Denton and Haughton Examiner, etc. — 1883-04-07 (Denton, Greater Manchester, England)

STATE OF IRELAND.  It is said that the trial of the men charged with the murders of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke will shortly be commenced, and it In likely to last four weeks. Joseph Brady,who has been identified by several independent witnesses and informers as being in the park on May 11, will be the lint prisoner placed upon his trial for the capital offence. The case for the Crown will last about three days, and that for the defence, which is stated to be an alibi, for one day. At the conclusion of his trial, should a disagreement occur, the trials will all be postponed, and then the Crown will apply for a change of venue in the cases to Belfast. Should the conclusion result in a conviction, Timothy Kelly, the youngest of the prisoners, will be tried, Then Patrick Delaney, Fegan, the two 011anlons, Curley, and "Skin the Goat" will be each tried separately. Before the termination of these trials for the murders of the Chief Secretary and UnderSecretary it is likely that a compromise about challenging the jurors will be entered into between the Crown and the prisoners, and that the remaining hatch of ten or eleven will be tried together for conspiring to murder. This trial is likely to la.t about four days. Revelations of still stronger character than those deposed to by the approver Carey will be related. It will be proved, or at least an attempt will be made to prove,that money was paid to different parties connected with the case for the purpose of assassination, the parties paying the money well knowing it to be for assassination purposes. Several attempts at assassination of officials will be stated, and hairbreadth escapes of the officials will be deposed to. Witnesses who will be produced for the defence have been examined by Mr. Carron, with the view of rebutting their evidence if necessary. Eight prisoners in all will be charged directly with the murder. One of the "Invincible'," John Dwyer,hasbeendischarged from Kilmainham Prison. The evidence against him at the recent investigations was to the effect that he was waiting to murder Mr. Forster as a signalman, but it was not very conclusive, and report says that he was discharged on the ground of ill. broths. Immediately after his liberation he was taken charge of by his:l-ter, and striven to their residence, in Chatharn-street. He may be arraigned with the other prisoners, but this is not likely. The statement that Joe Mullett and James Mullett had become informers is entirely without foundation. The informers at present are the two Careys, Kavanagh, Farrell, and Lami. The Crown does not intend to accept any more Queen's evidence. John Walsh, who was arrested in Havre for being concerned in the conspiracy, has sailed for New York. A schoolmaster, named Slattery, after being arrested near Limerick, under the Curfew Clause of the Crime Act, drew a revolver and fired at his captor. The constable struck the prisoner's arm, and thus escaped injury. Slattery was safely lodged in gaol, and was remanded by the magistrate. It is reported that some docontents of an important character have been found upon him. At Belfast William Gallagher has been committed to the assizes on a charge of shooting at Peter Macaulay, solicitor, with intent to murder. John Brennan, who has three times been tried and acquitted in connection with the Itallydrehid murder, has been again arrested on the same charge, and remanded. In connection with the arrests for conspiracy to murder Government officials, the police have apprehended Jame' O'Connor, seed and agricultural implement merchant, Cork, on his return by train front Kerry, on suspicion of his having treasonable documents in his possession. On being searched, however, nothing of the kind was found, and he was released. No further arrests have been made, but two or three men who left their employ when the drat raid was made are still wanted.
