THE DEAN CASE.

Sydney, October 2

The Oouncil was crowded this after noon to hear Sir Julian Salomons' re ply to Mr Meagher. He said he would never have undertaken such an un» pleasant task but that he felt he cou d briogjhome to everyone—excepting those who unfortunately sympathised ivitb crime, and immediately a man was convicted adopted every means to get the sentence quashed—the absolute truth of his assertions, which he was prepared to swear to in any court. Mr Meagher and Mr Crick had taken strong objection to his keeping the con fession so long secret, and not disclos ing ifc to Mr Pilcher during the sittings of the Commission, but he had documentary proof that he bad made the statement, in writing to Judge Stepbenson the late Chief Justice, which would bring the convic tion of Dean's guilt to every impartial mind. Notwithstanding Mr Meagher's denial, he would prove that he had made disclosures absolutely involving Dean's guilt. He would also prove that after Dean's conviction Messrs Meagher, Orick, attd Bean hatched the con spiracy which led to the appointment ©f the commission. Sir Julian Salomons reiterated that he affirmed every word contained in the written statement previously handed' *~. the Attorney-QeDeral was true. He added that after the inter view with Mr Meagher at his office he immediately called in Mr Simpsow, a solicitor in the same chambers, and gave him full details of the conversa tion, and asked him to act in the matter; but, owing to their legal relations, he declined. Next day Sir Julian Salomons say Mr Stephen, from whom he produced a letter stating that they had had several conversa tions in reference to Mr Meagher's confession. Subsequently Sir Julian Salomons obtained Mr Meagher's con sent for a conference with Mr Pilcher. Ihe latter agreed, but afterwards •wrote saying* as he had acted as Dean's counsel, he could not conscientiously take part in the conference, adding that whaterer statements Mr Meagher made were sacred, md could not be divulged-. Failing to obtain witnesses to substantiate his statement, Sir Julian Salomons, at a second interview with Mr Meagher, suggested that he should consult Mr O'Connor, a solici- \ tor. Mr Meagber implied that he did pot want to consult, and hoped Sir Julian Salomons would not take Iwttor action, Sir Juli*o fetelowoosJ

then tried (o impress him with the terrible positwn in which he was placed, and the £reat wrong done to Mrs Dean, knowing she was innocent. He did all he could to urge Mr Meagher to adopt the proper course so as to prevent the terrible disclosures which must inevitably come, but failed ; Mr Meagher only saying he would think over the iratter and see what could be done. He believed that if it had not been for Mr Crick, who was equally aware of the facts, Mr Meagher would have told the whole troth. Sir Julian Salomons credited Mr Meagher with concocting a very plausible and able explanation by saying he was suffering from halluci nations. Thirty years ago he had suffered from brain fever, and had been out of his mind; but since then no one had been able to say he had ever been

subject to hallucinations, unless in believing Mr Meagher was not the man he turned out to be. The confession had been made, and would have to be cleared up. Mr M.-agher must see to it. When Messrs Orick and Meagher found he intended to make the con fession known they decided to spread rumours about his halluciautiona. In reference to the alleged offer of money to Bean to leave the country, what he did was to ask Mr Meagher to plead with Dean to go away and leave behind a letter absolving his wife, He added that, he would give £50 out of his own pocket to prove her innocence. Mr Stephen agreed with this, and offered to subscribe money. Between his knowledge of the confession and the

pledge of confidence he had given he was in a state of torture, but justice to an innocent woman, though against the advice of those most dear to him, decided him to divulge the whole, matter Mr O'Oonnor followed, and confirmed Sir Julian Salomons' statement that they talked the confession over, and arranged a conference with Mr Meagher, but the latter failed to attend. He believed every word of Sir Julian Salomons' statement, and that Dean was guilty. It was a cruel shame to accuse Sir Julian Salomons of halluci nations Mr Pilcher said what Sir Julian Salomons stated about the proposed conference he failed to attend was correct, but he asserted his belief in Dean's innocence. Sydney, Octobar 3 Mr Pilcher said that personally he would not have disclosed confidences such as Mr Meagher was alleged to have made. Such a course was un warranted 1 unless to save an innocent man from gaol or the scaffold. The issue at ntake was not whether Dean was guilty or innocent, but whether Mr Meagher said he was. He had no doubt iv his own mind that Dean did not make the confession attributed to him.

After the Attorney-General's speech the matter dropped.

The Chairman of the Dean Defence Committee, in an interview, said Mr Meagher admitted that during a con venation with {Sir Julian Salomons he jocularly remarked that Government was hunting Dean as if guilty.

The Herald states that in the face of the brilliant and vigorous display of intellectual power, resources, and argu ment of Kir Julian Salomons, the sug gestion that the original statement emanated from a mind subject to hallucinations simply shrivelled up and vanished.
