Lord Frederick Cavendish arrived in
Dublin on May 8. 1882, to be present at
the formal entry of the new viceroy of Ire
land, Lord Spencer During the day he
was engaged in official business at the
castle, later he left the castle on foot
to walk in Phoenix park, where he met Mr..
Burke II was a bright summer evening,
between and o'clock, scarce less light
than at nooday, and there were many peo-
pie in the park. The two men walked
along the principal road until they were
within a few yards of the Phoenix monu-
ment Some boys on bicycles passed them
and rode around the monument, and when
they returned found the chief secretary
and Mr.. Burke lying on the ground dead
and covered with wounds. Both were in
large pools Of blood. On examination II
was found that Mr.. Burke had received
several stabs near the region of the heart
and that his throat had been cut. His
clothing was much torn and his hands
bore marks OF fierce and protracted en-
counter. Lord Frederick Cavendish had
been stabbed in several places about the
/ cleSt. 1ne crime WAS Wll1tccGu ny cCN-
eral persons who thought the participants
were roughs wrestling. -Four men who
were seen driving IN a car towards the
monument were known to be the murder
ers, but for some time their Identity could
not be established. The news Of
the assassinations caused intense indig-
nation and sorrow. A. reward of $4,000
was offered to any one who should give
information that would lead to the con-
wction Of the murderers, and a further
sum of IS, 900 for such private information
as should lead to the same results, with
free pardon to any person not the actual
participator in the murders, and full pro-
lection in any part Of her majesty's do
minions. Many arrests were made, but
the briefest examination convinced the
authorities that the police were not even
on the track of the murderers. At last
clews were obtained and closely followed,
and a large number of further arrests
were made. Among the prisoners was
James Carey, town councillor, who later
turned infogmer. He had lured other men
to toin the Invincibles, which was an In
ner-circle of the Fenian organization, the
object of which was to murder govern
ment officials. Carey had arranged the
Phoenix Park assassinations, and had
given the signal when the deed was to be
done. lyman, the man arrested to-day,
was one of those appointed TO organize
society in Dublin. The trial of the ac-
cused men resulted in a conviction of JOS
eph Brady, Daniel Curley Michael Pagan,
Thomas Caffrey and Timothy Kelly, all
of whom were executed. Carey was re-
leased and started on voyage under an
assumed name for South Africa on the
steamer Melrose Castle. He was follow
ed by an Irish avenger who shot and kill
ed him at Port Elizabeth.
The Times tomorrow will say that Bell
and Wallace are charged with lyman with
being concerned in a dynamite conspir-
acy.
