sentences:  Quinn was a particular target of the "Parnellism and Crime" campaign by "The Times" newspaper against Parnell and his party.Whereas the main accusation against Parnell was simply that according to a corrupt journalist Richard Pigott he had privately expressed support for the Phoenix Park Murders, Quinn was effectively accused in an anonymous letter published on 13 June 1887 of being an accessory to the murders themselves.He was effectively exonerated, along with his co-accused, by the collapse of The Times’ case before the Parnell Commission in February 1889.
