PHOENIX PARK MURDERS.
' Sir, —In yours on above in yoUr issuo of Saturday last, 23rd . instant,. you state re some'of tho principals "that Carey was murdered ill South Africa." This is not correct, .as he was murdered by O'Donnell on the way to South Africa, oil one of the Castle Line steamers. The murder occurred 011 tho high Seas. That was how O'Donnell was taken back to England. If it had occurred in South Africa that country would have-, dealt with. it. I might mention that tho authorities had most of the • Inyincibles /in prison, beforo Carey .turned informer. 1 think tho authorities had the offer of two or three .informers in the lot;." Carey was frightened that Fitzharris '(otherwise fcikiii the Goat), Ayho was 'the cab-driver who drove the ; party that; carried out the deed away from the park; would tell. Carey, who'.Was a' prominent citizen' and personally knew Mr. Burke. gaVe the signal with'a - white handkerchief to the Invincibles ( ;tha,t their , man was approaching. , As: it was Mr. Burke they wanted out'of.the lyay, he was striken down first,, then Lord Cavendish was killed also, asthe Invincibles had. to leave no trace of thoir identity.—l am, etc., . ' THOS. M. MILLIGAN, , Taitville. ■Wellington, April'2s, 1910. j
