La Caron, The Spy I '.
Major Le Garon, the apt, who was examined before the Parnell Conmis•ion, was reported critically ill on M ay 17th at his retreat in a south-western suburb of London. He was suffering from peritonitis. His health had been broken for some time, principally by the constant state of terror in which he lived, fearing assassination. His hair and moustache, which were jet black he dyed a faint tint, and this made him look so strange tbat he fancied it wou(d lead to his detection by his eaumies. This fear has preyed on his mind. He lives in a small house, and is under unremitting police supervision. For two months he bad not ventured out of doors. Ihe most remarkable feature of the case is that by the purest accident the doctor wbo is attending him is the youngest brother of Thomas Burke, tbe Undersecretary for Ireland who was assassinated With Lord Frederick Cavendish by the Invinciblea in the Phoenix Park, Lrnbiin, some years ago. Dr Burke bar>|>ened to practice in the neighbourhood, and was called in by tbe police as a person wbo could be trusted with the secret of Le Caron's identity.
