lined by policemen and every precaulion
TO prevent rescue was taken. The pris-
osners appeared perfectly calm.
The prisoners were arranged before
Judge Inghsm. Smythe, Gould and

Of buildings in this country; that tbs fac
tor invoked by the eonspirators was dy

trial in court came from the
United States for the pur-
pose OF putting their schemes into
operation, that they had furnished
means and men to establish the recently
discovered dynamite mandatory in
Birmingham, and chat Gallagher, Will
son and Norman visited the manufae-
tory Of Whitehead, sts his place in Biz
ming ham, with the purpose Of sending 10
London supply OF explosives. ln this
connection dates were an important linz
in the chain Of evidence. Norman on
the 22d of March went to Euston Square
to live. He remained fourteen days;
then on April I'd, he went to BirmiDg-
ham, saying he YVES going 10 get his lug
gsge. He did not return at the appointed
time. HIS plan was without DOUBT
changed while in Birmingham and it WAS
decided that he should take d
package OF nitro glycetine to the
Southam gton Street Hotel, where
Gallagher had room for Norman. L e
latter telegrsPhed Gallagher on the 9th
of April that he would return to his
quarters in Euston Square. He did
come back and OF Euston Square man
took the box brought by Norman con-
tanning some bags of nitro-glycerine and
left them at the place in Southampton
street where the police subsequently
made the arrests. Poland proposed to
show that Norman and Wilson repeatedly
communicated With Gallagher. Known

was clear, therefore, that he was one 0
the principal conspirators, and not al

brought the sinews OF war from tn
