The trial of Joe Bendy , charged with murdering Cavendish and Burke , was resumed this morning. Jamoa Carey was again placed on the witness stand and cross- examined by the counsel for the de fense , who elicited the information that when plotting the murder with the otlnr accused mon ho was a mem ber of u society which received the .sacrament at stated periods. Carey also etatod ho was promised a pardon before ho determined to give evidence against his follow consplratirs. A photograph was handed Carey whloh the witness immediately identified as that of the man known aa "Number 1. " Carey was one of the prime movers lu the murder of Burke but was under compulsion during the time directly preceding the event. Being closely interrogated by counsel on this point , Carey finally admitted he was not nnder compulsion when ho pointed out Burke to the assassins and nrgod the murderers to remember the map clad in a gray suit was Burke. Wit ness said , although he had for sixteen years been working for wages averag ing only two pounds a week , he had , in 1883 , ninety tenants occupying his various houses. C mnsol for defense brought out in sharp contrast to the points made by the crowu , that Carey drove with his children to thu door of the church in FJtzharria' cab , on the 6th of May ; that he was the iirat man to suggest daggers to be used and afterwards anKKestod the woapiuB with which tha crime wai committed should be put on oxhl- bltlou its nitloail ratios. The answer of witness to questions concerning promises of pardon Wuro given with muck hesitation. Finally ho said ho had been informed by Mallon , chief of th'j detectives , if hlsevldenca should be given frealy to the state and bo confirmed by others , he and his brother would be p&rdonod. This statement caused a sensation. The attention of Carey being called to fho trifling details discovered lately re garding the movements of FUzhntris' cab in the park on thi day of the murder and whloh had not been given bwttnets , 'Carey remarked slgnlfi oantly , that he had so far only answered the questions put to hiiu by counsel , and he could if unrestricted and aa he desired to , tell a great doil more. The cross-examination of Carey waa very severe and eearohing. Counsel for defense remarking on the witness testimony said Carol's hands were steeped in blood. Oarey , "That is not true. " Subsequently Carey said he was only telllog half of what he knew , and was more friendly to counsel for the de fense than counsel himself was awato of , and told counsel to boar in mind he was not telling everything ho knew against his client. Counsel vehemently protested it was his wish to have no friendly inter course with the witness , and he wanted no favor from him. Joseph Smith i another of the accused , who turned Informer , repeated the story of his doings In Prcsalx park aa related by James 0rey at the preliminary hear ing. South said he was a worn in as an Invincible three weeks before the murder. The Invlnclbles had a secret sign by whloh they recognlzod each other , which was the holding of a knife in the palm of the hand. Michael Eavanagh , who drove the oar on whloh the murderer * rode , re peated his former evidence substan tially in the same language. Ho made a material amendment , however , saying it waa Smith , not Ddlany , whom he drove to the soane of the murder with Carey. His previous statement was a mistake. His testi mony showed it was Brady who di rected him where to drive and who designated the place for him to wait for the murderers. The physicians who examined the bodies of Cavendish and Burke then gave evidence relative to the nature of the wounds. The case for the prosecution closed at 3 o'clock. The case for the defence then opened. Counsel for defence spoke for an hour. His argument was la support of an alibi for the prisoner. Oonnsel denounced C trey's villainy In having betrayed the mon whom ho hid seduced into commission of crlmo. The Informers , ho said , contradicted each other on Important points. The rule w/is / Infamous that Informer * ' tes timony unaccompanied by any other evidence should bo accepted. Inter ested ovldonoo must be corroborated by disinterested testimony In this case auoh evidence wan lacking. Annie Moaphor deposed that she was with Brady at her uncle's homo on the Gh at 5 p. m. , and again from 6:45 : until 8 In the over-ing. The keeper of .the public house , named Little , deposed that Brady was in his house at 4 ia the afternoon , and again at 8:45 In the evening of the Gth of May. The cross-examination , how ever , elicited the fact that LUtlo's house waa the regular rendezvous of Invlnclbles. At G the court adjourned , It Is cxpooted a verdict will ba ren dered early to-morrow. James Mnllett , another of the prls- IK / > , ' 'situ. I _ _ V ' ' !

Special Dlepatch to Tni Gn. * - LONDON , April 12 Norman , Gal- laghcr , ; DiltouVilnon , Oartlu and Aiubnr'ii were taken to Bow street pollco court this morning iu n prison van , driven at a rapid pace and ac companied by u guard of armed pollco und mounted ccmoUbloo. A large crowd followed the prisoners to the court house. The whole route was lined with policemen and every precaution - caution to prevent rescue waa taken. The prisoners appeared perfectly calm. The prisoners were arraigned before Judge lugham. Smith , Gould & Qnrney appeared for the defense. Poland , opening for the prosecution declared there was no doubt , in view of the evidence ob tained by tbo authorities that a con spiracy waa In existence in America , the purpose of which was the destruc tion of public buildings in this coun try that the factor invoked by the oonapirators wan dynamite ; that some mon now on trial iu court osino from the United States for thu purpose of putting their echenna into operation ; that they had been furnished the rneaun and men to establish the recent ly dUcoverud dynamite manufactory In Birmingham , and ( that Gallagher , Wilson and Norman vlaited the mt'- nfaeturor VVhltehead , at his place in Birmingham , withtho purpose of send ing to London a supply of explosives. In this connection the dates ware an important link iu the chain of evi dence. Norman on the 22ad of March went to Enston square to llvo. He remained fourteen days , then on April 2nd went to Birmingham , say ing hb was going to get his luggage. He did not return at the appointed time. His plan was without doubt changed while in Birmingham , and it was decided'ho should take a package of nitro-glyoerlue to the Southampton street hotel where Gillagher hired a room for Noiman Tao latter telegraphed - graphed to Gallagher on the sixth oi April ho would return to his quarters at E as ton square. He did come back aud at Enston square a man look the box brought by Norman containing some bags of nltro-glycarlno and sent thorn at the place In Southampton street where tlio police subsequently made the arrests. Poland proposed to show that Norman and Wllaan ropaatedly communicated with Gallagher , known as Fletcher. Poland Intimated he would ask the ptisoners bo remanded for a weekf so ho might become informed of the pro ceeding in other parts of the kingdom where similar cases were being ex amined. He also intimated the charge against these men would be changed from a comparatively simple one on which they are now arraigned to the serious off nee of conspiracy. And a it was decided by 'a band' cf men to efftot the objects of conspiracy re gardless of the loss of Ufa whloh would result , it was a question which ouly the magistrate could deoldo whether they wore not indictable for conspiracy to murder , Possible furthermore - more , that at a future stage in this proceeding a charge would be lodged against them nnder the treason felony act Gould said ho watched the case for Gallagher , whose counsel would be engaged hereafter. A lot of paper * wore put in evidence , Including the catalogue of a chemical firm In Birm- Inghoiuj The latter waa found at Norman's lodgings. It contained full directions formakins : dynamite. The proprietor of the hotel where Norojan waa atopping when arrested waa brought fare to feco with Gilla/her / , and testified that to thb bast of his belief he was the person who , under the name of Fletcher , several times virttod Norman. The daughter of the hotel proprietor , from whom Oal lager engactid rooms for Norman , pea { lively Identified him as Fletcher. The proprietor of the hotel at which Anobargh stopped Identified Gallagher as the man who had visited Ansburgb. The clerk at the Charing Grose hotel , where Gallagher boarded , failed to roco ulz3 any of the prisoners as the men who vlaltod Gallagher.
