Trial of Dynamiters.
LONDON, May 15.-The trial of Cum
ningham and Barton was resumed this
morning. Drs. Ford and Dupre, government
chemists, were examined in regard to ex-
ploSive substances and the case for the
crown was closed. The case for the de-
fense was then opened. Mary O'Brien, a
newspaper vender, was called to the wit
ness stand and swore that Cunningham was
in Miss Cannon's lodging house, where he
had room at the time of the explosion OF
the Metropolitan railway, between Gowery
street and Kings Cross. She said she sold
Cunningham newspaper at the lodging
house on the night the explosion occurred
and that she saw him there from 7:30 to 10
o'clock. The explosion occurred at o'clock.
On being croSs-eXamined the witness said
she had not communicated with Mr.. Quill
Ian, the prisoners counsel Mr.. Quillan
came to her at the end of March, and
then she remembered forthwith all the
circumstances which she had stated. Cath
crime White, who lives at Miss Cannon's
house, confirmed the testimony given by
Mary O'Brien, but admitted that she had
not recollected the circumstance of Cum
ningham'S being at home the night of the
explosion until Mr.. Quillan came and in
formed her of it. She was examined at the
treasury early in February, but did not
then mention the circumstance. She denied
that she had received money to testify for
the defense. Counsel for Burton then sub
mitted that no evidence had been adduced
showing conspiracy, but the judge declared
that that question must be decided by the
jury.
Catherine Whites testimony concluded
the evidence for the defense. Burton made
an oral statement, which was not put in
evidence by the defense. He said: 81 am
entirely innocent. / arrived at Southamp-
ton on the steamship Donan in February,
1884. l came to Europe by the advice of a
doctor for the benefit of my health. I re-
ceived cable on landing stating that my
father had been killed by a Hudson River
railroad car. l forthwith took a train to
London, and went from there to Havre.
and from Havre l returned to New York
on the steamship ST. Laurent. saw my
father buried, and left New York in April
ON the Oregon, and came to London. l
only worked occasionally, because l was
too ILL" The prisoner gave fnll and sub
stantial history of his doings since Christ
mas, and said that Detective Roher only
identified him as having been with Cum
ningham, after having had some witness
point him out. The only witnesses called
for the defense were Mary O'Brien and
Catherine White. 1t was expected that the
defense would produce strong evidence to
establish an alibi, and the failure to do so
caused general surprise.
