KING OF DYNAMITERS.
Capt. Macliay Telia Why London
Bridge v/aa Not Blown to Atoms.
Paris TsCiter to New York Ilerahl.
“I planned and executed the London
bridge explosion," began Capt. Lomasney
Mackay this morning, addressing a reporter
in Paris who had called upon him at his
private apartment in the Ruo Cardinet.
“As you have already cabled, I was not
killed as was supposed, but as you see, { am
quite hearty and active.”
Then, affecting tho manner of JEneas, the
dynamite chief proceeded to relate his re
markable experiences.
Since his disappearance from the public
Capt. Mackay hasocen bolding himself aloof
from almost everybody, except a few tried
and trusty agents, who, ho says, act under
his instructions. He has held no correspond
ence whatsoever with people on the other
side of tho Atlantic, not even with his own
wife or reputed widow. Capt. Mackay re
fuses to explain his reasons for this appa
rently strange conduct. In the course of
the conversation had with him he said that
only two men would know when and where
a certain blow' should be struck and that
these two men should be the only men to
strike it.
HARD TO DRAW HIM OUT.
It was with difficulty that Capt. Mackay
was induced to throw off a little of the im
penetrable reserve that has characterized
his life and actions during the last two years
and a half. He had, he said, a very strong
objection, “as a conspirator," to give to re
porters any news whatever concerning the
conspiracy of which he was a member. He
believed in silence and secrecy, and had no
desire to beat a big drum either on the high
ways or in the byWays —uttering mighty
things against England and Englishmen.
He never pinned his faith to the efficacy or
utility of buncombe, and should not do so
now.
The room in which the daring dyna
miter sat was simply, but tastefully, fur
nished. On its walls were artistically exe
cuted portraits of Donton, Hoche, Carnot
and Robespierre, while the statue of the
Republic stood on tho mantelpiece, flanked
by various bric-a-brac ornaments of supe
rior workmanship. Various maps of Lon
don and a copy of the London Times, con
taining the last of tho series of articles on
“Pamellism and Crime,” were strewn on a
little mahogany table in the centre of tho
room.
mackay’s personal appearance.
Mackay looks like a man on the verge of
SO years of age. He is below the medium
height, being about 5 feet 5 inches tali, and
his build is proportionately slight. He has,
however, firmly set shoulders and the wir
iest of muscles, and his little frame seems to
possess an extraordinary amount of strength
and activity. His face is meagre and as
cetic—still, the samo beardless face of the
Mackay of old, although at certain times
and for certain purposes he wears an au
burn beard of the form and texture of that
on which James Stephens used to pride him
self in his palmy days of ’(54. His closely
shaven features give Mackay all
the air and appearance of a Roman
Catholic clergyman—particularly owing
to the broadcloth in which he is attired,
as well as the calm and dignified attitude he
assumes. His Planners are frank and unas
suming. Mackay, who was once a com
positor as well as a literary contributor to
several American newspapers, is a well edu
cated and extremely intelligent man. He is,
moreover, a splendid conversationalist,
while his charming bonhomie lias already
made him a great favorite in circles whore
his real name and career are far from being
suspected. Mackay personally gives the lie
direct to the usual morbid, hair-stand-on
its-end picture of tho dynamiter, who is in
variably represented as a low-browed,
moody, fierce eyed, murderous and ignorant
villain, whose hands are red with gore and
whose lips, like those of the mythical Satan,
eplt fire and sulphur on the darkness and ob
scurity all around him.
HIS CAREER.
Capt. Mackay was bom in Ireland, to
briefly summarize the early part of his story,
but he went at a very early age to Ameri
ca, where ho entered the Northern ranks as
a private and took his part in the Civil War,
during which he attained the rank of lieu
tenant. When the struggle was over Mac
kay, like so many other Irish sokhers,
turned his attention to his native languid
offered his services to the Irish h ulu
tionary Brotherhood. He was promotm to
the grade of captain by the council of the
latter organization, and in that capacity ar
rived in Ireland in the early part of 1867,
where he took up his post in Cork city as
the Fenian organizer of the district. There
he stopped for several weeks, preparing for
the insurrectionary movement which broke
out in various parts of Ireland during March
of that year.
