It was to have been heard and pos­ sibly disposed of on February 4, 1880. "During the early hours of that morning a band of ruffians, some disguised, others not, are claimed to have visited the Donnelly home, and brutally murdered the elderly pair, together with their son, Thomas, and niece, Bridget Don­ nelly. "The dwelling was set on fire and soon was a mass of ruins, the four murdered inhabitants sharing the same fate as the building. "Meantime the murderers proceed-* ed to the house of another son of the couple, John, and murdered him. “It appears that to give a true western outlaw setting to the situ­ ation, a Vigilante Committee had been formed. The true purpose of the committee was never fully re- vealed. Retaliatory measures again­ st the suspected Donnellys were un­ doubtedly incorporated as part of the well-disguised program,” wrote Mr. Hassard. The reaction, was varied, Mr. Hassard found, saying that "many people expressed a grim satisfaction that the community had 'been purg­ ed of a dangerous family.” Out of thirty-three persons who had been held, eight were commit­ ted for trial; William Carroll, Pat­ rick Ryder, son of the farmer whose barn was burned, James Carr oil, John Kennedy, Martin lin, Thomas and James John Purtell. Trial Laid Over After the acquittal Carroll in February Crown attorney asked that the re­ mainder be tried evidence same as against the last prisoner (James Carroll). I therefore ask that their case go over to the next assize,” He also said that the Crown was ready to consider ball for the ac­ cused.
