ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE PORE

MAN OF THE HYNES JURY,

Did you keep your appointment then on Monday at Kennedy’s in Duke street ? I did.

Did you meet Mullet there ? i did. Is that the man that made the appointment- Joseph Mullett ? Yes. Was he along when yon went there first ? Yes, he was.

DM any other person join you after that ? They did, Wi 1 you tell me who they were ? John Dwyer and another man named Molloy. I don’t know his Christian name. Who was Molloy ? Did you know where he lived or what was his business 1 No. Well who else came in. Larry Hanlon came in. Witness then gave evidence of having been directed to proceed to Westland-row by Mullett. He accompanied Laurence Hanlon as far as Moore’s statue. Here they met Tim Kelly. Hanlon and Kelly went down to Westmoreland street, and witness went down to Westland row.

Who was the first man you knew that you met in Wesland row ? Daniel Curley, When were yon going down Brunswick street to Westland raw, had you any revolver with you ? No. Farrell then stated that Curley took him to - a gateway convenient to the Merrion Hall, and there gave him a revolver loaded.

Had you the revolver when you were arrested ; I bad not; but I had it in another place. - Who has it now ? Superintendent Mallou has it at present. When you got your revolver near Merrion Hall, where did Curley and you go to then I Into Merrion row, or at least into Westland row I mean.

You went back to Westland row—who did you meet there ? I met with Joseph Mullett, Joe Hanlon, Michael Fagan and Gerge Smith. The other man whose Christian name you did not know—was Molloy there when you came back ? Yes ; Molloy was there.

Did you ask anything of Curley as to what you were (o do, or anything of your business ? I told him I was brought there, and that I did not know what I was brought there for, and he told me Mullett would tell me. After a short time Mullett came up, and he told me there would be a scuffle in or about the chapel. He told me to stand there convenient to the chapel, and I asked him 1 Might I not stand as well where I was as there ’ (To the Clerk)—He pointed to me from where I stood where the scuffle would take place—and ‘Very well,’ he says, I was standing near the veterinary sur-

geon’s. Where were you actually standing at the time? At the veterinary surgeon’s (Hunter’s) ; the chappel was on the opposite side.

What did he say you were to do then ? He said that a scuffle would take place at the far side, and if the policeman at the station came up, and I considered he was going to arrest any of them, I was to shoot him ; but if I considered ho was not going to arrest anyone 1 was not to interfere,

Did you hear Mullett say anything to Molloy 1 Yes he gave him an envelope to write a name on it, and he went, I think, to the corner of Westland row and came back.

What name had ho put on the letter 1 I did not knew at the time, but Mullett afterwards told m» the name on it was W. J. Barrett. Whether there was any letter inside the envelope or not 1 am not sure. The letter was to be given to Mr Barrett by Mullett when he was crossing ing the street, and then he was to be attacked by Molloy. Did you bear Mullett say anything to Molloy about any other person 1 He spoke to myself or Molloy, and he said it would be a great thing if the two things could be done on the one night. 1 was on bis right at the time, and Molloy was on his left.
