lyman FEARS EXTRADlTION
And Strongly Pleads His American
Citizenship
The United States Minister Asked to
Intervene and Save the Alleged Dy-
namiter From Certain Death

PARIS, Sept. 21.-The United States
ambassador to France, Mr.. James b.
Eustis, has received a letter from p. j.
P. lyman, the alleged dynamite constr
ator now in custody at Boulogne, dated
Tuesday, September 18th. lyman wrote
that he arrived in the United States in
March, 1888; that shortly after England
demanded his extradition, and that the
United States refused it on the ground
that the offense alleged was purely po-
litical. In April, 1888, lyman continued,
he was naturalized by Judge DAILY He
now resides. he wrote with his wife,
children and two servants in a villa on
the Hudson, and he referred to Judge
Fitzgerald and Judge Roger A. Pryor as
his friends. Referring to his presence in
France at this time, lyman says that he
left New York on an European tour,
and that upon being informed that he
was shadowed by Scotland Yard detect
ives he Travelled under an assumed name
and went to Italy, Belgium and France,
and was booked to return to New~Y ork
on September 30th. Further, lyman
pledged his honor that he did not take
part in any affairs of a political nature
while in France, and that he had not
done anything beyond the ordinary
sightseeing and observation of the COM
mon American tourist. He appealed to
Mr.. Eustis to intercede with the French
government not to surrender him to
England. as such surrender would mean
certain death to him.
In conclusion lyman wrote: 1T am
sure that the gallant nation that Irish
men gave Fontenoy to blazon on their
banners will not help England by my
surrender.
IF you will graciously urge my re-
quest, your excellency, upon the French
government, you will not only receive
my thanks but that of millions of Irish
all over the globe"
Mr. Eustis Immediately notified the
French government of the receipt of the
letter and the fact that lyman was an
American citizen.
The British embassy here has not yet
received from London the formal de-
mand for Tynan's extradition, and the
French foreign office refused all infor-
nation.

Of Sleep and Great Anxiety.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-Matron
Gilmour of the city prison was the first

the trial of Miss Emma Ashley for talk
ing shot at e. ]. Baldwin, the alleged
betrayer of her sister. The defendant
claims that be was temporarily insane

renee. Her mind was blank and she
stared vacantly into space.
Mrs. Gilmour. on being questioned by
asked for her Bible on entering the
prison, and then sang, Nearer, My God,
to Thee" with great feeling.
Then Lillian Ashley took the stand in
her sisters behalf. She said Emma was
% years old and had lived almost all her
life upon the farm in Vermont. In 1890
their mothre diol and the girls were
thrown upon the world. Coming down
to the shooting and the events preced-
ing that unfortunate occurrence" as
the witness alluded to it, Lillian said

dition from loss of sleep and lack OF
proper nourishment.

The Bravery Of Engineer Martin and His

The Bravery Of Engineer Martin and His
Fireman Practically Rewarded
Edward o. Parker, a well-known Wall
street man who is at the Hollenbeck, was a
passenger on the Sunset limited which
was wrecked near Puente on Saturday
evening. The train consisted of five we'll
filled Pullman cars. and when on the
heavy down grade and running at nearly
fifty miles an hour, struck horse about
200 feet west of the switch.
Martin. the engineer, had his hand, as is
his habit, on the air brake valve, but did
not realize that his train had collided with
anything until he saw the sparks flying
from the front of his pilot. Instantly he
put on the brakes and the train was
brought to standstill in less than two
lengths of the train where the engine had
struck the horse
After leaving the track the'cars ploughed
against the high embankment at an angle
of forty degrees. While waiting for help,
the engineer and his fireman we're heartily
thanked by the passengers, and Mr.
Parker, hat in hand, went through the
train and succeeded in making a very
handsome collection, to be equally divided
between both men. Martin is suffering
from the cut in his hip and the effects of
the shock, but will take out his traia in a
few days.

