Special Dispatch to Tni Bn. DUBIIN , April 10. The trial of Joe Brady ou the charge of murdering Cavendish and Barko , was begun this morning. Notwithstanding the fact that It was known that all absentees wonld bo fined 100 , many jurors on the panel failed to appear. The cato for the crown was opened by Porter. DOIILIN , April 11. Porter , crown counsel , In opening , described the Phce.ilx park crlmo aa of unparaloled atrocity a crime that had shocked the whole clvilieod world. He re counted with vivid imagery the well known details of the affair , paid a warm tribute to the character and life of Barke and Cavendish , gave partlo- olars of the organization of the In- vlnclblos who , he said , doubtless look ed upon themselves as an invincible band , bnt the law was stronger than all these connected with the plot and looked upon them as guilty in the eyes of God , as was Brady. He de clared the object of the conspiracy was to "remove" all whom they regarded aa tyrants , probably with the ultimate purpose of forming a republic , of which the four original leaders of the mnrdtronn gang , Mullet , McCaffrey , Oarley and Carey wonld bo the loadIng - Ing tpirltp. He referred to Sheridan's share In the crime , hia undertaking to provide arms when there should be a call for them Brady and men of hlo class vi-ora among those always ore- pared for murder , bnt they were with out doubt entirely Indifferent aa to the ultimate objects of that murder. Brady was at hand when the various ambushes were laid for Forster. Counsel for the defense Interposed an earnest protest against the crown counsel being suffered by the oonrt to prejudice the jury against the prisoner , Brady , by making assertions like these , whioh could not be proved , IL'he judge refused to .interfere. Porter-conolnding , dcolared Carey wonld be put upon the witness stand , There was no absolute rnlo of law which wonld prevent the court from accepting his evidence unaccompanied by any other testimony , but there certainly oonld bo no valid objection when , as wonld happen In the present case , there wonld bo produced con elusive and corroborating evidence to fortify Carey's. This case should teach one lesson , that there conld be tv n honor among members of such so- iety. The men who had Instigated It and warmed It Into life ; the men who had supplied it with funds , which en- conraged It to carry on Its designs , had Had to foreign lands. If there was any further proof required of how the conspirators deserted those unlawfully - lawfully leagued with them It was fur nished by the fact that the crown had even in this case been compelled to provide means for defending Brady from ibis terrible oharge. Tin first witness called was Farrell , the informer , who testified at the pre liminary examination of tbo prisoners In Kllmalnham court house. He repeated the testimony given at that time. Daring the examination of Parrell , counsel , for the prisoner again pro tested agalns : the introdustlon of matters foreign to the present charges relating onlv to attempts made against the life of Fjrstar. Judge O'Brien said only such evidence donco waa admissible in the present case as tended to connect the prisoner with conspiracy. Farrell's evidence went to show that Brady was associated with memborq of the Inner circle and was secretary to Oarley. James C rey waa the next witness , and his evidence was the same as before fore given. Carey was in the nitneas box an hoar and three qnarten. He gave a detailed account of the forma tion of the Invlnclbles , bat was not allowed to go Into the plots against the lives of Forster and Eirl Cowpor. While Corey was testifying , Brady followed the evidence closely and frequently sent not'a to his solicitors. CUrey became perfectly cool ia de meanor. Towards the clone of his evidence ono of the knives found in Rlngleud basin waa produced that Carey might identify an the ouo nup piled by Sheridan from London.
