CONTINUATION OF THE DUBLIN TRIAL, Dusuiy, April 12.—The trlal of Joe Berady, charged with murderin, Cavendish and Barke, was mnmag this morning. James éumywn again placed on the witness stand and cross- examined by tho counsel for the de- fense, who elicited the information that when pletting the murder with the oth:r acoused men he was a mem- ber of a soclety which received the sacrament at stated periods. Oarey also atated he was promised a pardon before he determined to glve evidence ainst his follow conspirators. A photograph was handed Carey which the witness immedlately identified as that of the man known as “Namber 1.” Qarey was one of the prlme movers {in the murder of Burke but was under compulsion during the time directly oeding the event. Belng closely terrogated by counsel on this polnt, Qarey finally admitted he was not under compulsion when he pointed nut Burke to the assassios and urged the murderers to remember the man olad in a gray sult was Barke. Wit. ness sald, althongh he had for sixteen Eul been worl for wages averag- g only two pot » week, he had, in 1882, ninety tenants occupying his various houses. C)unsel for defense brought out ln sharp countrast to the points made by the crown, that Carey drove with his children to the door of the church in Fitzharris’ cab, on the 6.h of May; that he was the first man to suggest dagzera to be used and afterwards suggested the weapous with which the crime was eommittod should be put on exhi- bitlon as natloaal relics, The answer of witness to questions concerning promiscs of pardon wWere given with much hesitation, Finally he sald he had been informed by Mallon, chief of ths detectives, 1f hisevidencs should be given fresly to the state and be confirmed by others, he and his brother would be pardoned. This statemen: caused a sensation, The attention of Carey belng called to the trifling details discovered lately ro. garding the movementsof Fiizhacris’ oab in the park op tha day of the murder and which had not been given by witness, “Carey remarked signifi ountly, that he had so far only apawered the questions put to him by counsel, and he could if uarestrioted and as he desired to, tell a great desl more. The oross-examioation of Carey was very severe and searching. Counsel for defense remarking on the witness testimony said Caroy’s hands were steeped In blood. Carey, ““Taat s not troe.” Subsequently Carey sald he was only telllog half of what he knew, and was more friendly to counsel for the de. fense than counsel himself was awate of, and told counsel to bear in mind he was not telllng everything he knew agsinst his ollent. Counsel vehemently protested it was his wish to have no ‘rlendly inter- course with the witness, and he wanted no favor from him., Joseph Smith, another of the acoused, who turned informer, repeated the story of his dolngs in Prosaix park as related by James Carey at the preliminary hear- ing. Swith sald he was sworn in ss an Invincible three weeks before the murder. The Invincibles had a secret sign by which they recognizad eash other, which was the holding of a knife in the palm of the hand. Michael Kavanagh, who drove the car on which the murderers rode, re- peated his former evidencs sabstan. tially in the same langusge. He made a materialamendment, however, saying it was Smith, no: Dalany, whom he drove to the scene of the murder with Carey. His previous statement was & mistake. His testi- mony showed it was Brady who di rected him where to drive aad who designated the place for him to walt for the murderers. The physiclans who examined the bodies of Oavendish and Burke then gave evidenoe relative to the nature of the wounds, The case for the prosecution closed at 3 o'clock. The case for the defence then opened. Counsel for defence spoke for an hour, His argument was 1a support of an alibi for the prisoner. Oounsel denounced Csrey's villainy in having betrayed the men whom he had seduced Into commission of crime, The informers, he sald, contradicted each other on fmportant points. The rule was infamous that informers’ tes timony unaccompanied by any other evidence should be accepted. Inter- eatod evidencs must be corroborated by disinterested testimony In this oase such evidence wan lacking, Annie Meagher deposed that she was with Brady at her uncle’'s home on the 6.h at b p. m., and agsia from 6:45 untll 8 In the evering, The keeper of the public house, named Little, deposed that Brady was In his house at 4 1a the afternoon, and again ot 8:456 In the evening of the 6th of May. The cross-examination, how- ever, ellolted the fact that Little's house was the lar rendezvous of Invincibles. At 6 the court adjourned.

A lot of papers were put In evidence, including the catalogue of achemical firm in Birm- inghan.. The latter was found at Norman's lodeings. It contained full directions formsking dynamite. The proprietor of the hotel where Norman was stopping when arrested was brought face to fecs with Gllagher, and testifled that to the best of his belief he was the person who, under the name of Fietcher, several times virfted Norman. The daughter of the hotel proprietor, from whom Gal- Inger engaged rooms for Norman, pos- itively idoutified him ss Fietoher.
