araity which had befallen their cause
through the horrible deed, and declared
that stain would sully the name OF
Ireland until the murderers we're brought
to justice. Eight months passed away
before James Carey and a dozen or. more
men implicated in the murder were ar
rested. Carey turned informer and gave
evidence against his confederates and he
was afterwards killed by O'Donnell who
followed him to South Africa. A few
years after, the truculent London Times
published q series of articles under the
head of "Parnellism and Crime" and
boldly charged Mr.. Parnell in forged let
ters with being the chief conspirator in
the Phoenix Park tragedy. The Times was
prosecuted by the Irish leader and heav-
lily mulcted for the villainous Islander,
and Mr.. Parnell was indicated in the
eyes of tho whole world. ..
Now comes P. J. P. lyman, the "Num-
Der One" of the Irish Invincibles who
gives the New York World the advance
sheets of book to be published by him,
pnrporting to reveal the mystery of the
Irish Invincibles and the Phoenix Park
crime. The World of last Sunday gives
twelve columns ofTynan's story in which
he falsely charges Parnell and his asso.
GATES with being the rlngleaders in the
awful tragedy. It is supposed to have
been written at the suggestion of the
LONDON Times to make political capital
out of it in the coming campaign, but q
dispatch from London says that Tynan's
story has fallen fiat on British ears and
utterly failed as a sensation. Ex-Minister
Patrick Egan, who was instrumental i'll
proving the forgeries published by the
Times against Parne]l, says that the
story has been written at the instigation
of the british Thunderer" for the pur-
pose of achieving victory for the Tories
at the next English election. If the
Times could convince the English voters
that Parnell and his followers we're
aware of the intended assassination of
Cavendieh and Burke, 1t would be a vim
dication of it's own attacks on Parnell in
the articles it published. He says that
he knows the Times has emlssaries in
this country searching evidence to con.
meet the Irish parliamentary party with
the Invincibles and thinks that lyman is
mentally unsound. Mr.. Egan says:
"The charge that Parnell knew of these
plans or that he was ava of the deter
mination to keep the office of chief secre-
tary for Ireland vacant by assassination,
or that he urged more vigorous action
when the Invincib]es failed to assassin
ate. is absurd on the face of it. By none
will it be more quickly discredited
than by those members of the British
parliament who served with Parnell and
knew him. If Mr.. Parnell or the Land
League, or any of Parnell's followers,
had had any connection with those
crimes the fact would surely have be-
come known, because the London Times
ransacked Ireland, France, the United
States and England for evidence to
establish this connecting link, buying up
every one it could, spending in all over
100000, and then failed in the attempt
cannot account for Tynan's charges
except on the theory that he may be
mentally unsound. Ii he really was the
No. of the conspiracy ending in the u.s.
sassination of Lord Cavendish, is it likely
that he would acknowledge it, even
though he might be protected by extra
dition? I do not know whether or not
the United States would give him up
were demand made by England, but it
seems to me that no man who had really
been engaged in such conspiracy and
murder would publish the fact to the
world" "...u.
lyman commences his book in the fol-
lowing words: "The hour has come
when the history of the Irish National
organization must be written"
It is evidently written for cash, and as a
work of fiction it will not command
big sale His narrative connecting Par
nell and his followers with the bloody
tragedy in Phoenix Park will not be
believed on either side OF the Atlantic,
and it is unnecessary for the Irish party
to deny his sensational revelations. A
man claiming to be the leader in spch
crime is entitled to no credence what
ever. He ought to have been executed
