Arrested In Connection with the Recent
London Dynamite Explosions.
LONDON, Feb. ga suspicious person
who has been lettering in the neighbor
hood OF Glerkenwell prison ever since the
suspect Cunningham's confner ent there
was arrested to-day aud brought before q
police magistrate for examination. He
stated that his name was Goodyear, and
described himself as a laborer. He re.
fused, however, to give any details as 10
where he stopped or from whence he
came. The detectives stated that they
had been Watching Goodyear for some
time and that his movements in and
around the Jail had been carefully noted,
but they refrained from taking him into
custody in the hope that he might afford
aclue tending 10 further show Cunning
hams completely in conspiracy to wreck
the public buildings OF London.
One of the detectives testified that the
prisoner on one occasion stealthily ap-
preached the box Of the Governor Of tile
prison, in which all communications for
the inmates are deposited, and drorped
some papers into It. The box was subse-
quently opened and the papers examined.
A long line OF numerals was found in.
scribed thereon, and these, in the belief OF
the police, were the characters OF a cipher
message 10 Cunningham, to whom the
papers were addressed, from his friends
and co:conspirators. Goodyear protested
his innocence throughout the testimony
ofthe police and repeatedly interrupted
the proceedings by his remarks. At the
conclusion OF the testimony OF the detec-
tiyes and other officials, Goodyear. yolun-
tarily informed the magistrate that he
had been only recently released from an
insane asylum and that he was in no way
connected with any dynamiters.
Thepolice denounced this latter state
ment OF the prisoner as q base fabrication,
and asserted that instead of his having
been released from q lunatic asylum he
had only recently been released from
prison, where he had served for penal
o1ense. The police urged that the
prisoner be remanded, saying they had
no doubt he was an accomplice Of Gun:
ningham. 5,
The magistrate, after reviewing the tes-
timony, stated that while as yet there had
been nothing shown which would di.
rectly connect the prisoner with Cum
ningham's crime, enough had been ad-
duced to warrant his remanding him.
Theprisoner was accordingly remanded
for further hearingy
AsuRR CASE.
The police this evening made another
important arrest in connection with the
recent explosions. The prisoner was pur.
sued for several days and finally run down
by Police Inspectors Jarvis and Aberline,
who have been conducting the prosecu.
tion against Cunningham. It is believed
the man under arrest was an accomplice
of Cunningham. The brown box which
was purchased at Whitechapel and sub.
stituted for Cunningham's brown trunk
in his Prescott street lodgings, and which
mysteriously disappeared from his rooms
in Scarboro street Immediately after the
explosion, was found in possession OF the
man arrested this evening. The prisoner
was discovered hiding in Whitechapel, not
far from the lodgings last occupied by Cum
ningham. 1t is said the police found in
the prisoners possession, besides the
brown box, other evidence OF very i'm.
portant nature, and all the necessary
