AmerO's ExtraditiOn.

HALIFAX, n. s., May 81.
Application has been made to Judge Rig
ley for writ OF habess corpus, to bring up
and discharge Roger Amero, now lying in
Jail at Digby, awaiting extradition to the
United States for the murder of Mrs. Garlic
ton at Watertown, Mass. The act provides
that before fugitive can be removed he
shall be retained in the British territory for
10 days, so as to enable him to make applica-
ton under the habeus corpas act. Yesterday
was the 18th day of Amero's commitment
Numerous technical grounds are taken
against the regular proceedings, but the chief
ground for his discharge seems to be the in
sufiiciency of the evidence to justify the
charge, together with the suspicious charac-
ter Of much of the evidence.
The judge granted an order of nisi, which
will be argued before the full bench in July.
Meanwhile the extrsdition is stayed.

spiracy.

LONDON, May Of.
In the central criminal court TODAY the re-
corder, charging the grand jury, referred to
the dynamite conspirators, Gallagher, White
head and others. and said that the indictment
against them would charge the prisoners with
treason and felony. He stated that Lynch,
alias Norman, who turned informer, had been
permitted to give evidence for the Queen.
He would describe the plans of the Fenian
conspiracy which existed in America.
Lynch's evidence, he said, would be most
fully coroborated by other witnesses. A
second indictment, he said. would be pre-
ferred against six of the prisoners, including
Lynch. Lynch would also be permitted to
give Queens evidence in this case. The
grand jury returned true bills in all cases
within an hour after the receiving of the
recorders charge.
