circle, to which the prisoners belonged, LAME
also testified that Poole came to him on the
night Informer Kenney was murdered, and
gave him full account of how the deed was
done, The prisoners were remanded for one

The Freeman's Journal says that the dyna-
mite plot, Matched in America, was betrayed
| to the British consul at New York The
| name of every conspirator who came to Eng
| land, and the ship on which he sailed was
cabled to England directly after the vessel
| left New York. The police watched the con-
| spirators from the time they landed in Eng
land. The Freemans Journal also says
member of the governing council of the con-
| spirators could alone have given such in
| formation.
| Speculation is rife here as to the reason for
! the sudden action of the authorities in sub
mittlng to the grand jury at this late day a
| bill OF willful murder against Walsh, lyman
and Sheridan. Whether the crown has Sc
cured any further evidence against these
men is not known 1t is rumored the action
is the result of correspondence with the Unit
| ed States government. 1t is well known
that some time ago the British government
was moving in the direction of Sheridan's
extradition. Such was reported here and in
London. Some excitement was also caused
in New York at the probability of Sheridan's
extradition being demanded by the crown.
Nothing, however, was done beyond CORE
| spondence, and the question of Sheridan's
extradtion was quietly dropped. Walsh,
too, was allowed to get away from France,
although he was arrested by the French
| police and examined. 1t is now thought that
| the United States government has intimated
| that these men could not be given up-not,
| at least until they were formally indicted
for willful murder and regular war
rants issued for their apprehension,
and that this is the secret of the
present action of the crown officers in secur-
ing true bills against them. This action on
the part of the crown is regarded as very
significant, and the general opinion is that
it is backed up by the friendly attitude of
the United States government and some ad-
ditional evidence obtained from the numer-
ous informers. The government intends to
lay hold of all the alleged leaders in the
murder conspiracy.
| 1t is positively stated that the necessary
papers have been prepared and will be for
warded to Washington by special agent by
the steamer leaving Queenstown tomorrow,
and that cable messages have been sent to
keep the accused men under surveillance as
it is indeed said they have been kept for
weeks. There is considerable difference of
opinion here respecting the probable action
of your government, but professional judg-
ment is that the bill of Indictment gives, as
already suggested, prima facie claim for
eXtradition
