custom house officers at Las Palomas,
give particulars of a raid upon the GUS

GOT OFF EASY.
A Sharp Attorney Plays It On a Care
less Judge.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. l5.-Ben F.
Naphtaly. police court practitioner.
was today acquitted on the charge of
perjury on curious technicality. Naph-
tally had signed bond for man who
was arrested for grand larceny. and it
is alleged swore falsely as to the amount
of property he owned. The man released
on bonds skipped out, and as the police
could not collect the amount of the bond
from Naphtaly he was arrested for per-
jury. Today his attorney pointed out
the fact that the bond was worded as
customary with the exception that the
word mot" had been inserted, making
it read I'VE will not pay to the people
Of the state of California" etc. Judge
Trout ordered the sharp attorney to be
discharged, as under thte terms of the
bond signed by him, he could only be
prosecuted for perjury if he paid the
amount of the bond.

in connection with the arrests Is consid-
cred unfavorable to the success of this
plan.
In an interview the president Of the
amnesty association said:
'The arrests are matter Of indiffer-
ence to us except for the public effect
on the Irish movement. The followers
of lyman are the enemies Of Ireland and
this association will not raise a penny
for their defense. 1t cannot compromise
itself by any connection with them"
The Dublin Independent this morning
says:
1.-THE so-called plot is more like plot
against Ireland. The release of some Of
the Irish political prisoners accused of
dynamite offenses had no sooner called
forth some protests in England than
those sensational arrests in connection
with a new plot are announced. We
emphatically protest against the delib-
crate effort being made to turn this plot
against ireland and the unfortunates
now In prison."
The Associated Press has dispatch
from Boulogne-Sur-Mer. which says
lyman was taken before the public pros
ecutor this afternoon and was inter-
Togated as to his antecedents and as to
the murder of Thomas Henry Burke
and Lord Frederick Cavendishw in Phoe-
nix park Dublin. in 1882. lyman, in re-
ply, denied that he took any actual part
in the murders.
Subsequent to the examination sever
al Scotland Yard men had an interview
with the public prosecutor, who signi-
fled to them his approval of the active
measures taken by the English police
to secure lyman and his associates. He
also assured them that the French au-
thorities would render them every assist
ance to bring the culprits to Justice Ty-
nan has been allowed to see no one, nor
was he allowed to consult or employ
counsel to appear at his examina ton.

court today, which eliminated in fight.
Langhorne slapped Hart's face and the
angry lawyers were separated before
any more damage was done. Langhorne
will have to answer to Judge Coffey for
contempt of court. The row grew out
of an argument in the Hendy will case.
Langhorne asked leave to file copy of

said was missing. Hart objected and

Langhorne had made mis-statement.
