HE TELLS HIS STORY.
O'Brien Was Willing to Come to
America When Arrested.
No Complaint TO Make Of His Treatment
While He Was In Confinement.

John l.. O'Brien, whose name has been
who was arrested In London, England,
as fugitive from justice, was prisoner
at the Central Station last night. lie was
accorded the consideration of being lock-
ed up in the women's department for
the night, and was taken to Newport to-
day by Deputy Sheriff Kaull to the 9:55
O'Clock train. To a representative of THE
NEWS this morning O'Brien said he did
not think much could be done to him,
and that everything said about him had
been greatly magnified and distorted.
He had plenty of friends at Newport who
would see that he had justice done him.
lie said that while in London he was
located on Bannister street, and was
aware OF the fact that he was wanted 10
days before he was arrested. The night
he was taken into custody he was will
ing to return TO America, but the officials
there would not allow him TO do SO up-
til he had been locked up eight weeks
and then he had to remain ID days after
tire requisition papers had been made out.
lie has had the best of care on the trip
over, having his freedom all the way with
the exception OF the last day in the har-
Dor of New York, when he was locked in
his stateroom, The trip was exceedingly
rough and he was very sick last Tuesday
and Wednesday. While in Jail at London
Mr.. Wilson, the man by whom O'Brien
was employed, offered TO go his bond for
e5000, or S25, 900, but the officials would
not listen to it.
O'Brien was clad in well worn En-
glish suit which was exchanged this
morning for Iran new blue suit, which
was furnished him by his brother Ed
ward, who is attending to his every want.
O'Brien wore a pair heavy white and blue
Irish stockings which had been presented
TO him by "kelly," the famous horse
healer of Belfast, ireland, who came TO
London occasionally. He will, IL his
where he has many friends and good
prospects.
lie has only words OF kindness for all
who have had charge of him since he wss
arrested, and only regrets that he could
not have come to America when be was
first arrested instead of having to be con-
fined in a dismal cell at London.
At a special session of the Supreme
Court at Newport at noon today O'Brien
was sentenced to eleven months imprls-
onment and TO pay the costs of arrest and
trial, which viii probably reach $1,000.
The charge against O'Brien was the lar
ceny of 5000 worth of rubber goods from
the Il. head Goodrich Manufacturing
Company in 1892. General Charles II.
Brayton, who represented O'Brten, asked
for leniercy from the court on the ground
that all who had suffered from o. Brien' q
wrong doings had been reimbursed and
that O'Brien had already paid sufficient
penalty III English jails. where he was in
carcerated pending extradition proceed
ings. General Brayton also stated that
O'Brien was simply tool of others, and
that he left the country by advise of le-
gal counsel. After hearing General Bray
TOMS argument sentence as previously
STATED was pronounced.
