THE REVOLUTION IN SWITZERLAND. -  At the Bow-street Police-court, Angelo Csationi, aged 56, of Upper Cheyne-row, Chelsea, has been charged on an extradition warrant, granted by Mr. Vaughan, with the commission of the crime of murder within the jurisdictirn of the Swiss Republic. Mr. J. P. Grain appeared for the accused. 'The prisoner is a powerfully built man, standing six feet in height. Fle has a dark complexion with • long pointed iron grey beard, and large black piercing eyes. He was dressed ma long dark overcoat and dark tweed suit. The warrant was issued a fortnight ago, and the greatest reticence was observed by the authorities at Scotland-yard with reference to the matter. Mr. Grain said that he had had • consultation with the Swiss Consul, who had instructed his solicitors. He (Mr. Grain) would have to ask for a remand, &Ed suggested that it could be granted for the conveni. ence of both sides, on the formal evidence of arrest. Mr. Lushington Then we will have formal evidence of arrest. Inspector Freest said: Last night, at about 5.15, I went to Upper Cheyne-row, Chenen I saw the prisoner's daughter, and askedber if her father warm. lthenwrnt to a shed adjoining the house, and saw the prisoner with a number of other foreigners. I was accompanied by Sergeant Lowe and Constables Eleriot and lox, tasked the prisoner if homes Angelo Castioni. tie replied in English, "Yes." I said " I haves warrant for your arrest for murder committed within the jurisdiction of the Swiss Government." He said "Bead it," and I read it to him. He said "Let me see it." I handed it to him, and he read it. He said" Very well, I will go with yen. Will you allow me to put on some clothes? We went with him to • room he called his bedroom, and on a shelf I found a cartridge-pouch containing 140 Annie' ball cartridges and 40 revolver cartridges, and a bottle containing about half a pint of gunpowder, also a can containing needles, which, I believe, are used in the Minie Ile was brought to Bow.street, and the charge was read ever to him again, and he made no reply. Mr. Grain Do you know whether he wrote to the swiss authorities I—Witness 'No. Do you know that he lives in his own house, and has lived in England for 17 years ?—I do not know that. I know that he has lived there for some years. And you had no difficulty in arresting him P—No, he came quietly. Mr. Freshfield, on behalf of the Swiss Consul, asked for a remand. Mr. Grain .aid he should like a remand on this evidence, as,with reference to what was called a revolution in Switzerland, he should like to look into certain Acts of Parliament. As far as he could see at present, a serious question might be raised with reference to political matters. It was &peculiar and a very serious case, and he would suggest that a remand should be taken for a week, as there were different payers he was desirious of obtaining from Switzerland. In this he (Mr. Grain) was sure he would be aasiated by the Swiss authorities. Mr. Freshfield said that in a week they would be in a position to proceed with the case. Mr. Grain then said he must make an application of a very unusual character, and that was for bail. He would be able to satisfy the magistrate, and also the Swiss authorities, for any amount. The prisoner had been resident in England for 17 years, and was a well-known sculptor. Mr. Lushington said he could not grant bail, and the prisoner was removed in custody.
