I can recall it without difficulty, as it was on the following evening that I went to the theatre--a rare occurrence with me.
I was running up the stairs when I met a man coming down.

I recognized the prisoner as that man.

He said, "I have killed your editor." I replied, "Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself." We had no further conversation.
J.O'Leary is next called.

He says: I am an Irishman by birth.

I had to fly my country when an iniquitous Coercion Act was put in force.
At present I am a journalist, and I write Fenian letters for the _St.
Johns Gazette_.
