on April 10, the day that Nolin re-

Dillon started for Buffalo registered as
/ DaIlman at the Stafford house. and on
April u went to Canada in the vicinity
of Thcrold, and was registered at the
RosH house on the Canadian side, where
later he stopped while Nolin and Walsh

tered court and the three prisoners
were declared guilty. The dynamiters
were sentenced to Imprisonment for life
and taken to Kingston penitentiary.
/ For two years after the trio entered
upon their prison life the general public
knew nothing Of the identity Of Karl
Daliman. Then a Buffalo paper made

{ ton with the CrOnin affair. The story
I was denied by some of DillOn's friends.
who asserted that he had been killed
during the South African war while
fighting with the BOeT army against the
British. But the real. grim truth is
that the once famous leader Of the Clan
na-Gael is buried alive within the walls
of Kingston penitentiary- He is no
! longer either Karl Daliman or Luke
! Dillon for the inmates Of that gloomy
| edifice are known by numbers. not
names. Kings may die and empires
pass away, but naught Of the stir and
hustle Of the outside world enters into
the cOloTiess silent existence of the men
who made up the dynamite trio. For
them all the plots and passions of rest
less humanity have ceased TO be-are
merged into the gray horror of d living
death.
