LONDON, Sept 13.-P. j. lyman, the
notorious mo. l. of the Irish Invinci-
bles, who was so frequently mentioned
during the trial of persons charged with
the murder Of Lord Cavendish, Chisf
Secretary for Ireland, and p. III. Burke.
Irish Under Secretary, in Phoenix Park
In May, 1882, was arrested at Boulogne,
France, at O'Clock this morning on
warrant issued in 1882. lyman is also
charged with being concerned in the
manufacture of dynamite bombs for use
In England.
1t has been learned that he arrived in
Europe in August, when he debarked at
Genoa. He proceeded thence to Paris,
where, it is alleged, he consorted with
the Irish dynamite faction. On Friday
he arrived at Boulogne and eXpounded
Fenian policies at the bar. He here met
an English detective, who Immediately
placed him under arrest. The officer
drew a pistol at his head and threatened
to shoot him if he made the slightest re-
siStance. lyman was speedily secured.
He subsequently admitted his identity.
In his possession We're found a conSid-
erable sum of money and number of
discriminating papers. He will be ar
raigned before a Judge in Boulogne to-
morrow with view to securing his ex-
tradition. 1t is stated that his arrest
is connected with the arrests of Bell and
Wallace, the former having been cap
tured in Glasgow and the latter in Rot
terdam.
Lord Frederick Cavendish arrived in
Dublin on May 8, 1882, to be present at
the formal entry of the new Viceroy of
Ireland, Lord Spence. During the day
he was engaged in official business at
the castle. Later he left the castle on
foot to walk in Phoenix Park, where
he met Mr.. Burke. 1t was bright sum-
mer evening between Z and o'clock,
scarcely less light than at monday,
and there were many people in the park.
The two men walked along the principal
road until they were within few yards
of the Phoenix monument Some boys
passed them and went around the mon
ument, and when they returned found
the Chief Secretary and Mr.. Burke ly-
ing on the ground dead and covered
with wounds.
On examination it was found that
Mr.. Burke had received several stabs
near the region of the heart, and that
his throat had been cut. His clothing
was much torn, and his hands bore
marks of a fierce and protracted en-
counter. Lord Frederick Cavendish had
been stabbed in several places about the
chest. The crime was witnessed by sew
eral persons, who thought the partici-
pants were roughS wrestling. Four men
who were seen driving in a car towards
the monument were known to be the
murderers, but for some time their
identity could not be established.
The news of the assassination caused
intense indignation and sorrow. A re-
ward of $50, 900 was offered to any one
who should give information that would
lead to the conviction of the murderers,
and further sum of $4,000 for such
private information as should lead to
the same results, with free pardon to
any person not the actual perpretrator.
Many arrests were made, but the brief
est examination convinced the author
tiles that the police were not even on
the track of the murderers.
At last clews were obtained and close
ly followed, and large number of fur
ther arrests made. Among the pris-
onerS was James Carey, a town coun-
cilor who later turned infOrmer. He
had lured other men to join the 1nvinci-
bles, which was an inner circle of the
Fenian organization, and the object of
which TO murder government OFFICIALS
Carey had arranged the Phoenix Park
assassinations and had given the signal
when the deed was to be done. lyman,
the man arrested to-day, was one of
thos appointed to organize society in
Dublin The trial of the accused men
resulted in conviction of Joseph
Brady, Daniel Curley, Michael Pagan,
Thomas Caffrey and Timothy Kelly, all
of whom were executed. Carey was re-
leased and started on voyage under
an assumed name for South Africa on
the steamship Melrose Castle. He was
followed by an Irish avenger, who shot
him at Port Elizabeth.
