How the Dublin Prisoners Are Guarded.
London Correspondence Philadelphia Times.
The prisoners in the dock on trial for par
ticipaton in the dynamite plots are sur
rounded by an iron railing which gives
them but little chance to move about. Be-
hind each of them there is an armed police
man. Outside of the court there is an armed
body of mounted constables, and through
the vast crowd which packs the room there
are any number of detectives from Scotland
Yard in plain clothes, striving to pick up
any word that may furnish a clew for the in
vestigations still being pursued in all direc-
tions. By this time the hearing for the day
is over, and the prisoners, closely
guarded, are led out into the yard, where
ponderous van, to which are
altacneu Iour norSes is waiting Ior tnem, IL
is made of iron, with little breathing holes,
/ with iron bars at the top. Through the mid
die of it there is passage, and on each side
there are little boxes, just big enough for one
person to be placed in and, the doors of
these boxes being closed, there is no posi-
bility of comm unication between their in
mates. In the aisles there are placed half a
dozen armed warders, on the rear steps two
more, on the box with the driver two more,
and around it squad of mounted police.
Besides that. there are over two hundred
armed officers in civilians dress mingling
with the crowd and there is a heavy reserve
force of police, and half a regiment of Scots
guards near at call, all under arms. 1t will
be cold day if these prisoners escape.
