changed his plans, and wanted her to go
with him forthwith to priest and have
the marriage ceremony performed with
out any fuss. The girl reluctantly con-
sented. They had not got more than
few blocks from the house when Reilly
proposed that they take a trip to Rocka
way before getting married, and to this
she also agreed When we got to Rocka-
way Miss Hennessey continued "he took

The Firing Wife,. Plea.

a pecuilarlty OF the case is that in her
answer TO the complaint of her husband
Mrs OShea said practically that she had
not been guilty OF adultery, but if she had
Capt O'Shea had connived at the same.
and IL was this allegation that O'Shea's
counsel set out to disprove. Sir Edward
Clark. @ c, made the opening statement
for OShea and said that he would prove
that Mrs. O'Shea and Parnell pulled the
wool over OShea's eyes" as il were, to

1t seems that in carrying on this bust

more numerous that Capt O'Shea had
any idea of. Those which took place at

explained them as political visits But
at different and frequent times during the
period from ISL to lss9 the two met at
houses other than O'Shea's home under as
sumed names Parnell went by the name
OF Charles Stewart. Mr. Smith. aud

casion when Parnell was with Mrs O'Shea

when the betrayed husband came in at
the front door. Shortly afterward Par
nell made his appearances at the front
door, as though he had just arrived. and

Why O'Shes Kept Quiet So Long.
