THE SUSPECTS SHAKEN UP .
What They Have to Say About the Proposed
Exfrxditfon.


NEW YORK, May 3.-The Express says
the necessary afRdavits to secure the extra
dition OF lyman, "No. Onc.' have been here
for nearly two weeks. A diligent search for
Sheridan aud Walsh who have been indicted
In Dublin for the murders Of Cavendish and
Burke, was made to-day, but neither could
be found. !
New YORK, May 3.-To the question Of Q
World reporter, Do you think the English
Government will succeed In obtaining your
extradition from this country?" John Walsh
answered: al do not know what the Ameri-
can Government may do In the matter. /
thought the investigation at Paris proved my
absence conclusively. thought when l
came to this country, would be secure /
would rot care at all, II they would only
bring the informers 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 happy
faculty Of convicting anybody there they
want to. I can procure most convincing
evidence that was in a small village in
England at the time of the Dublin tragedy"
To the reporter, p. j. Sheridan said:
"This action of the Government throws no
new light on the subject. The application
was made before for my extradition, and as
/ stood then, / stand now, regardless of any
efforts that may be made against me by En-
gland. At any time the United States courts

ready. Sheridan said In answer to questions
as to bis whereabouts at the time of the
Phoenix Park murders, that he would state
when the proper time comes. The Phoenix
Park murders were called q political offense
by Trevelyan, and he 80 considered them.
No one, he said, was less concerned than
himself by this new demand for him. He
thought he had lately been Swallowed by
men whom he took to be detectives; did not
intend to leave New York.
O'Donovan Rosss..said any Englishmsn who
goes to Ireland to govern should be killed Or
hanged. 1.-The could 60 over to Ireland now
and kill one Of the prominent English states
man, be would be glad to come back here
and admit 1t.
Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who with Gen.
Butler has charge of Sheridan's case, said all
the facts had been gone over carefully, and
no ground for extradltion could be found with
these cases. The Orsini case Is illustrative
In these cases. It seems as though much
stronger evidence should be required than
that already made public to justify the extra
dition of these men. think the government
of the United States should not surrender
upon any demand from England for extradi-
tion for any man or number of men, on the
evidence of informers who confess them
selves deliberate perjurers and assassIns.
The law which will regulate the extradition
proceedings In the cases Of the persons men
toned should their surrender be demanded,
Is nfained In Article X Of the treaty of
August 9Lh, 1912, which Is as follows: It is
agreed that the United States and Her Bri-
fannie Majesty shall, upon mutual requisi-
tions by them or their Ministers or officers or
authorities respectively made, deliver up to
Justice all persons who being charged with
the crime Of murder, or assault with intent
to commit murder, or piracy, or arson, or
robbery, or forgery, or the utterance of
forged paper, committed within the jurisdIc-
ton of either, shall seek an asylum or shall
be found within the territories of the other;
provided, that this shall only be done upon
such evidence of criminality as according
to the laws Of the place to where the fugitive
or person SO charged shall be found, would
justify his apprehension and commitment
for trial IL the crime or ofiense had there
been committed; and, thu respective judges
and other magistrates Of the two govern
ments shall have power, jurisdiction and
authority upon complaint made under oath,
to issue warrant for the apprehension ofthe
fugitive or person so charged, that be may be
brought before such judges or other magis-
trates respectively, to the end that evidence
of criminality may be heard and considered
and If, In such hearing, the evidence be
deemed sufficient TO sustain the charge, IL
shall be the duty Of the examining judge or
magistrate TO certify the same to the proper
executive authority, that a warrant may
issue for the surrender of such fugitive.
The expense Of such apprehension and de-
livery shall be borne and betrayed by the
party who makes the requisition and receives
the fugitive"