On the eventful night of the rising Cork
city turned out no Jess than 10.000 men on
four points. Disaster, however, dogged the
footsteps of the insurgents from tne very
start. Mo arms could bo had, and they were
compelled to disperse. Mackay selected
from among them 200 of the bravest and
most experienced soldiers, whom he man
aged to provide with revolvers, pikes and
most iiiferior rifles. One hundred and
eighty of these men were sent to attack sev
eral police barracks in the district, while
Mackay, with a score of the more resolute,
took the field, and with that mere handful
threw the authorities in the South of Ire
land into a state of the utmost consterna
tion. On one occasion, with his twenty fol
lowers. lie succeeded in laying siege to a
barrack held by thirty to forty policemen.
A VICTIM OF HIS OWN KINDNESS.
Having called on the besieged to surrender,
and having been met with a blunt refusal,
Mackay at onoe sen tire to the building,
whereupon the constabulary forces cried out
for mercy. Hero Mnekay's chivalry, as he
claims, was exemplified” by the fact that
■while standing with his revolver at the door
he allowed the captives their liberty with
all the honors of war. One of the men
Khom he saved in this fashion was subse-
Ppiently one of the principal crown wit
nesses against him at his trial in Cork. After
this event Mackay attacked and took pos
session of a Martello tower, and during tho
succeeding few months prior to his arrest he
luade five raids for arms in the open day in
the streets of Cork, stupefying the local au
thorities by his imperturbable dash and
daring.
After the Clerkenwell explosion Mackay
arrived in London, whore ho met his old
companion-in arms, Capt. James Murphy,
the reputed author of that “attempt on life
and property; - ’ Michael Barrett, who after
ward paid tile penalty of his participation
in that, business, and others who were
alleged also to have been “in the swim."
He offered three of the latter suspects a
home in Cork, guaranteeing them perfect
immunity from clanger. But his offer was
declined, as the parties In question had been
previously afforded facilities for escape to
France, which they took advantage of suc
cessfully shortly afterward.
mackay’s arhebt.
Capt. Mackay returned immediately to
Cork, where, he says, he intended organ
izing a second insurrection. Owing to the
treason of a false friend he w as one day sur
prised in the Corn Market of Cork, being
ot upon by half a dozen of the constabu
lary. Mackay, wh'> had determined not to
he caught, alive, had a fierce hand-to-hand
tussle with his would-be captors, in the
course of wltirh he drew his revolver and
shot one of them dead—Acting Constable
Casey -anil seriously wounded another. He
was, however, overpowered by the force of
numbers, and was conveyed at once to the
local Bridewell. Two months subsequently,
in the year IH6H, he wnn t ried at the assizes
on the charge of willful murder. Mackay
in the dock denied the murder, but acknowl
edged himself a rebel to the British crown.
The jury brought in a verdict of simple
manslaughter, and the prisoner was ac
cordingly sentenced to twelve years’ penal
servitude, which was commuted afterward
on the occasion of the Fenian amnesty to
exile from the British Isles.
HIB LATTER-DAY HISTORY.
The Captain returned in 1871 to America,
where lie settled dowu as a bookseller, iead
ing a verv quiet and unassuming life and
keeping almost entirely aloof from politics.
M'lr.-ay, however, stiff remained a Fenian
at heart and in sympathy. At the ineep
t.on or tho dynamite movemeut he ex
-1 resse l himself opposed to it on the ground
that another attempt should be made to
-e tie the Anglo-Irish problem on the ’67
ii ", l ,urp ly revolutionary or open
tight methods. It was only when he found
out, the impossibility of Ireland’s ever
P*' 1 "£ b ! r , t " , rO!X ' with England on the
battle field so long as England was not em
broiled in a foreign war that Capt. Mackay
abandoned his former position and entered
the ranks of the dynamiters. His past
record, his high powers of intelligence and
nis immense daring soon raised him to an
influential post in the organization, and it
may be said with the utmost truth that he
was for one year and a half tho guiding
spirit and inspirer of one of the active,
irreconeileable wings that created at one
time such intense alarm and consternation
in London.
mackay reads his obituary.
