Patrick Delancy, a convict connected with tho Phoenix Park murders, in giving evidence before tho Commission, sworo that tho Invincibles received enormous sums of money from the Land ueagues, besides expensive arms. He was personally sworn to murder Earl Spencer, the Viceroy of Ireland, Lord Cavendish, and all obnoxious officials. The witness stated that during two fruitless attempts to murder Mr. W. E. Forster, and also during tho Phoenix Park tragedy, his special orders were to shoot all intruders who might interfere with the assassins at their work. At another time he was ordered to murder Judge Lawson, who would have been killed if witness had not warned a detective. Frank Byrne told tho murderers they need not be afraid of having to step work for want of money.
