THE PROPOSED ExTRApITIoN
OF SHERIDAN, WALSH AND lyman C'So. I'')
THE LAW AND TIE FACTS OF THEIR CASE.
NEW YorK--Mr. Howard Psyson Wildes,
the authority on international lay, when
asked whether he thought the accused could
be extradited, said:
off the evidence igainst theEl is The same
as the other cOnsplI ators were found guilty
upon, they are properly chargeabIs with
murder, and murder being one Of the f.lo-
nies mentioned in the extrsdition treaty.
they having been indicted by the proper su-
thorliies, they are OF course liable 10 pro.
ceeding OF extradition. l myself have mad
grave doubts whether the evidence against
Sheridan, Walsh aud Tynsn could be ex-
tended 70 as TO make thea amenable 10 the
Law, but the British government having a.
cured indictments IT IS to be presumed tn II
there must DE such evidence"
"Whst evidence is neoesssty 10 secure ez.
tradition?"
"rhe evidence % the connection with the
crime m&y conSis', wholly or in part, Of the
original de positi1us OF the witnesses duly
autneni Gated. Ekrsdition Can only ee
JusOsled when the ofiense il so FAR established
TIA. under the laws OF our country the per-
son would be liable Tor apprehension ani
commit:sl il the crime were ComnI ted
here. The sccUsed msg resist extradIiion
by testing the evidence"
Glzncing over the law, Mr.. Wildes aid,
as the reporter prepared TO leave: SIT il suf-
ficient that the IugiTiyes, for they must be
fugitives from justice 10 be smenable to The
treaty, were convicted or charged before ihs
courts or criminal magistrates of Great Brit
ain with crime mentioned IN the treaty"
The news of the Indictment of eiidap,
Walsh and lyman by the grand jury did not
have a very depressing effect upon O'Douo-
van Rosa, Patrick Ford, OF the Irish World,
aud Others interested il the cause they rep
resent Patrick J. Sheridan is one of The
editors OF the Irisk World. He was not At
his Office to-day, it being his day eff duty.
Patrick Ford, the publisher OF the paper,
said: "Mr Sheridan has waited here day sf
ter day, ever sin e the talk of his probable
arrest began, 10 be takeu into custody. |
don't think this news will alarm him very
much. Ny impression is that he cannot be
s1tradited ! am OF the opinion that il his
extrsditi0n is applied for the United States
will view the crime charged az Ainst him as
conspiracy, which does not come within Inc
treaty. Il would be grand victory for the
E1glish government 10 extrsdits him, be-
cause he hss b,ea go outspoken in MS opin-
ion. Had he ruu away or kept quiet, they
might not have bothered about him"
"Where was he when the Ph9aiI Park
murders were committadY
ala France, ne told ms short time ago,
and the news vas communicated TO him oy
Father Sheehy, who called upon him while
ne was ia bed at his hotel"
when was he last ia Great BtItainp
"I cannot tell. II must have been a
short time before."
ODJnovau Rosa was next visited. He
had not he ard the news before the reporter
communicated it to him.
geen indicted, have they? Hal ha! Well,
what of III" he said, on receiving the in
formation.
"They may be exlradited."
"Nonsens p he vehemently exclaimed.
England cant get them"
They NAV, under the treaty"
ais it on perjured evi1s snce? Never. We
Kicked Res slaGa-eut- Of thia country 100
year. ago, and We will do il again in this
case.n
"We?' echoed the reporter.
"Yes, wel' the great Rosa replied. "We
Americans"
"What would be done by those in s7mpa-
thy with Sheridan, Walsh aud lyman in the
event of their arrestY
"Eyerylhirg possible 10 prevent their ex-
tradition. England would have 10 send her
informers over here TO make out cass
against them
The reporter doubled this, wherenpon
Rosa affirmed: "fhe same point WAS raised
in the case Of Michael Day, about thirty
years ago. He shot Lord Norberry aud came
20 this country, snd Janes I. Brady de-
tended him, and pending the eItrsdiiion
Proceedings, prevented his rescue by his
friends Upon the examination before the
United States authorities, he insisted hat
the British should bring thsir witnesses hsre.
This they did GOT do. Tue result, Day was
discharged. Ii they seud wiinesses oVer in
this case, they bad better send Forster over
to protect them."
"Do you know where Walsh and lyman
now are?"
"John Walsh was in here yesterday"
''Apd TynanP
'I can't tell that. | have heard that he
is in Mexico, where they can't touch bin.
Why? Because there is no treaty between
that country and Eogiand"
when will the grand dynamite conveu-
tion be heid?'

say. l wish l bad nv way" he said, in
conclusion; 81 would kilt every E1glishman

AleKanter Sullivan, OF Chicago, president
Of the Irsi National League, said: 81 don't
know on shst ground it is proposed by the
British government to demand he extrs di-
tiOn Of Wash, Sheridan and lyman. | DO
not think II will be granted on the testimony
OF informeTs, at least such testimony as tnty
have given. New and certain evidence OF
persons Of respectable connection will be re-

conspiracies. The mere statement or the
single charge will not avail ANYTHING, and

Indeed, we are yet hardly through discussing
