SCENES NEVER FORGOTTEN

In the memorable triad which began on
Oct. q, 1885, and came to an end on Nov.
q, 1889, there were many scenes which
those who witnessed them will never for
get, says the London Daily News. In
these scenes the chief personages were Sir
Charles Russell, as he then was, and
Richard Pigott the forger and Houston,
Pigett's employer and dupe, and LIE Ca
ron-that strange, sinister figure, the
ablest by far of the witnesses for the
Times. One remembers these scenes, not
merely for their dramatic interest Of the
moment, but also for their revelation of
the many-sided character of the great aa-
vocate who shattered the fabric of lies
1aboriously built up as an obstacle against
the effort of English Liberalism in the
cause of Ireland. OF all those scenes tie
most stirring was, OF course, Russen's
cross-examination of Pigott, which began
on Feb. 81 1899 During the whole of the
preceding day and the first few hours
of the 2lst Sir Charles Russell had been
making his last preparations for his on

But the most amusing of all were caus-

emigrating to America with the help OF
the money which, he said. kindly Mr.

for the purpose. Sir Charles Russell quiet
