sheridan, Walsh and s'NumbeF Ouo''
lyman Indicted by tho Dablin
Grand Jury.-A Sensation Caused
BY an Expected Demand from Bri-
tain for Their Extradttion.
A Dublin dispatch Of the Sd says: The
grand Jury has returned true bills against
Peter lyman (number one), John Walsh and
p. J. Sheridan, and . bill - accessory to the
murder atter the fact against Fits Harris.
Walsh and Sheridan are in America and Ty-
nan is supposed to to be there also. It 10
understood that the government will demand
their extrAdi,ion from America.
The London Times says: II demand
for tho extradition of lyman, Walsh and
Sheridan be made It will be based, not
on 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 COVER -
ment with regard to the extradition Of any
Of tho 1rishmen now in the United states
Who have been recently accused of crime in
Great Britain.
Agreat deal of interest 10 manifested a.
to tho result of the expected demand for
tho extradition of the Irish oonspirators in
dicted in Dublin to day, and suspected to
be in this country. The twenty.sev enth
article of the Jay treaty of 1794. reads -
follows:
It is further agreed that her majesty and
the United States, on mutual regulations
by them respectively; or by their re-
spective ministers or officers author
lied to make the same, ill delive, up
to Justice oil persons who being charged
with murder or forgery committed within
the jurisdiction OF either, shall seek
IN asylum within any of the
countries of the other, provided that this
shall only be done on such evidence of
oriminality o., according to the laws OF the
pace whers the fugitive or person 90 chare-
ed shall be found, would justify his appre-
henslOn and Commitment for trial. it the
offence had there been committed. The
expense OF such apprehension and delivery
shall be borne and betrayed by those who
make the requisition and receive tho fugi-
tive.
1t IL clear, under this treaty, which has
never been modified, except to be extended
with reference 10 extradition. that our gov
eminent will be Obliged to surrender the
men iftoond, provided prima facie case il
made against them.
Patrick J. Sheridan since coming to Ame,i-
ca has been employed in the office of the
AAASAA W O4AUs 1Ao u1E ueIotOIOre Cl01meO 10
have been in France at the time of the mur-
ders. In IN interview this evening, he said:
l am not greatly alarmed about the in.
d ctment. see no reason for apprehen-
sion. I stand here coolly and fearlessly
awaiting the result oftheir worst efforts.
=. he declined to state where he was at tho
tins Of the murders, saying when he Was
placed on trial he would answer that ques-
ton.
John Walsh also in New York, says, am,
Of course, not guilty of any connection with
the Phoenix park tragedy. The investiea-
ton at Paris proved that conclusivaly. I
thought when came to this country that
would be secure. Iwould not care at eli il
they, would only bring the lntormers over
to this country and try me here, with an
Amarican judge aud jury, but the mere
fact Of my being tried in Dublin will con-
vict me, a. they. have happy faculty OF
convicting anybody there that they want
to. can procure most convincing evi-
dence that was in small village in Eng
land at the time oi the Dublin tragedy. I
do not know what the American govern
nnent may do in the matter.
