THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1889. A TALE OF DYNAMITE Graphically Belated by In former Beach Before THE PAMELL COMMISSION. -. Desperate Attempt to Prove That Ire land's Champion is" AX ALLYOFPOEITICAL MURDERERS A Cold Stab at Eossa and His Claims as an Organizer. I THE SECRET MEETING IX HTTSBUEG The. evidence Riven by Informer Beach before the Parnell Commission yesterday was of a sensational character. He re vealed his connection with the various secret organizations in the United States "which were working for Ireland's freedom. He spoke of the work of the Boston Con vention, and of a secret meeting held in Pittsburg. The Attorney General sought to prove by the witness that while Parnell and his colleagues may have had no connec tion with the Peniaa outrages, yet they chose the perpetrators, knowing their character, as allies. I Loxdox, February 7. Upon the re sumption of the sitting of the Parnell Com mission to-day the witness Beach made a correction in the testimony he gave yester dav. He said it was Bovton whom he saw at the Philadelphia Convention in 18b3, and not SheridaiJ as he testified yesterday. The latter only arrived in America in 18SL Attorney General "Webster read a portion of the Constitution of the "U. S." Beach explained the symbols standing for secretary and treasurer, the secretary a being a double square, with one right-angle placed over the other, while the treasurer's was a cross. In March, 1884, witness at tended a district convention oi the "U. S.," where he saw Sullivan and Lomasey. Attorney General AVebster asked the wit ness'what services Lomassey had rendered that the brotherhood should support his family. "Witness explained that a convention of the reunited sections, now known as the 'TJ. B.," was held in June, 18S8, when a delegate from Detroit, where the widow of Lomassey lived, introduced the subject OBJECTED TO THE EVIDENCE. Sir Charles Russell asked the Court whether this was evidence against the Par nellites. Attorney General "Webster held that these organizations were really all one, and that the evidence was admissible because Egan, Sheridan and others were dbectly connected with the LE.B. ana the I. IT. B. Sir Henry James also contended that the witness' alleged conversation with Parnell made his evidence admissible. Parnell had requested the witness to do certain things when lie am red in America, and it had been proved that the request was carried out. Therefore tbc first step was to demonstrate the nature of the society with vi hich it was alleged Parnell desired an alliance. What was about to be proved was the acts of the association with which Parnell desired to come into line. Having butParnell'snew before the court, and supposing they showed that money was pro cured for dynamite, and proved that dynamite received sympathy froniv this body bv being recompensed, that would'be one act which, if brought home to the knowledge of individuals, would permit of no question belngraised. They would prove these acts., and the notorious character of the body with which an alliance was sought was shown by its acts, and the one they desired to prove at present was lelevant and pertinent. UNTIL THE END OF TIME. Sir Charles Russell said that the Attorney General's theory made Parnell and his asso ciates affected by the actions of the U. B. or the B. C. to the end of time. Mr. Reid said that the Attorney General, before proving proceedings in America against the . Parncllites, should produce more definite evidence of the arrangement and conduct of the conspiracy, and in a spirit other than that in which the evidence had so Jar been tendered. It was not sufficient to show conversations, innocent in themselves, without proving guilty knowledge of such ob ject as was coniempiaiea. Attorney General Webster said he bad never been prepared to suggest that Jlr. Parnell or other members of Parliament were personally connected with murderous outrages. His con tention was that they were allied with people whom they knew to be, or could have known, if they had made rroper inquiries, to have been prominently connected many jeans with such outrages. The Attorney General read the evi dence given yesterday, and asked why he was not allowed to introduce similar evidence to day to show what the U. R. was doing in 1SSL although not by direct mandate or specific instructions. He did not contend that ilr. Parnell and his associates planned murders, but that they allied themselves intimately with the I. R. B., and availed themselves of its money. Knowing the character of the I. R. B. they continued their alliance with it after most distinct and positive notice. VERY HARMONIOUS. It had been proved that several members of the House of Commons attended four or five League Conventions in America where the I. B. B. controlled the proceedings, and the har mony bet een them was referred to in a docu ment read at the convention, in which the hope was expressed that the tree which Davitt had planted in Mayo, might grow until it had grown into an organization that would effect Ireland's freedom. The Court decided to admit the evidence on the ground that the U. B. and the Clan-na-Gael and the L It. B. were practically the same body and united, the members of one being interchangeable upon the others. It bad been proved that certain persons, including Egan, Brcnnan and Sheridan among the per sons charred, were members of the I. R. H. Evidence, not of one member's conversation with another, but as to what was done in the convention of the U. B would be evidence against them. Other persons, especially the members of Parliament whom Sir Charles Russell presented, stood in a different position, and the Court would abstain from saving any thing regarding the applicability of this evil dence against them, but the evidence was ad mlssible. Beach then continued his testimony. He said that Luke Dillon, Egan, Devoy, Samuel Morns and D. O'Mahon Connor attended the convention, which unanimously ordered the executive toprotect Lomassey'e familv. Attorney-General Webster said "he only wished to complete the reference to Lomassey by proving the adoption of this resolution. THE BOSTON CONVENTION. Beach, continuing, said that he accompanied Egan and other delegates to the Boston Con Tention, which was held in August, ISM. EgaD explained his escape and told how he received Information from Dublin Castle regarding the Intended movements of the authorities. He knew of the order of an est for him 20 minutes after it was issued, and