Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-04-07


director OF the criminal Investigation de-
psrtment, was witnessing the perform
ance of the Carl Rosa Company. The
communication was to the effect that a
large quantity of dynamite had been con-
signed from Liverpool to an s3dress within
the territory OF &c" division, which iizcludes
Haymarket and Regent street. 1t is ex-
pected that srresis more important than
those already made will soon be efscl-
ed. The portion of the nitro glycerine
known to have been made in tie
| Birmingham factory was hitherto untraced ;
therefore it is surmised that The eonsign-
ment from Liverpool originated in Bnmins-
ham. An Internal machine Of $ most sci
entifc and destructive character has been
| found during the last few days The police
| propose TO publish a description of this
instrument. Msgisterial investigation will
show that the persons arrested in Lon
don, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cork,
are all members of the same organ
ization, and have been supported by funds
regularly received from America. 1t ia
reported that plan of both Houses of Par
lament was found on one of the prisoners.
A bill will be Introduced in the House OF
Commons providing penalties for the posses
4 zion of explosives, aud will probably be
enacted the coming week. The bill imposes
period of penal seryitude upon all persona
| found in improper possession of dynamite
| and ether explosives of q similar char scter.
| Special detectives are placed at all depo.s
| where trains arrive from the north. 1t is
| probable that within a few days the nitro
gIycerine taken from the Plumsi cad marshes
will be removed and rendered harmless by
| being spread ON ploWed land. The recep.
tacles in which it is contained will be cleaned
and produced as evidence at the msgisterial
inquiry.
HOW FLETCHER ESCAPED ARREST.
Dalton describes himself as a compositor
The arrest OF Norman was made too hastily,
it appears as he was to have met Fletcher
later in the day. II allowed to keep this
engagement the police could have arrested
both men. 1t is reported lat Norman q as
m ade overtures to the authorities with the
idea of turning informer. A note found on
Norman wss stamped similar to those found
on Gallagher and Wilson. The policemen
who escorted the prisoners from Bow street
to the House Of Detention were armed with
revoIvers which had been at Bew street sta
ton, but not used since the Fenisn outrages.

suspicious character, known by the name of

Birmingham, is believed to be Fletcher
When Whitehead was arrested he made
great efforts 10 get bottle of liquid from
the cupboard. The windows OF Whitehssd's
room are lined with wire gauz' 10 prevent
missils from entering. About 10 pounds OF
nitro-glycerine in Whitehead's mandatory

to assist in tracing the dynamite fends.

expected through that official redress for the
indignity heaped upon him.
