duty with
out bias. VIM. O'Brien also
objected TO Shannon because
the last time he saw Shannon
the latter was at the head Of the
police who were using clubs upon
the people and, moreover, Shannon
had already tried him three times on
similar charges. His sitting in tie
present case was an indecency and
insult. The magistrate answered
o'Brien's objections in the same way
he disposed Of Dillon's.
