former, Lodged in a London Prison..
Extraordinary Police Precautions to Pre-.
vent Popular Demonstrations or Attempt
at Rescue.
LONDON, Sept, rs.
O'Donnen was taken from the steamer
Athenian when three miles off Southa1np-
ton, by a police tug. and brought to the
cattle sheds at the end of the quay. The
detectives kept their movements so secret
that few persons were aware of the landing.
and with the exception of the police there,
were not a dozen people present to witness
it. The quay was closed to the public, and
the local police guarded the gangway. A
large detachment of London police sur
rounded O'Donneu and his party as thew
landed. The Police Inspector and some,
detectives had immediate personal charge
of the prisoner, who was not handcuffed,
and who obeyed the orders of his guardians
with alacrity. As soon as it became pub
hcly known that O'DOnneu had landed q
rush was made by the crowd along the
neighboring quays, but the measures taken
by the police were so excellent that the
public obtained only distant view of the
party. When the baggage had been landed
the prisoner was conducted to the rear of
the sheds, where locomotive and two cars
were in waiting. O'Donnell took seat in
a first-class carriage, the policemen filing
the remaining seats. The train was then
rapidly driven along the dock sidings until
1T reached the depot, where it was learned
that there would be a delay of half an hour.
In view OF this the train ran on a siding
some distance from the main line to avoid
the public, where it awaited the departure
of the mail train for London, and to which
it was attached. The start was made at
O'Clock q hainCr
without incident. O'Donneil maintained "a
cheerful demeanor, and talked freely, butt,
without reference to the crime with which
he is charged.
On alighting from the train O'Donne1
was Immediately surrounded by an inn
penetrable body of police. The spectators
made rush to obtain view of the priS-
oner, but the police were too alert, and only
an occasional glimpse of the captive was
obtainable. O'Donnell at first appeared to
be nervous, and stepped off the train some
what hesitatingly, surveying the scene be-
fore him. Soon, however, he drew himself
up erect and descended the stairway more
boldly. Outside the station, while entering
the van, few roughs attempted to raise a
cheer, which was met with some Kisses. A
strong guard was placed inside the van,
behind which followed cab filed with off,
GERS. The procession then started, the
mounted police encircling the van. n few
misses and cheers were again raised, but the
crowd generally was a pathetic. On arriv-
the prison received the prisoner, who was
forthwith placed in a cell. subsequently
he visited by Police Superintendent
Williamson. O'Donnell appears more dis
tresSed since his incarceration.
He was brought to the Bow Street Police
Court this morning, closely guarded by
mounted police, and passed through the
streets at a rapid pace. On arriving at the.'
Courthouse he was Immediately placed in
the dock. Frederick Flowers was the pre-
siding magistrate. Poland appeared for
the crown, and stated that the prisoner
was charged with murder upon the high
seas within the jurisdiction OF the Admiral
ty of England and of this Court"
The witnesses for the crown have not,
yet arrived in England, as It was not
deemed advisable to bring them on the
same vessel with the prisoner. Poland
asked that the prisoner be remanded for
one week, and stated that he would prob
ABLY, at the expiration of that time, again
ask but a short remand, as he believed the
witnesses would by that time have ar
rived, and he would be able to begin the
case. Magistrate Flowers accordingly re-
manded the prisoner until Tuesday next.
During the hearing O'Donnell was permit
ted to sit in the dock. He manifested great
interest in the proceedings and maintained
a respectful demeanor.
1t has tranSpired that O'Donnell, after
shooting Carey, said: ''Shal1e hands, Mrs.
Carey: had to do t." and not: Il did not
do 1t, " as first reported. 1t is stated that X
inc Crown mas engaged Che services OF To-
land, who has already appeared in the
Irish State trials, to prosecute O'Donnell.
Everything indicates that the trial, which
takes place in November, will be a mem
orable one. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Carey will offer evidence of a most aston.
ishing nature, which she declares will
clear her husbands character She has.
handed the letters to the authorities, which.
includes the correspondence OF members OF
Parliament.
The prisoner gave his name at Bow Street..
as Patrick O'DonnelI, though he is de-
D'DonneIl, puddIer, of Gadoure, County
Donegal, Ireland" He will have able
counsel, steps being taken to secure the
services of a welI-known Irish member OF
Parliament. The police were extremely
active in Nationalist quarters, London, to-
day, making inquiries as to what con-
nection, if any, O'Donnell had with Irish
secret societies. Mllbank Prison has been
placed under extra guard, as when the"
dynamiters were prisoners.
