Cunningham's Case.

Cunningham's Case.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-At the examination
of Cunningham yesterday, Poland,
crown solicitor, said that Cunningham
was charged, under the explosive act,
with having caused the tower explosion,
and if his guilt should be established he
was liable to Imprisonment for life.
with hard labor. If he should be found
guilty of only having explosives in his
possession, with intent to use them
illegally, he was liable TO twenty wears
Imprisonment, and he is liable to four
teen years Imprisonment at hard labor
il he should be proved of having dyna-
mite in his possession under circum-
stances warranting the belief that he
intended using it for Illegal purposes.
The crown, if it could prove Cunning
ham as criminal who actually caused
the explosion at the tower, had
the right to have the charge,
as made against the prisoner,
withdrawn and have him tried instead
for high treason for attempting to des-
troy and for destroying the queens
arsenal and military stores. The
solicitor closed his address by stating
that he hoped to be able upon some
future occasion to produce evidence to
show that one Of the worst effects of the
panic produced by the recent outrage
was that 1T caused so many employees to
play right into the hands
of the dynamiters. Some firms in
London and others In Leeds and
others in Sheffield were dismissing all
their Irish employees. One of the largest
publishing houses in London on Satur-
day. dismissed every person of Irish
birth. Previous to remanding the pris-
oner, in answer TO the request for the
privilege of an interview with Cunning
ham, made by Quinlan, one OF the coun-
sci Tor the defense, Judge Ingraham re-
Piled that nobody would be allowed to
see or converse with the
prisoner without a special per-
init from Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
home secretary. BY the time the ex-
animation was concluded, the crowd
that had pressed around the building
numberes many thousand. The adj
joining house tops and every window in
the neighbOrhood were crowded with
| people, curions to see Cunningham.
During the progress of the van which
conveyed the prisoner back TO Clerken-
well prison, the streets along the route
were lined with police, and fairly
swarmed with people. With the excep-
ton of the prisoner, all gave
| account OF themselves, submitting
without examination and answering
questions put to them. The prisoner,
Poland thought, was found among those
detained because he dared not, after the
explosion, attempt to hurry away for
lear OF attracting the attention of the
police. Immediately after his detention
AT tho tower Cunningham answered
w hfNN
contradicted himself In 80
many ways, and betrayed such
guilty anxiety that he was placed under
arrest on suspicion q being concerned
in some way in the explosion, and de-
teotives were then assigned to hunt up
the prisoners history aud almost every
step they took tended to the conviction
that the prisoner wasa one of the
principals in that days dynamite out
rage. The point dwelt on by Poland
was the fact that no writing was found
in the lodging occupied by Cum
nlngham. Although he did
lnueh writing himself, lie
OF ms correspondence as In the memo
randum books found among his effects
every page that had borne any writing
was found carefully torn out. The So
letter then proceeded to describe the
other evidence found against Cunning
ham. Among this was detonator,
which Poland produced and exhibited
to the court, This fell out of trunk
belonging to the prisoner while the po-
lice were eXaming his baggage. Col.
Majendie, chief inspector of explosives,
had found the detonator, and pro-
nounced 1t a machine used in the ex-
plosion of dynamite. The detonator was
OF the Kind used to produce conclusion
and toeXplode dynamite, and was oper-
ated by means OF fuse.
1T WOULD RE INTERESTING.
considerable excitement was pro-
duced to-day by the announcement
that friends of Cunningham, accused of
having caused the explosion at the
tower of London, are already beginning
to take steps to rescue him from Clerk
enwell prison. Early this morn
ing the police observed a man loiter-
Ing in the vicinity of the prison.
They watched his movements closely.
FINALLY when they saw him put some
thing in letter box the governor of the
pison arrested him. When taken be-
fore a magistrate the prisoner said his
name was Goodyear; that he had re.
Gently been discharged from the lunatic
asylum. The package which the pris-
oner dropped into the governors box
was a small parcel OF paper on which
were number of figures. The police
declare that the prisoner Is known
TO them; that he had
served term of Imprisonment
and that his testimony in regard to him
self is false.

depositing the paper In the box was
