‘The Evidence Summed Up.

Lonpon, Feb. 16.—This week’s Parnell Commission proves even more exciting than last. Major Le Caron’s cross-examination ‘on Tuesday was indeed in one sense disap- pointing. Sir Charles Russell could make nothing of him. story, Mr. Parnell’s counsel did not find them. Major Le Caron held his own to the last. His coolness and self-possession, his deliberate method and his tantalizing thoughtfulness before almost every impor- tant answer, never failed him. Sir Charles gave him up after two hours further trial on Tue-day, and Major Le Caron left court without a sear. When Sir Charles failed, Mr. Reid and Mr. Lockwood, who uried their feeble hands, were not likely to suc- ceed; nor didthey. As the witness stepped down from the box a murmer of admiration saluted him. Even those who wholly dis- {sent from what Major Le Caron called the moral view of his position joined in the itribute to him as a witness. Myr. Soames, ithe Times’ solicitor, who succeeds tu Major Le Caron’s place in public attention, is

‘not comparable to him as an occupant of the witness box. Solicitor though he be, | Mr. Soames was at first hurried, not to say

‘flurried, in manner. Major Le Carron’s short, sharp sentences echoed through the j}room like sognany pistol shots. sMr. Soames | was indistinct, unready, nervous, confused lin phraseo'ogy. His testimony, however, jopened that branch of the case which one section of the public has long been waiting

for.

MR. PARNELL’S FRIENDS

have from the beginning insisted that the letters were the vital point of the whole business. If the letters were forgeries, the whole case against the Home Rule leader collapses. That was their contention. A good deal has happened since it was first put forward, and it can hardly be urged now with the same confidence ; but it is still urged. Mr. Soames’ admission that the letters came from Mr. Pigott, once a Fenian, though Mr. Houston, secretary of the Irish Loyal and Patriot League, dis- c!osed in open court what had long been an open secret to Mr. Parnell’s legal advisers. Indeed, many of Mr. Soames’ statements were so many old stories to them, though not tu the public. They hold it damaging to the Times that over $20,009 should have been paid on account of these letters. The amount strengthens, in their view, the presumption of forgery. The revelation that Mr. Flanagan, son of an Irish judge, is the actual and Crime” articles is curious, rather than important, except to Mr. Flanagan, It was the second day of Mr. Soames’ examiua- tion that brought out the most sensational incidents. Mr. Soames by this time had got used to his novel position as a witness, something like even

terms.

THK MOST DAMAGING FACT

which came out in cross-examination was the fact that the 7'imes took their alleged letters without attempting to trace their history. Both Mr. Soames and Mr. Mac- donald, the J'imes manager, admitted that no such attempt was made. They were con- tent with the testimony of a single expert in hanwriting, and with their own convic- tion of the genuineness of the letters. This will not do fur the public. The evidence of experts will go for little. What the public wants to know is where the letters from,and through whose hands they passed. A complete statement must come from somebody, and that somebody can only be Mr. Pigott, who sold them to Mr. Houston or to Mr. Maguire. Mr. Pigott has not yet entered the witness-box in person, but Mr. Soames’ statements with reference to him are startling. Mr. Pigott denies to Mr. Soames having told Mr. George Lewis that he (Mr. Pigott) forged the letters. He

but he denied it. He alleges what is still more startling, that Mr. Labouchere offered him (Mr. Pigott) $5,000 to swear that he forged them. Mr. Labouchere appears again and again in the business. Mr. Soames had Mr. Pigott followed by detec- tives, and Mr. Pigott, a Times witness, was found to be in communication with the other side. Letters passed between him and Mr. Lewis and Mr. Labouchere.

by Mr. Labouchere more than once. He | was followed to Mr. Labouchere’s house, and seems finally to have told the Times what passed between him and Mr. Labou- chere. He told other things besides

chere had sent him. At least two inter- views occurred at Mr. Labouchere’s house in Grosvenor Gardens, Mr. Pigott, Mr. Parnell, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Laboucliere all present at one, if not both. Mr. Labou- chere appears again in connection with what Mr. Soames calls an attempted plant on the Times by an Irish solicitor, Mr. O’Brien with various aliases. He offered to give information, but Mr. Soames was tov sharp for him, set detectives on him, \found him, too, at Mr. Labouchere’s house; and found that Mr. Labouchere had sent Mr. O’Brien to Dublin to see Mr. Pigott. Any comments on these statements would i be premature. Mr. Labouchere’s answer ltothem has yet to be made. Why Sir ‘Charles Russeil should have chosen to bring lout in cross-examination disclosures which

'on their face are injurious to his friends is | pot understood. Mr. Soames got some of \pre in adroitly, but it was Sir Charles whe

‘** We have to record the death of Dr. Jamez Matthews, who died on Friday, at the eom- paratively early age of 52. The deceased gen- tleman had resided here during the last 20 years, and was widely known as a_ kind and skillful practitioner, until his failing health compelled him to retire alinost entirely from the active practice of his profession. Among his patien*s he numbered many wealthy and influent: . residents of this neighborhood, but equally cijoyed the re spectiand confidence of all classes of the community, and many of his poor patients will mourn the loss of a true friend. As.’ hwarden, and as a trustee of the National ©chool of this parish, he had served his generation for many years. On Men- day last his remains were laid to rest in the graveyard of the parish church with every token of respect to his memory, and of sympathy with his bereaved relatives. In the funeral cortege we noticed three sons of the deceased, Dr. Davies (his locum tenens) and several of his more intimate friends. As it entered the church, the Dead March from *‘ Saal” was playe:l on the organ. The service was most impressively read by the Vicar, Rev. W. M. Shaw, M. A.

The would-be assassins have been caught. The man who is dying is married and leaves 'a pretty young widow and infant only a few days old. The other victim is single. -

INVESTMENT.—A correspondent |writes: **While the Rev. J. D. McLeod was conducting evangelistic services at | Margaret in December, he one evening, in ‘strong language, condemned the use of to , bacco. One person in the congregation was de ply convinced that for him to c n- tinuve 10s use woul i I onseious of his own weakness he asked ¢ sod for strength the evil” and that all desire for tohacco m ght be taken away. His prayer was answered, and as he had annually spent at least $6 in this self-indulgence, he determined that during i that amount should be given yearly to the P. E. Island Hospital. A few the first instalment of $3 was forwarded to the treasurer, per Mrs. R. Johnson, and to-day she acknowledges the receipt of the second good investment of the other 33, with the assurance thatin January of cach following year during his life-time the $6 will be forthcoming. This example is worthy of imitation.
