really a dispenser of the funds of the
society, Poland pointed out the fact
that he had in his possession when
arrested ELS in English notes

was clear, therefore, he was IL OF the
principal conspirators and not an In

s;news of warfrom the United States:
Gallagher himself communicated

Gallagher telegraphed to Whitehead
on the 9th of March, promising him

in England. The list included Glas-
gov, Blackburn and Liverpool. 1t
would appear in evidence that U
tin was also one of the chief cOnspir-
ators. The papers in Gallagher's
luggage referred TO Ansburgh, whom
Gallagher visited. O'Conner went
to the United States nine years ago,
and the letters showed he had estab-
lished relations with O'Donovan
Rosa, Mcclure and Dewey. He re-
turned to this country a short time
since under the name OF Dalton. IL

The prisoner Gallagher will be re-
moved to London tonight, it being
desired by the officials there during
the examination OF his brother.
Poland intimated he would ask
that the prisoner be remanded for q

of proceedings in other parts of the
Kingdom, where similar cases were
being examined. He also inti1nated
that the charge against these men

lively simple one on which they were
now arraigned to the serious offence
of conspiracy, and it was SO decided
by their bondsmen. To effect objects

of life which would result was a ques-
ton that only a magistrate could de-

dictable for conspiracy and murder.
It is possible, furthermore,
that at q future stage of the
proceeding a charge would be lodged
them under the treason and
act. Gould said he watched
the case for Gallagher, whose counsel
would be engaged hereafter. A lot
of papers were put in evidence
including a catalogue of a chemical
firm in Birmingham. The latter
found at Norman's lodgings
and contained full directions for
making dynamite. The proprietor
of the hotel where Norman was stop
when arrested was brought face
to face with Gallagher and testified
to the best of his belief he was the
who, under the name Of
Fletcher, several times visited Nor
man. A daughter of the hotel pro-
prietor, from whom Gallagher en-
gagged rooms for Norman, positively
him as Fletcher. The pro-
OF the hotel at which Aims
burg stopped identified Gallagher as
the man who had visited Ainburgh.
The clerk at the Charing Cross hotel
where Gallagher boarded failed to
recognize any of the prisoners as the
men who visited Gallagher.