“Well, Capt. Mackay,” I observed, “you
have seen your obituary notice in the Lon
don TimesT'
“Yes, and I am not the first man who has
seen his there. The story of my death grew
m fact out of my silence. (Since the London
bridge business I have, for reasons of my
own, suspended all communication, direct
or indirect, with my friends across the
water. There are only three Irish revolu
tionists in Europe who know I’m alive, and
they have kept my secret.”
“Why did you pursue this peculiar line of
conduct*’
“As I told you, for reasons of my own—
one or two of which, however, I have no
objection to explain to you. In the first
P'are, I thought it bast to suspend active
operations lor a time in order to give th%
British calm opportunity of feolinfP
that we Irishmen were, after all, in down
right earnest in struggling for our country’s
indeiiendence. I considered my role com
pleted for the moment, and retired alto
gether from the arena. After the lapse of
a few months Mr. Gladstone commenced to
plan his federal or homo rule scheme, which
l am sure he never would have contemplated
or sought to carry out only for our
practical work in London. The fact is that
Mr. Gladstone had always to be egged
on by explosions before he paid any serious
attention to the wrongs of Ireland. Once
the ex-Premier was out in the field with his
pet project and Mr. Pa-nell and his fol
lowers accepted that project. I judged it
not only inopportune but unpatriotic to
resume the dynamite campaign. Such is
the second reason that prompted me to keep
altogether to myself. 1 wanted to give Mr.
Parnell no reason for failure, if he did fail,
in this supreme effort, for Irish legislative
independence, although I knew that even
with Gladstone at his back he'd never secure
it.”
THE LONDON BRIDGE EXPLOSION.
“And now, Capt. Mackay, I am re
quested to ask you for a detailed report of
the prominent part you are supposed to
have taken in the London bridge explosion.”
“I thought dead men told no tales,” re
plied the Captain, with a smile. “There
are, however, I fancy, exceptions to every
rule. Well, before I answer your question
you might as well tell the London Times
and all others whom it may concern that
Capt. Mackay is not only alive, but you
may assure them that he was never in better
health and spirits.
“It is quite true,” continued the Captain,
“that it was I who planned and executed
the London bridge explosion. On the night
in question four comrades and myself
stepped into a foureiared boat belonging to
a Iriend of ours at a cqptain point 200 or
300 yards above Westminster bridge. Ar
riving within a short distance of our desti
nation we touched at one of the embank
ment stairs, where three of my companions
got out, one crossing Lonuon bridge m order
to watch tho movements of stray policemen
while the other two remained bn the other
side with the same object in view. Shortly
afterward my remaining comrade and my
self rowed out in the direction of the
bridge, but we had to back oars several
times to allow boats and barges to pass. At
last, when we found that ours was the only
craft on the river for hundreds of yards up
and down, we moved cautiously under one
of the arches. I held the oars and kept the
boat all right, while my companion was in
serting a hook in the waff to which to fasten
the boat tigntly by means of a rope. My
friend subsequently, owing to an awkward
stroke of the hammer, maimed the fingers
of his left hand so severely that he was quite
useless to me. and I had to do the rest of the
business mvself. lat once set to work and
dug a hole in the masonry with a chisel and
mallet, hut finding that I had fallen on a
rather hard substance, I lost much time in
making a proper hollow, in which I de
posited the explosive material.
NOT ENOUGH DYNAMITE.
“The excavated space was, moreover, so
small that I ciuld only use one-third of the
dynamite I had brought with me. If I had
ben able to utilize all I had there would not
hire been one stone left on another in the
archway. 1 immediately lit a fuse, which I
attached to a corner of the whole, but the
strong draught of air rushing under the
arch was consuming it so quickly that we
considered that we would not have time
enough to unmoor the brat, in which, by the
way, we left the remainder of tho dyua
mite. We consequently plunged right out
into the river, and as both of us
wore active swimmer. —although mv friend,
owing to his accident, was not so active as
he otherwise would have been —we soon
gained the left bank, and were scarcely
well landed a hundred yards or so down
the Thames when tlia concussion of the ter
rific explosion knocked us down.
There was no time to be lost.
We were on our feet again in a sec
ond, and having changed our dripping
clothing at a friend’s house in the neighbor
hood, and assumed various disguises we
went to Bermondsey, where, as had been
Ereviously arranged, we were well and
ospitably received by a poor and humble
worker in the cause, who would not betray
us for all the mint in England, and whose
little two-storied cottage was completely at
our disposal for the succeeding fortnight.”
