WATCHING THE SECRETARY." Delaney told witness to come acmes the road sharp, and drive to where the others were. Brady and Delaney got on one side of the car. Kelly was one of the men waiting. Two gentlemen, walkirg arm in arm, passed on the left hand side of the footwar. Kavanagh was told to drive on and wait. One of the men said to the other. "Mind, it is the tall man." A car passed and several cyclists. Witness, hearing one of the gentlemen a few moments after shout "Oh 1" turned round, and saw the greyish gentleman on the ground, and the other in the road with his umbrella raised. The former returned to the car, and they drove as fast as they could down the Fifteen Acres  drive. Kavanagh got £3, a set of harness, and afterwards altered his car and had it repainted. Keyanagh had previously been to the park on several occasions with the game four men, and he had been sworn in as a member of a secret society. When Mr Murphy stated every scrap of evidence corroborative of Kavanagh and leading up to THE SCENE OF SLAUGHTER would be produced there was a loud outburst of applause amongst those in court. Corroborative evidence was given. Kavanagh also stated that he was the carman who drove Brady and Delaney to Hardwicke-street on the day that Mr Field was attacked, and that these two were joined by Kelly and Hanlon, that he beard a cry, and Brady and Kelly mounted the car and drove off. A sensation WPS produced in the court, and the scene was singularly striking. Kavanagh, a tall young man, with short black hair and shaven face, was quiet and self-possessed throughout. The prisoners listened with profound attention. Joseph Brady, in hoarse tones, shouted, " You are a liar !" and hissed,. "You cur, you are !"

A thrill of horror ran through the auditors when Samuel Jacob, on intelligent lad, narrated the terrible scene which he had witnessed. and described how one of the assassins ran from one prostrate body to the other to give a coup de grace to the dying men. At. the next sitting, when further confirmatory evidence was given, there was an addition to the prisoners in the dock in the person of Tom Catfery, identified by Kavanagh as THE FOURTH MAN on the car. Theprisoners were charged with conspiracy to murder, and in pursuance of that conspiracy of having murdered Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr Burke on the 6th of May. Tim Kelly was now nervous, but smiling, and all the other prisoners exhibited much merriment, When they heard the charges they smiled as though they were highly amused. Patrick Cahill identified Caffery as one of the men on the car, which "wag flying, and could not go faster than it did." Michael Glynn, a bricklayer, spoke to seeing four men near the car lying down on the grass opposite the Viceregal Lodge. Several of the prisoners were anxious to turn informer, and on Saturday, February the 17th, James Carey, a member of the Dublin Council, confessed to his share in the crime, and in doing so implicated a Middlesbrough man. On this occasion, as a result of the confession, twenty-two men were placed in the dock. He narrated his connection with the Fenian Brotherhood since 1862, and his connection with the Dublin Directory. McCaffery brought a man named Walsh to his house in November, 1887.
