Careys Murderer Taken 20 Millbnnk Jail.
O'Donnell, the murderer of Carey was land
ed at Southampton at o'clock this morning
and placed on board the train for London. The
train arrived at Vauxhall at noon, where the
prisoner was met by large force OF police and
escorted to the prison van. He was then, under
escort of the police, driven to Millbank jail.sm
O'Donnell was taken from the steamer Athe-
nian when three miles off Southampton by the
police tug and brought to the cattle sheds at
the end of the quay. The detectives kept their
movements SO secret that but few persons were
aware of the landing, and with the exception
of the police, there were not dozen people
present to witness it. The quay was closed to
Ll6 pubic 0Uu In6 local police RudrQ6Q Inc
gaDgway. A large detachment OF Lendon po-
lice surrounded O'Donnell and his party as
they landed. A police inspector and some de-
tectives had the immediate personal charge Of
the prisoner, who was not handcutfed and who
obeyed the orders OF his guardians with alac-
rity.
AS soon as it became publicly knoYn that
O'Donnell had landed rush was made by the
crowd along the neighboring quays, but the
measures taken by the police were so excellent
-
the party. When his baggage had been land
ed, the prisoner was conducted to the rear Of
the sheds, where a locomotive and two cars
were in waiting.
O'Donnell took seat in first class carriage
policemen filling the remaining seats. The
train was then rapidly driven along the dock
sidings until it reached the depot, where 1t
was learned that there would be delay Of a
half hour. In view Of this, the train was run
on siding some distance along the main line
to avoid the public, where it awaited the de-
parture Of the mail train for London, to which
it was attached. The final start was made st
10 o'clock, the trip being accomplished without
incident. O'Donnell maintained cheerful de-
meanor and talked freely, but without refer
ring to the crime with which he is charged.
