New York to avoid being extradited

government
Sheridan had intended going
west previous to my reading Of In.
former Carey's references to me at
Dublin trials, but l have now decided
remaining in New York. If any ennis.

to know where I am he will find me
at my desk In The Irish World tfi 80,
every day in the week. r
aRepoiter--D1 you not think the
consequences might be serious if you

the Britieh government got me into
its clutches I would certainly bs hang.

could easily disprove, every charge
which Informer Carey has sworn
against me. My innocence or guilt
would not effect the issue.
Reporter-With such fears on your
mind, would 1t not be better TO move
to some country having no extradition

Sheridan If there were no other
considerations than my individual
safety, I might be induced to think
so, but l feel my safety here should
not come to that. 1t will result IL
