Davitt Testifies on Parnell Commission Evidence
Michael Davitt testified before the Parnell commission in London, denying Le Caron’s account of Devoy proposals reaching Parnell. He said Parnell did not influence his 1878 America trip, planned a lecturing tour to aid the Land League, and met Clan-na-Gael in America describing their aims. Davitt rejected links between Clan-na-Gael and the Land League in Ireland, defended nonmilitant aims, and discussed revolver references in a letter while declining to name the addressee. He attributed agrarian unrest to tenant farmer sons and urged peace if justice could be achieved.
