The story of the reformer Norman,
alias Lynch, in the trial of the dynamite
conspirators creates great sensation in
this country as we'll as in England. 1t is
to the effect that he belonged to secret
society of Irish-Americans. the members
of which were known by numbers, not by
names, and the purpose of which was to
free Ireland by force. The meetings of
the branch to which Lynch belonged were
held in hall at the corner of the Bow
cry and Second street, in New York.
Lynch gives many facts. names, and dates
concerning his residence in this country
which could not possibly have been in
vented. He says he was sent over to Lon
don to work rs destructive agent, al
though very much against his will. He
and Gallagher (who is also an Irish-Amer-
ican) were colleagues and co -conspirators,
Gallagher being higher up in the ranks of
the destructives than Lynch. Both of
these men were engaged in the general
business of disseminating dynamite and
other explosives, and it was not until
Lynch according to his own story found
himself pushed too far to the front of dam
ger that he weakened in the faith and re-
solved to make clean breast of all he
knew. His story has strong appearance
Of being true, and if it is leaves little
doubt that the seat of the dynamite con-
spiracy and preliminary operations was in
America.
