Sir Charles Russell demanded that letter be produced Houston here said that he had receiving it. On being further Pigott voluntarily exclaimed: 1 at once that the statement 1 made Dishop Walsh was unfounde “This statement produced a sensation Charles Russell then said (o witness detiborately wrote lies Witness repliod : Well, exag Sir Charies Russell—*Did tue tions have no truth Witness— Vi litle.

He could not say what the proceed inigs wero to be taken for. He imagined they were for complicity in the Phanix park mur ders, but there was no foundation for the statement. W s again wrote to Arch bishop Walsh on May I, offering to furnish further information. In reply to this letter the archbishop said : 1 understand you are anxious to make a statement to assist the vietims of fraud and slander by exposing fraud and slander, 1 cannot refuse to accent such statements fully.

I reply to a question by Presiding Justice Hannen, wit aess said he was not sure that he had re- ceived the letter. Sir Charles Russell quoted from a letter written by Pizott to Archbishop Walsh on May 12 Witness said he could not say what the latest prono sition mentioned in” the letter meant. He only remembered makmg oue proposition, namely, that he had been shown compromis. ing lefters. His opinion having been asked s to the genuineness of the letters, he had stated that the letiers credited o Parnell were rather doubtful This statement created a court room. Witnoss further testified that e would not swear that he had not told Archbishop Walsh that the leiters were forgeries. He doubted the suthenticity of the letters be cuuse he did not know ‘the handwriting in the bodies of them. He believed he told bishop Walsh that Lo thought the letters were genuine, but would not v that he did. He was hot sure whether Touston ever expressed a doubt as tg the genuineness of the letters, 1t was not owing 1o Houston’s doubts that witness offered to reobtain the moucy. Sir Charles Russell read from a letter to Archbishop Waish from Pigott, in which he »: SI trust your grace will do me the justice to believe'that Tam not the fabrica tor of the letters, as is falsely alleged, Sir Charles asked, “Who was the fabrica- tor! Witness replied that he did not know. Sir Charles—Did you believe there was a fabrication ! Witnoss—*No." This answer caused laughter, Reid produced letters from Pigott to the 0 ehicl seeretary n which he offered Forster papers w Tie said break up the league, for £1.000 to Witness said that the issue of “the Iris the paper printed by Vigott, depended upon s recoiving this sum, a3 his creditors w pressing him. Forster, on June 5, refu 10 aweeept this offer. At Presiding Justice Hannen's Sir Charles Russell agroed o tions from the letters, inste of them, Witness continued that he had becn siraits since 1581, and anxicisly turned evory quarter for noney. Sir Charles Russoll produced u bateh of lettersgvritten by Pigott to Igun, including oue witten on Febriary 23, 1551, in - which the writer asked Kgan to give him the ad dress at which ho could write Parnell, with whom le wished o communicute a inatier of vital rtance.
