Prominent Leaders of the Cause
Add Weight to the New Pre-

New YORK, March 1S.-The council OF
the Irish National Federation met to-day
at Cooper Union. John F. Walsh, presI-
dent of the Municipal Council, Patri K
Gleason, vicP-president, reviewed Lord
Rosebery's speech at Edinburgh, and said
it proved the sincerity of the Liberal party
to the home rule question. 1t was very
likely that the Conservatives, if they came
into office, would pass home rule bill for
Ireland. No matter what name it was
called, the Irish people should accept it.
At the same time it was the duty of the
port the Liberal and Radical parties, for
it was their aggressiveness which caused
The Conservatives to do anything for the
masses. The Liberals and the Conserva-
tives, he said, were like the tortoise and
the hare-the Conservatives were general
ly slower. but won nearly always in the
end. The committee on organization re-

Timothy Healey also spoke. saying ii
was unnecessary for the anti-Parnellites
and Parnellites TO be friends in order to
unite at a council board and decide upon
a common policy. Mr.. Heaey added,
however, that such councils would dc
more for the Irish cause that any declara.

House of Commons. and he would never
have such speeches as those made by Lord
Rosebery. He said that Lord Rosebery
had yesterday repudiated the general in

language.

DOUBTS ABOUT HIS GUILT.
There Was No Attempt Made at
Robbery.
THE QUEER TESTIMONY GIVEN.
Detectives Working on the Case
Stoutly Maintain That Evans
Is Innocent.

JACKSON. March 1S.-After three hours
deliberation the jury In the Evans case
returned a verdict of murder in the first
degree, and fixed the penalty at imprison-
ment for life. Three ballots were taken.
A night session of the court was held on
Saturday and the Judge delivered bis
charge to the jury, after which they were
| locked up, ana ii cccasi0ned considerable
su urprise that Trey agreed SO quickly, as
there had been much conflicting testi-
mony, and a disagreement was generally
expected.
The crime for which John Evans stands
convicted was committed on June 10 last,
when Express Messenger Michael Tovey
was shot and instantly killed while riding
by the side OF the driver on Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s stage, running between lone and
Jackson.
Suspicion did not at once fasten upon
Evans, who was q sort of nondescript
character. occasionally employed by some
OF the farmers in the vicinity. There were
many theories of the murder, but IL was
generally agreed that Tovey had been shot
from motives of revenge by some ex-con-
Wet whom the messenger had been instru-
Evans was finally arrested, however, the
case against him having been worked up
largely by Sheriff Thorn of Calaveras
County. for strange as it may seem Detec-
tive Hume, who was working on the case
for the express company, has always
maintained that Evans is innocent.
1t was about four miles from here, just
as the stage was at the foot of a narrow
grade, that Tovey met his death. The
point selected was the identical spot
where the same guard, about five months
before, while walking ahead of the stage,
found the road baTricaded with strands OF
barbed wire, cut from alongside, and
stretched across the highway.
On this occasion the murderer was con.
cealed behind some rocks on the right side
of the road. He wore no mask, except
that his face was blackened and no word
to halt was given. 1t was about 5 O'Clock
the stage came opposite the place of con.
cealment when, without the least intima-
ton of what was going to happen. shot
rang out and Tovey pitched forward and
would have fallen to the ground bad mol
the driver caught him.
The six horses attached to the stage
grade three more shots were fired, but nj
attempt was made to follow the stage
which was halted. nor was any demand
made for the treasure on board.
There have been many very unusua
things in connection with the trial, one OF
the most sensational being Evans owr
statement that he had been drugged and &
confession extnrted from him by means o.

while witnesses on the stand swore tbs
