| How the Plot Failed.

/ROMANTIC STORY OF THE DETECTION OF THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST PARNELL.

| Lonpvon, Feb. 26.—From a gentleman }high in authority in the prosecution of the ; Parnell-T'imes case, a representative of the {Associated press heard the true story of | how the conspiracy against Parnell was de- jtected. It constitutes one of the most ro- ‘mantic and extraordinary narratives in the i history of politics. The evidence by which ithe conspiracy was exploded was sent to ; London from a distant point in the western ;portion of the United States. Without 'this evidence, complete in detail and in- 'vincible at every point, the Times would jundoubtedly have won, notwithstanding {the spuriousness of the letters. Up to July of last year Parnell, his counsel and colleagues were wholly at sea. They eur- saised, conjectured, investigated clews, and (found each of them false. They knew the jletters were forged, but the forgeries were 80 adroit, and the text of the letters, to say {nothing of their peumanship, was so like (the habitual phraseology of both Egan and |Parnell, that it was clear the crime had ‘been committed by some one having access }to the correspondence of both. But, al- {though the most astute detectives and the most ingenious of English solicitors were in the case, every effort to discover the forger proved futile, and Parnell and his con- ,fidents were, if not hopeless, at least, de- pressed and disheartened.

One day last July a young Irish-American priest, Rev. Maurice J. Dorney uf Chicago, LL., accompanied by Rev. Maurice Dunn ‘of the same city, sent his card in to Mr. Parnell in the House of Commons. When they met, Mr. Dorney informed Mr. Par- nell that he had a package to deliver, which wus placed in his hands the night before he sailed from New York. It contained, he jsaid, the evidence that would reveal the forgeries and identify the forger of the let- ters printed in the London Times. The circumstances under which he came to be the bearer was singular and almost acci- dental. He received a telegram from Alex- ‘ander Sullivan, of Chicago, whose name has figured prominently during the trial, asking him to meet Patrick Egan at a railway sta- tion in New Yerk the night before he was to sail for Liverpool. He did se, and was told the duty that had been imposed upon him. They sat up all night. The priest

LEARNED THE WHOLE STORY.

and was able to make it clear to Mr. Par- nell. He told Mr. Parnell he had carried that package with more solicitude than if it had been millions; for if it were lost, all the gold the Irish race gould send to help him in his trial could hot replace it. He expressed to him the anxiety of Egan and Sullivan for the safety of the package, and when its real nature and inestimable value became apparent to Parnell, the Home Rule leader was deeply affected. The de- pression which had been visible on his pale face for months began to soften, and during the recital of the story he yielded several times toemotion. When the story itself was over, he asked, with painful apprehen- sion, how many men in the United States knew what the package contained. Father Dorney replied that only Egan, Sullivan and himself were familiar with it, but that Patrick Ford, of the Irish World, would be taken into confidence by Egan. Mr. Par- ‘nell was delighted. He was solicitious for secrecy. But he said the gentleman named would understand the need of secrecy without a request or a word of cau- tion. A series of interviews followed, parti- cipated in by Father Dorney, Mr. Parnell, Sir Charles Russel and Messrs. Lewis and Labouchere.

The discovery that Pigott was the forger was made by Egan in Liacon, Neb., while detectives and experts were vainly trying to find a clue in Great Britain. Mr. Egan writes that he was sorely perplexed by the forged letters, fac-similes of which he got inthe London Times. The signature of

these attributed to him was remarkably; good. Expressions and all abbrevations| peculiar to him were in the text. He con-| sidered as a possible forger each of several men whom the Parnellites suggested or} suspected; but none of them could have| had letters from bim which would have! made the spurious concoction possible. He} recalled Richard Pigott, but he had been} sv long dead in politics and covered with accumulated shame that Egan dismissed him from his mind. He remembered that Pigott had been in forgeries many days be-| fore. But the idea that he might’ be con- cerned in these seemed absurd. In scratin- izing the forged fuac-similes he finally dis- covered that ene signed with his own) name was written avowedly at a certain ad-| dress in Paris, and the recollection flashed upon him that PIGOTT WAS THE ONLY MAN

to whom he had ever given it. Pigott had written to him, asking for s confidential) address to which he might send important | information, and Egan, concluding to learn} what it was, secured this address, which} proved the key to the forgeries. Egan, who | is methodical in habit, had saved his cor- : respondence for years. Instead of keeping , a letter press, it had been his custom to) write on the fly leaf of a letter received his' answer to it, and then copy the matter to! be sent to his correspondent. Thus he had} letter and answer together. He searched: his volume of letters until he tound Pigott’s, | By comparing them with the handwriting | on the forged letters, he saw that he had

