THE CONDEMNED MEN.
The condemned men, Caffrey and l'enn, are at present in a somewhat depressed condition, Caffrey being the most so. One of Penn'a sisters visited him on Saturday, and probably his mother will do so during the week. At the request of Caffrey's mothor, the Kev. Fathor < >'Gara, 0 5.8., forwarded a message to Caffrey, to know if he desired hi« spiritual ministry'ions. Caffrev's mother is a Catholic, but it is not known whether his father was one or not. At all events, Caffrey appears to have been brought up with an aunt who bolonged to the Church of England, and he has since leaned to that faith. He declined the rev. gentleman's services, expressing himself satisfied with the services of the chaplain to the gaol. Neither of the prisoners, so far aa we can Understand. have been visited within the last few days by their counsel at the late trial.
