TRACING TIE DYNAMITEURS.
WITNESSES IDENTIFY CUNNINGHAM.

sUPPosED TO HAVE CAUSED THE UNDERGR0C
hallway EXPLOSIONS.
LONDON, Feb. At Is stated to-day that several
persons have identified Cunningham as the man
VINO was seen I'm the immediate vicinity Of each of
the recent Underground Railway explosions direct
~ after their occurrence, who disappeared before
the police had time to gather at the scene. The de-
tectlves have long been on the watch for this man,
but were unable to trace him from the descriptions
given by persons who happened to be in the vcin-
lty OF the explosions. Chief Superintendent Will
Hanson, OF Scotland Yard, yesterday looking
over written description Of the man. was struck
WIN the exactncss with which it tailed with Cum
nlnghams appearance. He Immediately sent for
tho persons who gave the descriptions aud they
identified Cunnin CHAM as the man from among FIVE
against Cunningham.
In addition to the general evidence collected by
the police against Cunningham as of the
dynamiteurs who were active in last years ex-
plosions at different stations on the Underground
Railway in London, superintendent Williamson
has obtained special information which will prob
ably warrant an indictment against the prisoner
for causing the explosion on January near the
Go"er street Station. The guard on the attacked
tram and The sergeant of police who examined the
passengers when the train arrived at the Cover
Street station, have identified Cunningham as one
or the three men who at that time were suspected
OF having caused the explosion. These three men
rode In the guards OF the train, from which 1t
Is supposed the dynamite was dropped The
names OF all the other passengers were taken, but
these three escaoed not however. before they had
been carefully scrutinizcd by the guard and the
sergeant Of police.
After the conclusion Of gham's examination
on Monday he was placed among q number of
Others, when the guard picked him out as of
the three suspects Cunningham. during the in
spection, was uneasy and kept his hat pulled down
In an attempt TO evade recognition.
The m1n who was arrested IN Whitechape on
Tuesday evening with Cunninghams missing
brown box in his possession was today kept closely
confined in Cierkenwen. The police refuse 10 give
hls name. Among his effects found several
impor ant clewS 10 the identity of other accom-
pceS, the descriptions OF two of whom have al
ready been published by the police III order to
facilitate the work Of capturing them.
The pullce officials in charge of the Clerkenwell
prison, where CunnIn CHAM and GoOdy wear con-
fined, and the Scotland Yard detectives were
startled today by information that attempt
wOuld be made to rescue the prisoners by destroy
ing the buildings with dynamite Tho prison was
immediately placed under guard of special con-
stables An extra force of detectives has been de-
tailed 10 patrol the different streets leading from
rkeuwell 10 the Bow Street Police Court.

strangers recently visited dynamite factory near