ithe forger. He submitted letters written by | Pigott, to experts, together with the fac similes of the forged letters. They immed. iately detected characteristic peculiarities, which were comfirmed under the micro- jscope. Evan had Pigott’s letters and the | forgeries photographed, and started for Chi- |cago, where he placed all the letters before his friend, Alexander Sullivan, who is also a isolicitor. The brief was drawn up by him ‘and Sullivan in the Jatter’s office in Chi- cago. It related the chief incidents in | Pigott's career, and showed that he had lbeen a forger before. Years before, when

| Pigott tried to sell the Irishman (a news- bor,

paper) to Parnel] and Egan, he furnished an inventury, apparently authenticated by well-known Dublin accountants, showing the value of the property of the concern, Egan proved that the inventory was false, and that Pigott had forged the accouniant’s signatures to it. Pigott was caught in another similar transaction. In the oftice of Pigott’s newspaper was a man who con- tributed to the Boston Pilot. His no de plume was ** Leo.” After his death, a re- jative d vered that Patrick Donahoe, then editur of the Pilot, had remitted te ** Leo” a draft which his family never re- ceived, and thet Pigott had opened the letter taken t: raft intended for ‘‘ Leo,” FORGEY HIS INDORSEMENT,

and drawn the money. Pigott was compell- ed to disgorge. These facts Mr. Egan committed to writing. He had, meanwhile, ascertained the process by which Pizott made the spurious letters. He found among his papers some letters written by him in which entire sentences appeared that were in the forged letters. Pigott had treced these sentences carefully, word for word. Then he interpolated or added other sen- tences or phrases, completely changing the meaning of the whole letter, while preserv- ing the integrity of portions. Dates were also changed to make the criminal imterpo- lations applicable to illegal events. Egan also found letters by Mr. Parnell which had been similarly used. Photographs of all these, and of Pigott’s begging and black- mailing letters, were enclosed with the originals in the package, with the memv- randa recalling to Parnell all the circum- stances attending the writing or reception of each. This was the precious piece of luggage the young clergyman fetched to Parnell. Until it came, the Timee’ case was as invulnerable as fraudulently, No hint of the contents of the package ever became public until Mr. Parnell himself, in the interview he had with Pigott in the presence of La- bouchere and Lewis, asked Pigott certain questions, which disclosed to the culprit that evidence was secured convicting him of the crime. Pigott either reported his fears to the Times, or was watched by his detectives, and iraced into Parnell’s presence. Then he had to partially con- fess to his employers; and the Attorney- General and his colleagues then compelled Le Caron to testify and be as malignant as ssible, swearing that Parnell declared to Oaron that he favored armed revolution, and that Alexander Sullivan got him (Le Caron) into a secret revolutionary organi- vations. This was for the purpose of break- ing the force of Parnell’s information about Pigott’s antecedents. But Pigott had no suspicion of the overwhelming complete- ness of the knowledge conveyed in the package to Mr. Parneli, and did not real- ize, until he got into Sir Charles Russel’s clutches, that no calumny could impair the fatal effect upon him and on the Times case of what Parnell knew. Had Egan not made the discovery, the truth of the letters could have only been denied, but their falsehood could not have been demonstrat- ed. The situation would have been a Times victory, and the victory of the T'imes would have meant the ruin of Parnell, the home rule party, and the indefinite dis- credit of the liberals. ———0+ 9+ ———_________-

A House Burned.

A PLUCKY WOMAN SAVES THE LIVES OF HER TWO CHILDREN BY FLIGHT. woes

On one of the coldest days of last week, while the wind was blowing a small gale, accompanied with a heavy ground drift, the dwelling house of George Blazdel, of Dun- das Road, was discovered to be on fire. There was no one home at the time but two small chitiren and Mrs. Blazdel, who at once bravely went to work to extinguish the flames. She tried first to get on to the roof, through which the smoke was fast coming, but the ladder leading thereto was burned away, prevent- ing her from getting there. Taking in the situation at a glance, she began removing her household effects to what she consider- ed a safe distance trom the burning build- ing. These, along with a barrel of flour that had been taken home the day be- fore, were placed well to windward. Then picking up her two little children, the youngest of whom is only feur months old, she started in the direction of her next neighbor, who lived something over a mile away. After going a short distance, she looked back and saw that all her efforts to save the contents of the house were speedily coming tu naught, for the wind had sudden- ly hauled round and the flames were reach- ing out towards her heusehold effects, which soon caught fire and burned to cinders. Nothing daunted, she proceeded on her way, and at last, almost perished, succeeded in gaining shelter, thankful at the same time that although she was thus left suddenly homeless, she was not left friendless, ard better than all that, her own life, and the lives of the two little helpless ones so dear to her, had been so providentally spared, Mrs. Blazdel is a daughter of Mr. Murdoch McLeod, of Dun- das, who, it will be remembered, had his house also burned to ashes a little overa year ago,
