LONDON, Dec. 31.-Edward T. My
Illus, who was arrested Monday at
Sheppards Bush on chage Of being
concerned in the publication of a pa
per called "The Liberator," was ar
raigned before Sir Samuel Evans, sit
ting as vacation judge, today, charg-
ed with sedition.
Prior to the arrest Of Mylius the po-
lice raided his lodgings in Courtnell
street, where he has lived for two
years, and took away a number of cop
les Of the paper. They also confiscat-
ed about three hundred more, which
were found locked in one of the Row.
ton houses.
The Liberator Is published in Par
Is by the Ponroy Company, and it's
publisher is Edward Holton James,
said to be wealthy American lawyer
now travelling in Portugal. It is de-
scribed as an international journal,
devoted to the extension of Republi-
can principles, and its contents are
mainly virulent abuse of England, it's
government, its ruler and the royal
family. The police have been watch
ing 1t for some time, but no action
was taken until the November issue
appeared
This passed all bounds of decency
and liberation. It started with an ex-
cerpt from leaflet- by Guy A. Aldred,
its London correspondent, which re-
hashed the execution of the Denshawi
murderers, but construed it to make
1T appear as new instance Of Eng
lands methods in Egypt. Then it pro.
ceeded to violent attack upon the
memory Of the Prince Consort, hus-
band Of Queen Victoria, and then to
an equally venomous one on King
George with reference to his report
ed morganatic marriage in Malta in
1900.
An Endorsement of this attack, writ
ten by Myths, appears, and he sug-
gests that the only way that the King
can be dealt with in England is by a
revolution.
A colored leaflet was isssed with
the June number, setting forth in large
type:
France and America salute thee,
England live Kier Hardie-
Hail to the Revolution-Down with
the classes-Up with the poletariat4
Long live Egypt, India and Ireland
Hail to the people and long may they
reign"
The Liberator was sold regularly
1t certain news stands around Soho
md other quarters inhabited by rev.
dictionaries.
Mylius' landlady described him as
4 man of quiet habits who spent his
Sundays reading, one of his favorite
works being Walt Whitmans Leaves
of Grass" One of his friends, a Mr..
Williams, said:
Il have known Myths about two
years. / never knew Of his speaking
in the park. He knew French imper-
fectly and no German. believe he
was hard up and got into bad hands.
Sometimes l have tried to persuade
him to have nothing to do with the
Liberator, and can't understand why
he kept ON with It.
HE earned q little as turf COM |
mission agent. Mr.. James IL the one
to blame. He stays in France and is
I mystery.
Myths has rich uncle somewhere
and has lost lot of his own money |
on the Stock Exchange. We were
10th fond Of reading and I used to |
talk with him at his lodgings"
Superintendent Quinn, Of the spec-
ial service department Of Scotland
Yard, declined to explain the reason /
for the secrecy adopted. and confined
himself to confirming the report OF
the arrest and the hearing before Sir
Samuel Evans. This is proof Of the
great Importance attached TO the ar.
rest, as Sir Samuel Evans IL presi-
dent of the Probate. Divorce and Ad-
mirality courts, and It IL very rare
that a Judge the high court acts as
magistrate of court of first instance. |
