THE DYNAMITE FIENDs.
Norman, Gallagher, Dalton, Wilson, Cur
tin and Ansburgh were taken TO the Bow
street Police Court this morning in the
prison van, driven at q rapid pace and &C.
conpanied by guard OF armed police and
mounted censtables., A large crowd fol-
lowed the prisoners to the courthouse. The
whole route was lin,d with policemen.
Every precaution TO prevent rescue was
taken. TIE prisoners appeared perfectly
calm.
The pri.oners were arraigned before Judge
Iugbam. Smyth, Gould and Quincy sp-
peared for the defense.
Poland, opening for the prosecution, de-
clsr.d there was no doubt, in view of the
evidence obtained by the authorities, tn at a
conspiracy was in existence in America, the
| purpose of which was the destruction of
public buildings in this country; that the
factor invoked By The coDspirators Was dyna-
mite; that some of the man now on trial in
this court came from the United States for
the purpose OF putting their diabolIcal
| schemes into operation; that they had fur
nished The means and men TO establish The
recently discovered dynamite manufsctory
| in Birmingham, and that Gallagher, Wilson
Whitehead at his place in Birmingham
with the purpose Of sending 10 Lon
don supply of explosives. In this
connection dates were an important
| link in the chain of evidence. Norman, on
the 22d of March, went 10 Euston Square to
! live. He remsined fourteen days; then, on
| April ID, went 10 Birmingham, saying he
was going TO get his luggsge. He did not
return at the appointed time. His plan was,
| without doubt, changed while in Birmiug-
ham, and it was decided he should take a
package OF nitrO-g lycerine 10 the Southaup'
| ton street Hotel, where Gallagher hired a
rsom for Norman. The latter autographed
| Gallagher on the Oh of April thst he would
| return to his quarters in Eustou Square. He
| did come back, and at Euston Square a man
took the box brought by Norman, contain
| ing soms bags OF nitro-g Iycsrine, and left
them at the place in Southampton street,
where the police subsequently made the ar
rests. Poland proposed 10 show that Nor
man and Wilson repeatedly communal
Gated with Gallagher, known as Fletcher.
Wilson visited Gallagher, saying bis
| tutor telegrsphed him on the Sd
| of April, 81 am sorry l cannot
ace you to day. l must call on Alfred [sup-
| posed to mean Whitehead and will see you
Tomorrow" Il wss well KNOWN that Wilson
| went 70 Birmingham with an empty port
mantsau and returned with nitro glycsrine
| in il. Norman's statement that be had been
engaged by a gentleman from the United
| States as clerk, was a tissue Of falsehoods
To show that Gallagher was really the dis.
penser of the funds OF the society, Poland
pointed out the fact he had in his possession
when arrested els in English notes, stamped
| by New York firm the came way in which
the noe taken from Norman wzE stampe4
Il was clesr, therefore, that he was one o.
the principal conspirstors, and not an limo
cent clerk or even dupe of 4 sharp rascal
GIllsgher himself brought the sinews Of wsl
from Inc United States. Gallagher himself
communicated with ali subordinate conspirs
tors. Gallagher telegraphed Whitehead or
