 LONDON. Aug. 1.-The examination. of James McDermott at Liverpool to-day re- suited in his being committed to answer charge of having conspired with the dyna- mite party, to blow up public buildings. This committal under the circumstances surround ing the case as described in despatches re- caived from America is readily accounted for by the fact that the evidence in the case was given by English detective officers who are known to have been identified with McDer- mott in his search for facts against I1ishmen in England, Ireland, France and America. The Irish faction charge very directly that there is too evident effort to shield him from the consequences of treason to the party whose confidence he won while work ing with English money and government pay, but they claim that it will never succeed and that McDermott's life will be of little value to him when the men on watch get an ap- portunity to reach him with possible safety to themselves. The governments witnesses say that they saw McDermott in Dalton's company during all the time they spent in London and that they were frequently seen together inspecting public buildings which it was known that the dynamiters intended to destroy if opportunity offered. Every wit ness identified McDermott as ''St. Sylvester CT Robert Norman the aliases under which he appeared first at Cork and afterward at Paris. The statement of the witnesses showed that McDermott had been seen in Dalton's company about the Mansion House, the Horse Guards, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Somerset House and the postofice Of the other places mentioned they were, however, msk- ing more than 8 cursory examination and such one as the police officials say would have been quite consenant with more or less definite plans to blow them up. Friends of the Irish party say unhesitatingly that the government intends to convict the prisoner only for the purpose of trying to convince the men whom they believe he betrayed that he was one of them and then releasing him from jail on the first demand made by the American government, 8 demand which Mo Dermott believes he can secure through the influence of political and personal friends in New York He feels certain that such course would not prejudice him before the dynamite party, would save his life, secure his liberty and fortune and place him in position to still further serve the British gov ernment. In the event of his failure to in- fuence the interference of the United States government there is little doubt that he sentenced or that in some other way he has been guaranteed his liberty by the prosecu- ton. The court on the evidence produced remanded McDermett and he will be tried as were the other prisoners whose sentences have been pronounced within few days.
