THE PHŒNIX PARK ASSASSINATIONS.

Carey’s Evidence. (From the Freeman’s Journal), [Continued.] Were you able to observe froin the top of the tram whether he did give the signal or failed to give it ? He failed to give it.

Where did you get off the tram 1 At the Victoria bridge.

Did you go across to where Curley was 1 Yes, to Silver street—the street going into Barrack street.

Did you hear Curley say anything to Bowles about not giving the signal 1 Certainly ; he wondered what brought me there. I told him that he was after passing. He could not believe it. I told him Rowlos did not give tho signal, and he was very much annoyed with Bowles,

STILL WATCHING FOE THE EX-CHIEF

SECRETARY,

Did you meet again that evening in any place near that 1 At four o clock at John street. That is a little lower down ? Yes. Did he pass that evening ? Not to my knowledge.

Was there any arrangement made that evening as to the cab 1 Yes, vre had a cab in Parliament street, waiting to drive on before him

Who was the driver on the cab then 1 Fitzharris.

Who was the occupant ? Rinkle,

That is the man that is in America. What was the color of his horse that evening 1 I cannot remember, the horses were changed ; but i am sure it was not a white one, I think it was not—it changed every second day. On the sth May he had a white one, and on the 6th a brown. Used he sometimes drive a white horse when out on those expeditions t He used very often. After that did you meet him in Brunswick street for the same purpose 1 Half a dozen times.

On any of these occasions had the gentleman a guard with him, or any mounted guard, do you recollect 1 No, On no occasion had he a mounted guard On the quay there were several times horse police passing by. Easter Saturday was one day, and two occasions at least before that they used to be bringing ammunition out to the Park.

It was the accidental passing then that prevented you ? One time coming back, after leaving the ammunition above, and twice coming with the ammunition in charge. They used to meet on the one spot.

Do you recollect Curley at any tim# giving you an account of the last evening that Mr Forster was here, the evening that he was going away ? I did not want an account of that ; I was there myself three nights—one after the other.

Where —at Westland row? Between that and the Castle—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday—four nights. Four nights in succession 1 And days. Only Sunday evening at live o’clock, and up to eleven at night again. And then on Monday were you searching for him in the morning or evening 1 At the mail boat and in the evening,

And Tuesday 1 Morning and evening, and Wednesday until Thursday evening. We adjourned after the mail boat went, and then came back at nine o’clock for the last train.

On Tuesday were you there for the mail boat again ? I met him myself in Dame street ; he was coming down with a gentleman ; we adjourned until a quarter to six or six o’clock on Tuesday, Then did you watch for the mail boat that evening 1 I watched him that evening, I met him in Dame street ;my arm touched his ; he was accompanied by a tall young gentleman ; they went into the post-office in College green at five minutes to six o’clock—the telegraph office.
