THE PARNELL INQUIRY.
EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENCE.
FENIANISM AND LEAGUEISM. Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.Copyright.
London, May 30. Before the Times-Parnell Commission Joseph G. Biggar, M.P. for Cavan W., admitted that he belonged to the Fenian organisation, but denied that he was ever an Invincible. He condemned outrage. Arthur O'Connor, M.P. for Donegal E., giving evidence before the Commission, disclaimed any knowledge of the League's books. He approved of boycotting the land-grabbers.
Justin McCarthy admitted giving Byrne his cheque for £100 in exchange for another cheque of a similar amount shortly before he fled to the Continent. He did not consider boycotting intimidation even if by it caretakers were deprived of their means of living. He undertook to produce the cash-book of the English branch of the League.
Mr. G. Lewis, solicitor for the defence, declared that he had produced all the books of the League which were obtainable. He had never inquired for letters, cheques, and records of the Land or National Leagues.
The Times seeks to postpone Mr. Parnell's action until the Commission has sent in its report.
