Century History, Features, Issue 2 (Summer 2. Volume 9. The murders of chief secretary Cavendish and under- secretary Burke in Dublin’s Pheonix Park. The. Phoenix Park murders created the same sort of sensation as theassassination of President Kennedy did in 1. Tim Healyit was a common saying that no- one forgot where he stood when he heardthe news. Responsibility was claimed by a hitherto unheard- ofgroup, the Irish National Invincibles. But Superintendent Mallon of the. G (detective) division of the Dublin Metropolitan Police had a prettyshrewd idea of who was involved. He suspected a number of former Fenianactivists, recruited and directed from abroad by leading figures in the. Land League. By playing off one suspect against another Mallon gotseveral of them to reveal what they knew but his real breakthrough camewhen James Carey turned informer. The informer’s background. Careywas a Dublin man, the son of a bricklayer, and a bricklayer himself foreighteen years before settling himself up as a master builder. He alsoacquired some slum property which he let out by the room to poortenants. He was an upwardly mobile type, active in an association forpromoting Irish manufactured goods, an office holder in a religiousconfraternity and a regular communicant in the Catholic church. Shortlybefore his arrest he was elected to Dublin corporation. Mallon said hewas the only one among the conspirators capable of addressing ameeting. He appreciated the importance of appearances too; he smokedcigars and wore kid gloves on the journeys from prison to thecourthouse. Politically he had an impeccable revolutionary record; hehad been a member of the Fenians since the early sixties and had takenpart in the 1. He was thus a cut above the otherconspirators—artisans, labourers, cab drivers and publicans—and forthat reason his apostasy was all the more shocking to his associates. As a result of his evidence five of his companions were hanged,including Dan Curley, godfather of Carey’s two- month- old child, andeight others were sentenced to penal servitude. Passage to a safe haven. Althoughthe Phoenix Park murders were widely condemned, even in orthodox Feniancircles, there was nothing but anger and revulsion in nationalist. Ireland against Carey for what he had done. The authorities had no usefor him either but it was incumbent on them to make some provision forhis safety by getting him out of Ireland. The problem was to find asafe haven in the English- speaking parts of the world; the USA and. Canada, the Australian colonies and New Zealand, even the Cape Colonyhad too many Fenian sympathisers in them for safety. So Natal waschosen, where the Irish were thin on the ground. Carey’s wifeand seven children were put into lodgings in the East End of London and. Carey was kept in Kilmainham gaol till arrangements had been completed. Then Mrs Carey and five of the children were put aboard the Kinfauns. Castle in London as steerage passengers and Carey and the two eldestchildren joined the ship at Dartmouth, all of them travelling as afamily under the name of Power, Mrs Carey’s maiden name, bound for Cape. Town on the first stage of their journey. Travelling on the sameship, with second class berths, was another Irishman called Patrick. O’Donnell, a man in his mid–forties, illiterate but respectable both inappearance and conduct, accompanied by a young woman variouslydescribed as his wife or niece. He and the so–called Power became veryfriendly on the voyage; they played dice and draughts and dranktogether. O’Donnell professed to be fond of the children and his . At Cape Town they all transferred to acoastal steamer, the Melrose; they also had time to go ashore; the menwent drinking and on one occasion the two families set off together forthe theatre but found that it was closed. Assassination. James Carey, with insets depicting the swearing in of members, the identifying of under- secretary Burke, informing, acting as crown witness. About a quarter to four on Sundayafternoon when O’Donnell and Power were having a drink together in thesaloon O’Donnell drew a revolver and shot his friend three times. Itwas a harrowing scene. The first shot hit Carey in the neck. As hestaggered across the saloon towards the cabin where his wife had justgone O’Donnell shot him again in the back. Mrs Carey came out of thecabin and Carey fell into her arms saying . Then O’Donnell fired a third shot and Carey andhis wife fell to the floor. Mrs Carey was covered in blood and so toowere the children who . Witnesses agreed that though he was not drunk he was under theinfluence of drink and seemed quite bewildered. A bizarre episodeoccurred when O’Donnell approached Mrs Carey and offered to shakehands, saying something that was differently reported by every witness,the most convincing version being . O’Donnell offeredno resistance when he was arrested and put in chains; he told hiscaptors not to be afraid, he was not