THE DUBLIN TRIALS.
Special Dispatche, TO TIE BHK.
WASHINGTON, Msy 3.--There is no
truth in the London rumors that the
United States government consented
to extradite lyman, Walsh and Sheri.
dan. The department have not re.
oeived any communication upon the
subject.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The Express
says the necessary aft davits to secure
the extrsdition Of lyman, mo. L.
have been here for nearly two weeks.
A diligent search for Sheridan and
Walsh, who have been indicted In
Dublin for the murders of Cavendish
and Burke, were made to-day, but
neither could be found.
New YORK, Nay 3 John Welsh,
who was seen by q Tribune reporter
t,.night said: "I am of course not
guilty of any connection with the
Phoenix Park murders. If I could
have obtained fair trial In Dublin
before an impartial Jury I should
never have left England. But In
Dublin at present on the testimony oil
perjured informers they could a.
easily fiud an indictment against you
as against me for completely In the
Phoenix park muruers. We are used
to that sort of that thing In Ireland. u
A World reporter asked Sheridan
ID you regard the murder of Caven
dish aud Burke as q political offsnse2
Sheridan replied, II do not think
anybody should think otherwise. The
government officials themselves admit
1t to be political offense. Trevelyan
chief secretary for Ireland, in one o.
his speeches, raid 1t was one of the
first political offences ever committed
In Ireland and IL he regards 1t as {
political offsnse l am willing to acoep
him as suffi ,ient u;horlty on the sub
jsct at least Certainly no person car
be extradited from this country f,r ,
political offense."
The World reporter called on Alex
ander Sullivan, of Chicago, presiden
of the Irish N atlonal Lsague of Amer
lea, and asked what action, II any, the
League would take officially If a de
mand WAS made for the extrAdition o
John Walsh, P. j. Sheridan and Pc
ter lyman.
81 don't see," answered Sullivan
promptly, "that any action In thes,
ceses will come within the provinc,
of the League. Whatever assistauc,
may be rendered to these gentlemen
In defending themselves, If de
Tense be necessary, by de
mand for their extradition, will
doubtless come from private sources
and I have no doubt bu
tina. from private sources abun
dance of aid will be given them, bu
1t will readily be seen If ths leagu
were to begin taking action In cases o
this character Its time aud resource
would soon be demanded In man,
matters entirely extraneous to 1t
platform aud not included In tn
principles upon which itwas organized
My individual opinion is there ar
cases which come clearly under tn
head Of political otfenses, and Englan
herself has established q preceden
which should govern Us in deal
ling with these cases. Tn
Orsini Gaze Is an illustrativ
one. In these cases 1t seems q
though much stronger evidenc
should be required than that alread
made public to justify the extraditio
of these men. / think the govern
ment of the U llted States should nc
surrender upon any demand fcor
Eaglaud for the extradition of an
man or any number of men on tn
evidence Of informsrs, who COZ ,s
themselves to be delib srate perjurei
and assassins."
To q question of The World r,
porter Cd, you think tho Engl!s
government will succeed In obtainin
your extradition from this country
John Walsh answered, L do nc
know what the American governmer
may do In the ma ter. thought tn
investigation at Paris proved my In
nocence conclusively l thought VII G

euro. Iwould not care at all If the
would only bring the informers owe
to this country and try me here wit
an American ju ige and jury, but tn
mere fact of my being tried In Dubl
will convict me, as they have IL
happy faculty of convicting anybod
they want to, l can procure IL
most convincing evidence that I W

To same reporter p. j. Sherld,
