A Rumor of the Disappearance of Walsh
and Sheridan Proves Untrue

New York, May 3-Diligent search for
Sheridan and Walsh, who have been indicted
in Dublin for the murders of Cavendish and
Burke, was made to-day, but neither could
be found. Irish circles here are consider
ably excited by the news, and it is said that
should the British government cause their
arrest vigorous fight for their release will
be made in the law courts here by their
friends No person seems to know anything
in regard to Tynan's movements The latter,
it is said, is also indicted for PARTICIPATION in
the same crime The Express says the neces-
sary affidavits to secure the extradition of

weeks.

porter tonight. He said: am of course not
guilty of any connection with the Phoenix

would not care at ali if they would only
bring the informer over to this country and
try me here with an American Judge and
jury, but the mere fact of my being tried in
Dublin will convict me, as they have a hap
py faculty of convicting anybody they want
to. 1 can procure the most conclusive evil

new light on the subject Application was
made before for my extradtion, and as
stood then, l stand now, fearless of any eff
forts that may be made against me by Eng
land. Any time the United States Court
calls on me to make defense | am to be
found ready" Sheridan said, in answer to a
question as to his whereabouts at the time
of the Phoenix Park murders, that he would

was less concerned than himself about the
new demand for him. He thought he had
lately been shadowed by a man whom he
took to be detective, but does not intend to
leave New York.
General Roger A. Pryor, who, with General
Butler, has charge OF SEeridan's case, said all
the facts have been gone over carefully, and
no ground for extradition could be found.
ODonovan Rosa said the Englishman
who goes to Ireland to govern should be
killed or hanged. If he could go over to Ire
land now and kill one of the prominent
English statesmen, he would be glad to come
back here and admit it,
To question of a World reporter-"Do

country" John Walsh answered.:

the testimony of perjured informers they
could as easily find an indictment against

sort of thing in Ireland.
World reporter asked Sheridan: 'Do You

Sheridan replied: "I do not think anv-
