Cunningham. the london Dynau1ter.

The examination Of James Cunningham
charged with completely in causing the recent
explosion in the Tower of London, was begun
in the Brown street police court Monday
morning. Poland, the solicitor, in opening
intended to prove that the prisoner was an
active agent in the conspiracy which
eliminated in the horrible outrage
at the Tower. The solicitor then re-
lated the facts in regard to the prisoners
movements at Liverpool and at London from
the time of his arrival at Liverpool from Amer
lea up to the date of his arrest at the Tower, a
few minutes after the explosion occurred; his
travelling under the assumed names of Gilbert
es connected with his stay at both the above
cities. Poland dwelt particularly on the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of a peculiar box from
the prisoners lodgings in Scarboro street i'm
mediately after Cunningham's arrest. Poland
laid stress upon the facts in order to show that
Cunningham was in league with others who
must have been instructed in the line of action to
be taken of his arrest P bland further said that
witnesses could be produced to prove that
Cunningham had for several days previous to
the explosion been seen lettering in and around
the Tower of London. He then produced
small detonator found IN the prisoners
baggage, and said it was similar to
those used in the previous dynamite out
RACES, indicating that the prisoner might
have been connected with those crimes. In
conclusion Poland asked that Cunningham be
arraigned under the explosive act on charge
Of conspiracy, and said he might possibly, at
later day, request that the charge be chang
ID to high treason, so that the penalty Of the
latter crime would be melted out to him, as the
dynamite outrages could DO construed as
acts in the war of a rebellious people.
