The Police Said to "Be on the
Track"
I.oSnoS, Jan. 9C.-The excitement and
anger enkindled by the dynamite explo-
sions still continue. A rumor was cur
rent last evening and this morning that
Cunningham, who was arrested at the
Tower, would have a hearing to-day at
the Thames police court and that its vi.
cinity would be crowded with elated citi-
zens, and extra police were placed on
duty to keep order. The feeling against
Cunningham is bitter. fthe crowd once
get hands on him he will be Iynched.
Shortly after noon II was learned the
detectives had arrested another man in
connection with the explosions, and he
and Cunningham will be arraigncd to-
gethcr ut tile Bow street police court.
People in the vicinity OF the Thames court
then left in the direction OF the Bow street
court.
Cunningham was conveyed to Bow
street police court to-day by q strong guard
of police, charged OIL suspicion ofcompici-
ty in the explosion at the Tower OF LON
don. The prisoner is 25 years OF age, OF
medium height, dark hair and eyes, sharp
features and sinister expression. He
smilingly surveyed the court and crowd
which congregated within TO get n glimpse
Of an alleged dynamiter. Inspector ABB
berline deposed hecxamined the prisoner
ut the Tower; that he, the prisoner was
confused, aud gave contradictory answers
toquestions propounded the prisoner by
the Inspector. lie first gave u wrong
address as his place OF abode; then he.
stated he, lived in Scarboro street, White
chapel, worked in the docks at Liverpool
until tho beginning OF the year. when he
came 10 London 10 try 10 better himself.
Heforinerly resided in Amorica; made
voyages on The steamship Adriatic, OF the
White Star Line. Tho Inspector further
derosed the prisoner was known ut his
lodgings in NYhitechapel as Dalton.
a box and a bag belonging to the pris.
oner has been seized by the police. The
contents have notIyct been made known,
Inquiry by telegraph revealed the fact
that Cunningham is unknown as alleged
at the lodging house in Liverpool. The
proprietor OF tho house there said he
could remember no such man as the one
described rs Cunningham: Q Tie prisoners
hands are horny, indicating that he is
used tohartl work. In speaking he has a
strong 'Irish-American accent. He nd.
mitted the constable was correct in his
deposition but refused Il. say anything
further. He was remanded until Tues.
day February 81.
The examination Of Cunningham has
tended TO convince the police that they
had secured a prisoner wliotliad guilty
knowledge OF Saturdays crimes. It was
proven Cunningham was native Of Cork,
that he lived at least live years in the Uni
ted States and he arrived In England dn-
ring the last autumn. He came directly
from Now York. His pretense that he
was IN Engiishman was we'll carried out
few hours after his arrest his appearance
favoring It and his drawling stammer be-
ing peculiarly Cockneyish, but in the ex-
element under close cross examination
OF tho court he forgot himself and spoke
rapidly and distinctly as an elocutionist.
He clearly demonstrated his cockneylsm
was clever piece OF dissimulation.
cUNNIN6HA1I-lI MAKES A REVELATION.
It is reported that Cunningham has
made animportant revelation, in conse.
quenceof which all trains leaving London
for seaport towns arc accompanied by de-
tectives. There was not the slightest
trace OF any mechanical apparatus or fuse
found in the Tower or Parliament build
ings. This fact strengthens the opin.
ion that no Internal machine was
used, but the agency employed was
dynamite in some simple form containing
Ave or six pounds OF explosives, being de-
posted in the Tower and Government
building. The ventilation chamber OF the