immediately returned home, packed his satchel and destroyed all the documents in his possession concerning the L R. B. and Carey's letters. A Scotch friend took Ills satchel and rng to the railway station and bought a ticket for him to Belfast. Egan boarded the train a minute before it started. He passed the nicht in a Belfast hotel and In the morning took a ticket for Leeds. He left the train at Manchester, proceeded to Hull and took a steamer for Rotterdam. Beach further said that Egan had told him that Brennan got the first news of his (Brcn nan's) being Implicated by a newspaper placard referring to Carey's evidence againbt him. Brennan was walking in the Strand with Lord Mayor Sexton at the time. Thev crossed the street, turned into a side alley and separated. Brennan went home and packed his valise. Bexton bought a ticket for Calais, and went with it from Charinc Cross to London bridge, here he mot Brennan, to whomhe transferred the ticket The same night Brennan landed at Calais. rEgan also told the witness that John Walsh and Dennis McCarthy were sent to Australia to assist Fenian prisoners there to escape. He also mentioned Ryan. Matt Harris, Boyton, Sheridan, Nicholas Tie and James O'Connor, and bitterly denounced Samuel Anderson, the Government prosecuting official. Egan also said that if Gallagher had been tree for 48 hours longer some of the best buildings in London would have been blown up. A STRUGGLE TOK OFFICE. Sir Charles Russell here quoted from a letter written by Beach, in which the latter referred to the difficulty any one in a large organization encountered in being appointed to office. Beach said ho was elected chairman of the Illinois delegates before he wrote the letter. Another organization, a seceding faction, then existed. According to the Irish motto, 'If you are not for you are forninst me," it was im possible to belong to both organizations. Wit ness wrote the letter desiring to explain that he was unable to carry water on both shouldors. Bctts was president of the preliminary secret meeting of the Boston-convention of ISM, where witness met Tynan with Devoy, John Bojle O'Reilly, Dermond and Walsh. Witness knew Tynan as Number One. He identified a photo graph of Tynan. Tynan was not present at the secret meetings, but he attended the open meetings. Ho did not take a prominent part. Sexton, J. Redmond and Mrs. Parnell attended the convention. Attorney General Webster quoted Sexton's speech to show that he knew Alexander Sulli van. Sir Charles Russell quoted a resolution passed by the convention approving of Mr. Par nell and the Irish Commoners conduct and promising moral and material aid against land lordism. Beach said ho knew that Egan was a member of the U. B. in 1S&3, and believed that he had since continued to be a member. He did not know -whether Ecan joined the L R. B. after his expulsion in 1SSD. Tim Moroncy, Gorman, Flatley and Toland were members of the U. B. Eight of the 13 principal officers of the Ameri can League were members of the U. B Wit ness identified a report, dated September 24, lSI, congratulating the members upon the in creased strength of the organization and upon having connected all the broken links in the open convention with the secret power which originated and controlled all their actions. Tho Executive, the report said, intended to plant the seeds in everyland. Strict silence con cerning the work was enjoined upon the mem bers. KOSSA CLAIMED TOO MUCH. Beach declared that Rossa falsely claimed that he did the work of the organization. Wit ness compiled a key to the U. S. symbols for the Judge's information. Beach produced a copy of a circular signed by Egan, and dated January, 18S5, forbidding one camp sending a circular to another. The circular said that all communications must be made through headquarters. The Irish-American League issued a document on June 17, 1SS3, urging the members of the "TJ. S." to subscribe to the Parliamentary fund. It declared that Mr. Parnell bad defeated a strong British Gov ernment and banished Earl Spencer and his brutal, loathesome minions. A circular issued on July 2o expressed disappointment at the small amount of funds received and urged re newed exertion. A circular issued in Novem ber, lfcSo, asked that funds be transmitted to Dr. O'Reilly, and announced that a convention would be held at Chicago iu ISSfi hich Mr. Par nell would attend. It warned members not to talk of -U. S." matters outside, and said that babblers would be expelled. Witness wished to tear some private memo randa from the circulars. Sir Charles Russell objected and the Court sustained the ob jection. Witurs said he visited the Southern States in November, 18S5, with a letter from Egan, de scribing him as a most devoted friend of the Irish Nationalists. This testimony was greeted with laughter, in which the witness heartily joined. In one circular, witness said, mention was made of the expulsion of Dr. Cronan for trea son to Ireland, and tbc violation of his oath of obligation. Beach was on the committee that tried Cronan. At this point Mr. Parnell entered. He took a scat by the side of Mr. Da-ritt, with whom he conversed for some time. DYNAMITE DELUSION. "Egan," the witness continued, "presided at League meetings m ISSi and 1S85. A circular issued in March, 1SS6, referred to the 'emascu lated and unacceptable home rule scheme, and urged the camps to remit funds for 'delusion,' the cipher word for dynamite.-" Beach described the Chicago convention of August, ISSa. He said that Messrs. O'Brien, Redmond and Deasy were present at a secret meeting held in Pittsburg before the conven tion, at which the Irish National Brotherhood was formed. Witness went to England in 1SS7, and met Mr. Fox, a member of Parliament. At the joint convention of the L N. B. and L U. B. held in Chicago in June, 1SSS, it was urged that measures be taken for the release of Gal lagher and other prisoners in England. Patrick Farrelf, of Pottsville, and John M. Armstrong, members of the convention, went to England in June, 18S5. The organization was better on paper than iu reality. Many of the members did not pay their dues. Sir Charles Russell then began the cross-examination of tho witness. Beach said he went to America in 1SBL He had previously been in France, and was a draper's assistant in London and Colchester. After his arrival in America he joined the army. He became a Fenian in lSGa, while still iu the army. His object was to outam an me iniormation possible. lie swore LATBNEWSJN BEEF. Fire in Auburn, N.
