DUBLIN, Oct. 10.-The case of the crown
against William O'Brien and John Dill
Ion, charged with conspiracy and melting
tenants not to pay rents, was again called
in the magistrates court at Tipperary this
morning. Messra O'Brieu and Dillon
have hitherto been present at
all hearings, but this morning when the
court opened they did not put in an ap-
pearance. Both defendants are members of
the committee appointed at a conference
OF the Irish nationalists held In Dublin last
Friday TO visit America for the purpose of
soliciting aid for the nationalist cause, and
the rumor is current that they had forfeited
their bail OF 81 900 each, in the conspiracy
case and that they sailed yesterday from
Queenstown for the United States.
THE RUMoR CONFIRMED.
Much excitement prevailed in Tipperary
when it became known that Messrs O'Brien
and Dillon had abandoned their defense and
left the place. Though there Is confirma-
tion Of the rumor that they had left the
country, there is no confirmation, however.
that they have sailed for America. In
formation thus far received shows that they
did not leave by the ordinary channels Of
passage. Their bail will be estreated and
will be paid by the national league.
All the other defendants who are iointl v
charged with conspiracy with Messrs.
Dillon and OBrien were present in court.
Mr.. Roman, prosecutor for the crown, an
nounced the absence of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien, aud asked the court to append to
their bail bonds, the usual certificate Of non
appearance.
CHANGES IN THE CHARGES.
Mr.. Healy of counsel for the defendants
submitted an argument that the suretes on
the bail bond had fulfilled their obligation
when Messra O'Brien and Dillon appeared
in court on the first trial. The crown, he
said, had subsequently amended the par.
ticulars of the charges and therefore the
bail given for defendants no longer held
good
After listening TO the argument on this
point the court announced that In its
opinion the charges against the defendants,
| although they had been amended by the
crown, were substantially the same. II
therefore granted Mr.. Romans request. and
the courts certificate of non appearance
was attached to the bail bonds of Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien.
Adjournment was then taken to enable
the crown to consider Whist steps should be
| taken. Warrants were issued for the arrest
Of Mcssrs. Dillon and OBrien.
WILL SAIL FROM HAvRE.
LONDON, Oct 10.-Mr. O'Connor's paper
the Star, says that Dillon and O'Brien went
to Waterford, and from there to Havre on
Wednesday, and they proceed from the
latter port to New York.
LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
LONDON, Oct. 10-The Post, in an edito-
rial on the fight of Messrs Dillon and
O'Brien, says: The battle had just been set
In array when the generals on the home
| rule side fed ignominiously from the field ~
| A dispatch to the NeUs from Tipperary
says: Though Swallowed as never shadowed
before, they joined liner by the aid Of a
| friendly craft and are now well on their way
to New York. 1t is impossible to convey
any idea of the frenzy OF. the detectives"
The Nel0s, in an editorial compares the
| escape of Dillon and O'Brien to the marvel
Gus escape Of Mezzini, and says they will
| be received in America as heroes. The
NeIcs adds: "The stage is now left to OBJ
scure performers, and Balfour may ring
| down the curtain
The Daily Telegraph says: "The English
public will regard the suspended trial with
the same Indifference with which it has re-
garded the other scenes Of state perform
ances.n
Mr.. Harrington, in an interview, declares
that the party had learned that warrants
for their arrests had been prepared on Sat
urday in the event of Dillon and O'Brien
attending Mondays conference in
Dublin instead of their trial. He adds:
This information and the dIllatory court
proceedings, palpably intended to frustr a to
their mission, decided them to defy Bal
four. But they have no intention Of shirk-
ing trial, and on their return will readily
submit themselves.
The Times and Standard accuse the fugi-
tives of cowardice and fear Of imprison-
ment.
DETECTIVES FAIL TO FIND THEM
LONDON, Oct. 10.-Detectives have
boarded all outgoing steamers and searched
in vain for Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien.
They are convinced that the two are already
on the way to America. 1t is possible, they
say. that Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien sailed
on yacht, and boarded a steamer outside
Of Queenstown harbor.
