For months MIR. lyman has been regarded,
If not as myth, certainly one whose exist
ence was problematical. That Mr. Tynan-if
there was such person-was in America was
generally conceded. But the man who had
actually laid eyes on him in the flesh, was
not to be found. 1t was asserted that the
only delay IN the arrest of Messrs Sheridan
and Walsh arose from the desire on the part
of the British authorities to first put Mr., Ty-
nan under lock and key but that gentlemas
was not forthcoming.
Mr. lyman, however, has at length emerged
from the gloom and obscurity in which he
has heretofore been hidden. True, he has
not as yet manifested himself as real exist
ing entity, but the evidences of his existence
are much stronger than those which Sairey
Camp could produce of the existence of her
favorite authority. On Saturday, General
Roger A. Pryor addressed letter to Mr. Mar
bury, counsel for the British government, to
the effect that lyman would be produced
whenever he may be demanded by the proper
authority. In response, Mr.. Marbury wrote
that he had received no instructions for the
arrest of lyman and adding that no warrant
had been applied for.
General Pryor was seen at his residence in
Brooklyn last evening. When questioned as
to Mr.. lyman he said: 'You must really ex-
cuse me from saying anything in the matter
at all. The relations existing between Mr..
lyman and myself are those of counsel and
clieSt, and it would be manifestly improper
for me to say anything for publication con-
cernng his case"
But is it certain that Mr.. lyman IS in the
United States?' suggested the reporter. \
well, that is not an improper admission
to make"
And a resident of Brooklyn?"
"Ah! Nov you are getting upon delicate
ground" said the General smiling
You have seen and consulted with him?"
ooh, yes"
"Within a short timer"
II may say that l have only met Mr..
lyman within the past fortv-eight hours.n
Has ne been here long?"
He has been here for at least a month
how mach longer / am unable to say"
Has he been in concealment?'
Not at all. He has lived here quietly and
unobtrusively, but under his own name,
and with no attempt at concealment. He
has simply not paraded himself. He recently
came to the conclusion, however, that it
might come to be thought that he was skulk-
ing or hiding himself; hence ne himself sug-
gested substantially a communication in
dicating his readiness to respond to any call.
The letter shows that it was written by his
instruction. Among many other rather
humorous things in connection with the
case" pursued the General smlingly, sis
the fact that short time ago and when Mr..
lyman was here the London Times and
other papers published, and it was cabled
here, story to the effect that he was in Lon

What sort of a man is Mr.. Tynan?'
HE is a singularly intelligent, modest,
quiet and reserved gentleman, to whom
newspaper notoriety in any connection would
be distasteful. His tastes are scholarly and
refined. His appearance is more that of an
Englishman than an Irishman, and the same
may be said of his accent. He is a man of
deep thought and convictions, and when he
once makes up his mind is not easily turned
from his purpose. He dresses genteelly."
General Pryor was shown wood engrav-
ing of lyman, published recently in the Lon
don Graphic from a photograph taken two
years ago, in which the alleged head of the
Invincbles is shown as a man of full face,
pleasant features, with a wide forehead
bushy full beard, and wearing eyeglasses.
rs that anything like him, General2" was
asked.
VERY like, very like, indeed" responded
the General.
Has he any familyP'
"Oh, yes; a wife and eight children. His
wife is as refined, ladylike, intelligent, accom-
plished lady as you would expect to meet
in any parlor"
General Pryor added that Mr. Tynan's full
name was Patrick Joseph Percy lyman
What business he was engaged in the GEN
eral did not know. AS to whetherh he thought
the course which Mr.. lyman had pursued in
remaining in retirement was wise one the