SAVED FROM A HOLOCAUST
Narrow Escape Of $50 Passengers on
the Santa Fe
A Loosened Fish Plate Near the Bridge at
Del Mar DeraiIs the Train, Which
Is Burnt

The regular 80 p. m. train on the
Santa re for San Diego left Los Angeles
on time Saturday and all went we'll until
the engine struck loosened fish-plate,
near the high trestle, about 100 yards
from Del Mar station. This trestle spans
a creek at an elevation of close upon sew
enty-tive feet, and had not the train been
promptly brought to stop, a repetition
of the .Ashtabula disaster would have oc-
Cured. AS it is Conductor Kinney, the
baggagemaster, the mail clerk and engn-
Ger are the only ones who suffered very
much, with the exception of John +. Har-
ley, advance agent of the Sinbad company.
The accident happened at 9:l s p. nj. and
when the baggage car was derailed, there
were in it all of those injured eX-
cept the engineer and fireman. The
smoker went off at right angles
to the track, and baggage car.
The day coach which was next to it,
tumbled in an opposite direction to the
steep ACTIVITY on the right, and was only
held from falling into the abyss by the
heavy parlor car, whose couplings did not
give way. The passengers in this coach
were released from their perilous position
by cutting out with axes the sides. The
chair car and the Pullman, though de-
rallied. renamed on the track.
A few minutes after the accident the
baggage car was ablaze from the over
turned stove, and in brief space of time
the entire train was burning intensely.
The scene was remarkable one. On one
side of the track the lofty cutting was
illuminated by the brilliant flames from
the burning train, on the other heavy,
white-crested breakers were laundering on
the sandy beach, while the passengers
kept themselves warm by wearing bril-
liant-hued blankets from the sleeping car.
There were about $50 people on the
train, among the number being Hon. John
G. Fisher, collector of the port of San
Diego, who. with Jesse Grant and M. NJ.
Christian, a member of the San Diego city
council, were in the chair-car smoker. A
large number of the passengers were tour
lists bound for Coronado, whose dentists
will he busy for some days repairing dam
ages to incisors and molars. The baggage
car contained about forty-five pieces,
which together with the mail was burnt up.
The wrecking train got to the spot at 4 :l5
am, and the passengers, tired out and
very sore, went to bed at San Diego at
little after . am. A late report says that
the accident arose from a broken tlange on
the tender.

POLICE COURT PRACTICE
Another Scheme By Which Attorneys Pick
Up Few Dollars

Another Scheme By Which Attorneys Pick
Up Few Dollars
There are very likely to be some more
developments in regard to abuses in police
court practice during the coming week.
The grand jury will probably conclude it's
labors and turn in it's final report early
this week, and if some of the more flagrant
cases that have been brought to their at
tention ale touched upon, it will make in
teresting reading. Recorder Rossiter of
Pasadena, who has been sitting for Judge
Morrison, has taken the initiative, and il
the lead set by him is followed out, a good
start will have been made toward purify
ing the methods that have SO long been in
vogue. Recorder Rossiter has peremptor-
lily "sat upon several attorneys
of the volunteer variety, and re-
fused to recognize them until he had ascer-
tanned whether or nor they had been regu-
larly employed.
Another little scheme which has been
quite successfully worked in the past has
been nipped. Heretofore, when some man
had the appearance of being able to 'dig
up'' has been arrested on charge OF
drunk or some similar charge. it has been
the custom of the volunteer attorney to
rush to the front, waive the reading OF the
complaint, plead not guilty and ask for
time to prepare for trial. This is of course
granted as the prisoner very rarely enters
any objection, as half the time he does not
know what the charge against him is, and
he is rustled downstairs with the Otbe :
prisoners. The attorney then has an in
terview with him and tells him that he can
get him out of his tronble for say $40 or
SIS. AS the prisoner has not heard the
complaint read he is ignorant of The
charge against him, and generally falls
into the trap. When the case
comes up,. the attorney slyly tells
him that he can have the charge
modified. and in that case ad-
vises him to plead guilty. The attorney
then steps up to the Judge, speaks to him
moment on some little matter and then
going back to his client tells him it is all
right, that the judge will accept plea of
guilty to drunk, that it is "all fixed" of
course when the complaint is read it is
drunk. The officer testfies that it was
just an ordinary case, the judge imposes
the usual fine of perhaps $3, and the at
torney gets the 81 for his services in bring
ing about the result. OF course, the at
torney had nothing to do with it. but the
prisoner does not know this. and leaves
the court room highly pleased to get off so
light, and with an exalted opinion of the
attorneys ''push."
There are tricks in all trades and this is
only one by which the willy police practi-
toner gathers in the shekes
