lyman Indicted by the Dublin
Grand Jury.--A Sensation Caused
by an Expected Demand from Bri.
tain for Their EXiradition.
A Dublin dispatch Of the 81 says: The
grand jury has returned true bills against
Peter lyman (number One), John Walsh and
Z. }. Sheridan, and a bill as accessory to the
murder after the fact against Fitz Harris.
Walsh and Sheridan are in America and Ty-
| nan is supposed to TO be there also. II is
understood that the government will demand
their extradition from America.
The London Times says: Ii a demand
for the extradition Of lyman, Walsh and
Sheridan be made it will be based not
Oh the charge OF general conspiracy, which
! must be held mere political aspect but on
specific criminal accusation.
A Washington dispatch says: No COM
municetion has been received by the British
legation in this city from the home govern
ment with regard to the extradtiOn of any
OF the Irishmen now in the United States
who have been recently accused Of crime in
Great Britain.
A great deal of interest is manifested as
to the result of the expected demand for
the extradtion of the Irish conspiratUrs in
dicted in Dublin to day, and suspected to
be in this country. The twenty seventh
article of the Jay treaty OF 1894 reads rs
follows:
1t is further agreed that her majesty and
the United States, on mutual requistiOns
by them respectively; or by their re-
spectiye ministers or officers author
lied to make the same, will deliver up
to justice all persons who being charged
with murder or forgery committed within
The jurisdiction of either, shall seek
an asylum within any Of the
countries OF the other, provided that this
shall only be done on such evidence of
criminalty rs, according to the laws of the
place where the fugitive or person so charg-
ell shall be found, would justify his appre-
hensiOn and commitment for trial, il the
offence had there been committed. The
expense of such apprehension and delivery
shall be borne and betrayed by those who
make the requsitiOn and receive the fugi-
tive.
1t is clear, under this treaty, which has
never been modified, except to be extended
with reference 20 extradition, that our gov
ernment will be Obliged to surrender the
men iftound, p.ovided prima facie case is
made against them.
Patrick }. Sheridan since coming 10 Ame!-
ca has been employed IN the once or tne
Irish World. He has heretOfo fore claimed TO
have been in France at the tine of the MUIR
ders. In al interview this evening, he said:
am not greatly alarmed about the in
ctment. ! see no reason for apprehen-
sion. | stand here coOlly and fearlessly
awaiting the result Oftheir worst efforts.
lie declined t. state where he was at the
time Of the murders, saying when he was
placed on trial he would answer that ques-
ton.
John Walsh also in New York, says, anl,
OF course, not guilty of any connection with
the Phmnix park tragedy. The ihvestiga-
ton at Paris proved that conclusively. !
