reason to believe that the whole incendiary
| and dynamite conspiracy here and in
America will now be laid bare, and the
number of arrests will shortly increase.
The man first arrested last night, near Fleet
street, had engaged rooms on Southamp-
ton street, on the corner of the Strand,
giving the name of Ormund, and stating
that he was medical student. Subse-
quently he said his correct name was Nor
man. The first inquiry for rooms was made
by an elderly man. A box of explosives
was taken to Norman's lodgings by
person of rakish appearance, who looked
more like a tramp or street idler than a
porter, or friend of student. 1t is be-
Eeved this individual and the elderly man
have been captured in the persons OF the
two men arrested at Lambeth to-day.
One of these men had in his pockets and
sewed up in his clothing, a large sum OF
money, portion of which was IN Amerl-
can coins. Street rumors made free use
of American names and connected many
Irish Americans with the plots.
One of the Lambeth prisoners had Sc
cured lodgings in the name of Wilson.
His movements, however, excited so much
suspicion among his neighbors, that he
left his room yesterday, saying it was his
intention to 90 to Wolverhampton. When
he returned at noon to-day, he was sur
prised to find five detectives awaiting him.
Norman undoubtedly came direct from
Birmingham.
The place where he was stopping was
just over the Office where is printed the
Court Circular. The proprietor of that
sheet recently received letters, containing
Il re Of ba hac
now no difficulty in tracing to the pris-
oner.
The fourth arrest of the day was Henry
Dalton, who was taken into custody to-
night. He came from the United States
two weeks ago. He was found at the rooms
of the American exchange. He made no
resistance. Dalton was confined in jail at
the Scotland yards.
1t is believed the name of Whitehead is
an alias and that the police know his
proper name, but wish to keep it secret for
the present. Thousands visited the house
in Ledsam street during the day. The
stock in the houss consisted of fourteen
carboys holding ten gallons each of sui
phuric acid and nitric acid, great num-
Der of cans of glycerine and mixed acids,
ten gallons of nitro-glycsrine, cooling
chemical appliances.
1t is believed the government intends to
introduce bill, in accordance with Har-
coHrt's opinion, expressed in the commons
yesterday, that the present state of law in
regard to the possession of explosives is
unsatisfactory. Whitehead paid e27 for
one consignment of glycerine. Gallagher
declares himself an American citizen.
When arrested nearly 5000 in English and
American notes were found on him. He is
thirty years old. The explosives at Lam
beth were also taken to the marshes after
being tested at Woolwich.
The enitro-glycerine in Norman's box was
made by persons who had little experience
in the manufacture of such dangerous COM
pounds, and was therefore very liable to
explode.
The arrests yesterday are connected
with the arrests of Thursday, in Liverpool,
of Daniel Deary and Patrick Flanagan.
There was no less sensation IN the com
mons when the arrests were announced
than elsewhere. Sir Vim. Harcourt, home
secretary, in brief speech outlining the
facts, confirmed what had up to this time
been merely a rUmor, that Norman had
been arrested. He added, $50 pounds of
NOrman's quarters slowed in skiIfully de-
vised rubber bags. He also confirmed
the discovery Of dynamite manufactory
in Birmingham and gave the particulars of
the affair, substantially as related in these
dispatches. He said further that consid-
erable amount of the same kind of explo-
sive had been discovered in the rooms of
the Lambeth prisoners and part of the
- Hlo-o A
can bank notes. That there,was a connec-
tion between the arrests at Birmingham
and London is shown by the incident which
has just come to light.
The home secretary, during the after
noon, sent dispatch to Birmingham ask
ing the authorities to remand Whitehead
for a week. The same action was taken
here under the same directions in the case
of Norman. The magistrate at Bow street
waited till late in the afternoon for in
structions :, in regard to Norman and his
two Lambeth companions, and finally,
receiving the telegram from the home
secretary, announced that no formal
charge will be brought against the three
prisoners to-day. They were accordingly
remanded.
BIRMINGHAM, April 5.--In accordance
with the request or the home Office, White
head was remanded for week. The
charge against him is for having in his
possession explosive compounds, and ma
terials, in violation of law. At the exami-
nation evidence was given showing that
police detectives had followed Norman,
who was arrested in London, from White
heads house IN this city. He took
away from Whitehead's a box. Among
other material seized at the paper hangers,
we're eight gallons of mysterious liquid in
tins, some sulphatic acid and quantity of
nitro-glycerine. The prisoner, when ar
raigned, assumed an air of indifference,
and also refused to answer questions.
Dalton is suspected of being the perpe-
traitor of the outrage at the Office of the
local government board at Westminster.
The prisoners will not be arraigned
Thursday, because, in view of the docu-
ments seized, the police have decided to
make several other arrests, which they
thought might be frustrated if evi-
dence in their possession wac made pub
lie. Norman describes himself as coach
man, Wilson claims to be a clerk, and
Gallagher physician. The police be-
lieve the Birmingham factory one Of sew
