By the Right Honorable Sir Edward Clarke, K. C. Published by E. P. Dutton & Co. This autobiography harks back to those golden days of the Victorian era when, for the most part, life was pleasant in its unchanging course even amid the hurly-burlof notable political issues. It was an era that produced some of Englands greatest men in science, art, poetry and politics. It was then that Sir Edward was a distinguished figure at the bar and claimed as his friends many of the noble company of intellectual giants. The author refers at some length to the Parnell case against the Times, his own sympathies being, of course, strongly against the Irish leader. The Times had published what purported to be a facsimile of a letter written by Parnell in 1882 in which he seemed to condone the Phoenix Park as- M'CoskigkC CaHAtcnun . amain suvuutttuaa .jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiii; Every Dollar Paid For Insurance in i i The Guardian Fire Insurance Company j of Utah Stays In Utah I The Agency Company Managers 334 South Main Street SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 5 1 7TiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii Tel.

But the strange way in which he dealt with it made most of his hearers believe that directly or indirectly he was responsible for the document. He drew a sharp distinction between the letter which was on the first page of the notepaper, and which was not suggested to be in his handwriting, and the few words, Yours very truly, Charles S. Parnell, which were at the top of the fourth page, and which were alleged to have been written by him. As to these few words he said the signature was unlike his, and curiously enough pointed to its free and flowing character as evidence that it was a forgery. As to the letter he said, I certainly never heard of the letter. I never directed such a letter to be written. I never saw such a letter He before I saw it in the Times. said, When I heard of the letter I supposed that some autograph of mine had fallen into the hands of some person for whom it had not been intended, and that it had been made use of in this way. I supposed that some blank sheet containing my signature, such as many members who are asked for their signatures freI quently send I supposed that such a blank sheet had fallen into hands for which it had not been intended, and that it had been misused in this fashion, or that something of this kind had happened. Parnells vindication is, of course, a matter of history, but his triumph was largely neutralized by the divorce Captain brought by proceedings OShea against his wife: A step had been taken by the respondent which I have never understood. At first the defense put in both by Mrs. OShea and by Mr. Parnell was a simple denial of the adul1 i tery. Later in the proceedings Mrs.OShea amended her defense by add- a plea, alleging that Captain OShea had been guilty of conduct conducing to her adultery, that he had connived at and condoned it, and she add a countercharge alleging his adultery with her sister, Mrs. . Steele. Who could have advised this step, or why Mr. Parnell permitted it, was and is a mystery. The charge against Mrs. Steele was utterly baseless and wanton; while of course the plea of connivance was in effect an admission of the adultery alleged against herself. But the whole business was full of puzzles. During the week before the trial we had consultations almost every day, and we heard all sorts of rumors. One day we were told that Mr. Parnells solicitors had no instructions; another that a staff of clerks were at work at the house at Brighton preparing briefs for the defense; next day we heard from Captain OShea that it had been intimated to him that he could have 20,000 if he would abandon the suit. And strange witnesses came to Mr.'Mus-ket- t and offered to give curious and incredible details of the adultery they said they could prove. So we went into court on Saturday, November 15th, quite uncertain as to what would happen. Sir Charles Butt was the judge, and Inderwick and Lewis Coward were my juniors. When I went into court Frank Lock-woo- d was already in the Queens Counsel row, and he came across to speak to me. I guessed what was coming, and refused to hear anything privately. I wished to be able to say that I knew nothing of the course he intended to take until it was publicly announced in court. Then he, when the judge came in, said he appeared for Mrs. OShea, and did not intend to take any part in the proceedings. The position was rather embarrassing for me, for in view of the defense of conI had nivance and the counter-charg- e prepared myself to open the case very fully, and had decided to call among my earliest witnesses young Harry OShea and one or both of the two girls who had been born before the acquaintance with Parnell had begun. I at once decided to do without their evidence, to make my statement as short as possible, and to call only a few witnesses. Mr. George Lewis came to me with a message from Mr. Parnell, who had been subpoenaed, and was, he said, in attendance, asking that I would if possible dispense with his appearance in court for the purpose of identification, and he handed me a few recent photographs. I We managed to make these do. might have finished the case that day, but I wanted to call Mrs. Steele to deny publicly the charge that had been made against her, and she was not in attendance. So the case stood over until the 17th, and then, after a little more evidence and a short and dining at ing sum-(Continue- on Page 15.) d ROTISSERIE INN We serve Fine Salads, Cold Chicken Consomme Jelly, Sea Foods and all kinds of Hot Weather specials.
