E. O'Meagher Condon (1835-1915), a Fenian with American citizenship, was tried with four others for the murder of a policeman in Manchester in 1867. All but Condon were executed. The U.S. government had interceded on Condon's behalf and his sentence was commuted to life in prison. In 1878, at the request of the American government, he was released on the condition that he not return to Great Britain for 20 years.
