debates in Parliament, and his release demanded by the Irish members
on the ground of his being the victim of a wrong conviction, I think
it well to state that his sentence and the subsequent refusal of the
Home Secretary to accede to these demands, were based on letters
written by him to the notorious J. J. Breslin of the Revolutionary
Committee of the Clan-na-Gael, and now in existence among the records
of the Home Office.
[4] See Appendix (I.).
[5] John Devoy, in the course of a speech delivered at Cheltenham
Beach prior to the death of Mr. Parnell, made the following statement
as regards the Cronin affair:—
“The men to whom I refer and whom I charge to be in alliance with the
men who instigated the murder of Dr. Cronin, are Michael Davitt and
John O’Connor, one of the members from Tipperary. (Cheers and cries
of Hear, hear). I say here that there is a combination between the
coterie which brought about the murder of Dr. Cronin and the Davitt
clique in Ireland, to oust Mr. Parnell from the leadership and place
Michael Davitt in his place. In Michael Davitt’s sworn testimony
before the Parnell Commission, he said, I sought out John Devoy,
because I heard he was going to make trouble in the Convention,
so that I might learn his plans and frustrate them.’ I am glad of
that admission from Michael Davitt himself, and for the payment of
a thousand dollars given to him for one speech in Ogden’s Grove,
and the full proceeds of a lecture tour given throughout the United
States under the auspices of the Triangle. The Cronin murder was as
much a part of the infamous work of this alliance to down Parnell,
and to down every man in this country who believes in giving his
movements a fair, full, and reasonable trial, as the puffs of Michael
Davitt at a thousand a puff.”
In corroboration of Devoy’s statement, I find in the financial
report of the Clan-na-Gael the sum of one thousand dollars charged;
and while Mr. Davitt had for some years disassociated himself from
the party of violence, he does not appear to have been averse to
receiving a portion of their spoils. Mr. Davitt may plead, as other
well-known Irish patriots have done, that he did not know the source
from whence this money was derived; but no man was in a better
position to have found out than he, had he so desired.
[6] See Appendix (II.).
[7] The Coroner’s jury brought in a verdict of “wilful murder”
against Alex. Sullivan, and he was formally arrested, but
subsequently released, for want of sufficient evidence against him.

and SIR CHARLES DILKE. In One Volume, 4to, Illustrated. [_Nearly

In this narrative, which is reprinted from the pages of _Black
and White_, an attempt is made to forecast the course of events
preliminary and incidental to the Great War which, in the opinion of
military and political experts, will probably occur in the immediate
future.
The writers, who are well-known authorities on international politics
and strategy, have striven to derive the conflict from its most
likely source, to conceive the most probable campaigns and acts of
policy, and generally to give to their work the verisimilitude and
actuality of real warfare. The work has been profusely illustrated
from sketches by Mr. Frederic Villiers, the well-known war artist.
=THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENEMIES.= As pleasingly exemplified in

M‘NEIL WHISTLER. _A New Edition._ Pott 4to, half cloth, 10_s._

of view.”