going to hurt anybody. When hisluggage was searched another revolver, with a box of cartridges wasfound, and a mysterious box, 9–by–9–by–7 inches, which appeared to bean electrical machine. Fearing it was some sort of dangerous device thecaptain had it thrown overboard. It emerged subsequently that it was abattery for treating O’Donnell’s partially paralysed hand. O’Donnelland his victim were taken ashore at Port Elizabeth, O’Donnell to bebrought before the magistrate and Carey to be buried at the North Endgraveyard in Port Elizabeth. During the proceedings at Port. Elizabeth there occurred the one instance of humane conduct that hascome to light in this whole affair. Dr Frederick Ensor, the districtsurgeon at Port Elizabeth, conducted the post mortem on Carey and gavehis evidence in the magistrate’s court on the first day of the inquiry. At five o’clock that evening he went to see the prisoner. He asked. O’Donnell if he had any relative with him and on being told about theniece he undertook to ask the local Catholic clergy to see to herwelfare. When he found that O’Donnell had been given only bread andwater since his arrest he gave orders that he should be provided withproper food. Later when he learnt that O’Donnell had paced about hiscell all night he prescribed a sleeping draught for him. Dr Ensor alsoattended Carey’s funeral. Finding that neither the Catholic clergy norany other clergyman in the town was prepared to conduct a burialservice he said he thought it only right that a few words should besaid over the grave of . From even as far away as Peking wefind the Portadown man Sir Robert Hart, inspector general of Chinesecustoms, writing: . The scoundrel, he deserved it, although a certain amount ofjudicial gratitude is due to him for bringing those other ruffians tothe scaffold’. In London the news of the murder was received with. In nationalist Ireland there wasjubilation. Bonfires and effigies of the informer were burned in manyplaces. Police launch on way to the Melrose, off Port Elizabeth. At Temple Bar, acrossthe river, large fires were lit in the centre of the street and theinhabitants threw old mattresses and broken furniture into them andcheered O’Donnell. An effigy of Carey was burned in Cork, another onewas carried through the streets of Limerick, a mock wake was held in. Claremorris, there were noisy demonstrations in Newry in the north andin Queenstown (Cobh) in the south. In Dublin the children were goinground begging passers–by for a penny . Asection of the crowd cheered him when he was brought ashore and stoneswere thrown at the sentry outside the gaol. The authorities thought itnecessary to take precautions in case there would be a rescue attempt. Credit was given to Mallon and his men for spiriting Carey outof Ireland but the rest of the operation was roundly condemned. Was itnot the height of folly to send him on the same ship as his wife andseven children, all of whose names were known to the public, as was thefact that she was a notorious tippler? And with no more disguise of hiswell–known features than the shaving off of his beard. The concern wasnot for Carey—it was generally felt that he had got his just deserts—itwas for the effect his murder might have on the flow of information tothe police; would–be informers in future might well be deterred by. Carey’s fate. O’Donnell, the journalist’s Fenian. Thatwas assuming that Carey had been executed by the organisation he hadbetrayed. The newspapers at thetime announced that O’Donnell had been sent to kill Carey and accountsof his activist background began to appear. He was believed to havebeen one of the men who attempted to blow up the Mansion House in. London two or three years before; he had been involved in the Fenianrising at Tallaght in 1. England andhad worked at Preston before emigrating to America; he had gone to San. Francisco in 1. 87. Fenian agent; he appeared in New York in 1. Carey was arrested. O’Donnell was sent to Dublin as chief of a group to watch the course ofevents; he was believed to have acted under the direction of Patrick. Tynan; he had eked out a living selling photographs of Irish Americans; he acted as a sort of agent for public speakers, amongst them Mark. Twain. There was not a word of truth in any of this press speculation. The real O’Donnell. O’Donnell being conveyed to the court house in Port Elizabeth. Heemigrated to the United States when he was about sixteen years of age. He worked in Brooklyn and Philadelphia at first, and then in Ohio and. Toronto, originally in hotels and then for a time as a butler, whichmay explain his bearing which led some journalists to believe that hehad had military training. Later he worked on the gold and silver minesin the western states, Montana, California and Nevada. He was never involved in any political activity. When he heardof the diamond discoveries in South Africa he decided to try his luckthere. He left New York on 1.
