(Per Press Association.)
(Received 1 p.m., April 12th.)
London, April 11,
Continuing his opening speech before the Times-Parnell Commission, Sir Chas. Russell charged The Times with criminal negligence in respect to the publication of the letters alleged to have been written by Mr Parnell and others. He said that he did not believe that The Times knew that the letters were forged, but they were careless and reckless iu publishing them in the manner they did. Sir Charles complained of the ungenerious terms in which the apology made by The Times was couched when they discovered that the letters were forged. Sir Charles stated further that without the assistance of the Commission Mr Parnell would have unrelentlessly unmasked the conspiracy leading to the manufacture of the letters. Ho alleged that Mr Shannon, one of the solicitors employed by The Times, connived at Pigott’s escape.
