Solicitor then proceeded to describe other

TO explain to the Court. This fell out OF
q sack belonging to the prisoner while the
police were examining his luggage.
Col. Majendi, chief inspector OF expio-

Resuming review OF the prisoners
conduct while in the city OF London,
80 far as the government detec-
tiyes had been able to trace it out,
Poland said 1t was January 18th last,
that Cunningham moved 10 Scarboro street
from lodgings in Prescott street. The
Scarboro street lodgings were quite near
to the ones deserted. The brown trunk
which had been moved from Broad street
station TO the Prescott street house and
which disappeared from Lamar Place be-
fore the prisoners removal thence, was
taken away during the temporary absence
OF tho prisoner from the house.
TIE HAIR TRUNK.
Just before going out Cunningham told
the landlady the brown trunk belonged to
a friend who might call for it, but il he
called for itduring the prisoner'sgabsence
to ask him to remain IL convenient until |
his return, as he would not be gone long.
A stranger called and departed, but the |
iandlady did not notice whether he took
the trunk. Subsequently she observed
the trunk was gone; that box OF similar
shape and size and color had been substi-
tuted for 1t in the prisoners room. The
detectives had traced this brown box and
found it had been purchased in White
chapel in the vicinity of the Prescott lodg.
irgs the same day the prisoner left the
n.essage concerning the trunk with the
lan,llady and presumably by the prisoner
for the very purpose Of substitution.
In the Prescott street house, continued
Poland, Cunningham gave his name as
Gilbert. He told the landlady he was by
occupation commercial traveller. When
he moved to the Scarboro street lodgings
he gave his name as Dalton. 10 the land |
lady here hc gave Ills occupation as that
Of q grocery clerk, but he told her he did
not like the work and was seeking other
employment.
When the examination concluded the
crowd that pressed around the building
numbered many thousands. The adjoin.
ing housetops and every window in the
neighborhood were crowded with people |
curious TO catach glimpse OF Cunning. |
During the progress OF the van, which
conveyed the prisoner back to Clerken-
well prison, the streeta along the route
were lined with liles Of special police and
fairly swarmed with detectives.
