Conviction Of Dynamitsrs In London.


The trial Of Cunningham and Burton was
brought to . conclusion recently: Tho court
room was crowded, among the notables being
United States Minister Phelps. The prisoners
wore an anxious look and followed Judge
Hawkins charge with intense interest The
drift Of the charge was clearly against the
prisoners The judge, after explaining the ma
ture OF the charge against the prisoners, ana
lyzed tho evidence, calling the jury's attention
to the fact that Bt1rton's statement was not
made under oath, and therefore entitled to
very little credence. Tho jury retired, and in
fifteen minutes, returned with verdict Of
guilty against both prisoners The court at
once sentenced both to penal servitude for life
The announcement was received by the spec
tators with applause. Cunningham maintained
his self-compOsure, but Burton broke down and
sobbed when the verdict was rendered. When
asked why the sentence of law should not BIZ

he was innocent He said he was willing to
accept penal servitude for life, but they could
not touch his soul Burton simply declared

A delegation representing the Grand Army

on the president Secretary Manning, and
Gen. Black, commissioner of pensions. They
asked that the law giving the prefer
ence in appointments to ex-union SOL
diors shall be enforced wherever re-
movals are made, and that whenever reduc-
tons of force are made, the reasons may be
given. The president assured the delegation
that he desired to do all that could be done for
the old soldiers; that as president it was his
duty to see that all the laws of the United
States are enforced and that he recognized
the claims Of the old soldiers upon the gov
eminent: But, he said, it was impossible
for him to give his attention to
individual cases. The delegates then
asked that he allow them the privilege of lay
ing before him the violations of the laws in
question which should come under their no.
tice, and they asked, further, that, when such
cases are brought to his attention. he gave
them immediate attention The president cor
daily assented to these requests, and said that
he would be glad at any time to receive any
communication from them, and would give Ill
their communications proper attention.