“What do you think happened to the
boat?” '
“Blown up, of course, into a thousand
tiny bits.”
“And your co-worker and comrade?”
“The poor fellow died of consumption in
a London hospital several months ago. On
the night in question he caught a severe
cold, which clung to him and eventually
brought him to his grave.
MACKAYB ESCAPE.
“We remained at Bermondsey for several
days, on the morning of the second •*' which
I was roused from my slumber by a loud
knocking at tho hall door down stairs.
Springing immediately out of my bed and
grasping my revolver, I rushed to the win
dow-, and. looking into the street, perceived
lour or five policemen before the house. My
comrade and I took counsel for a moment or
so and determined to sell our lives dearly in
cuso any attempt was made to arrest us
The treachery of the host, having flashed
across our mimls ns a possibility —Cod for
give us for having done the poor fellow such
h wrong!—we stole to his room, where we
found mm in a profound sleep. My comrade
wanted, right or wrong, to shoot the man
t here and then,but Ibo strongly objected that
he had todosist. The man awoke as the knock
ing at the door continued more furiously
than ever. ‘What does Ibis mean)' I cried,
‘there are policemen at the door.’ ‘l'll ex
plain all to you in a minute, Captain,’ he
replied: ‘trust me and never fear. He
rushed dowu tho staircase, and, having
shouted‘All right!’ returned at once and
told us that the policemen had gone. ‘I for
got to tell you yesterday,’ he continued,
•that if 1 have to get up to my work very
early tho policeman on the boat kiudly
wakes me up In tho fashion you have aeon.
Several mornings, off and on, ho is accom
panied by three or four of his brother con
stables.’ As the explanation was, of course,
the correct one, we were thoroughly satis
fied with it. We left Bermondsey for*Ha
irow, where my comrade and 1 parted, he
remaining in that city, while I proceed*,
bore to fails by certain circuitous route,"
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1887.
“What are you doing here in Paris just
KW|"
“I am simply consulting with friends on
matters affecting the movement in which I
am interested.”
“Is the Supreme Council of the Irish Rev
olutionists in Paris:”
“Certainly not, but there is here, and
there has been here for several years, an
executive committee, the members of which,
however, are comparatively independent in
their collective actions, although in matters
of very grave importance they are compell
ed to consult with a supreme council before
doing anything.”
CONDITION OF THE ORGANIZATION.
“What is the present condition of the
organization?”
“So far as the Old World is concerned, it
is satisfactory enough. We have acted hero
on tho principal or quality rather than
quantity. W e havo plucked out the weeds
and tares, and have none at present but
picked men. No such diabolical wretches as
Rod Jim McDermott and Capt. Stuart
Stephens will ever again find a footing in
our body. Farneffism, I must tel) you,
played an unlucky game with our men in
the West of Ireland, breaking up circle
after circle and emasculating the bona and
sinew of the country. So long as Parnell
ism was fashionable our organization had to
suffer; but Pamellism being no longer ala
mode, and Parnell’s strategy having com
pletely t ailed, the old revolutionary spirit is
coming back.”
“You believe, then, there is a turn in the
tide?" *-
“I not only believe it, but I’m sure of it.
The body popularly known as the ‘I. R. B.’
is like the Phoenix, springing into new life
from its ashes."
“How about the contending wings of the
Irish revolutionary body in New York?”
NEW YORK FENIANS.
“I know nothing positively about the
?uarrels of my friends in New York, nor do
care for the moment to interfere in the dis
cussion concerning O’Donovan Rossa. I
have an equally kind and sympathetic re
fard for the two conflicting sections of the
'. 8., although Ido not belong to that body,
being, or rather having been, a member of
another secret revolutionary association,
the name of which I am not at liberty to
mention. Capt. James Murphy, who is, I
believe, an O’Donovan Rossaite,' is a gallant
soldier, and the best nud truest friend; while
in the council camp of tho F. B. there are
gentlemen whose earnest and self-sacrificing
patriotism can never be brought into ques
tion. It is my opinion that the F. B. men
should settle their differences and turn their
attention at once to the renewal of active
hostilities against England. ”
THE QUEEN’S BILEE.
“How is the Queen’s jubilee to be cele
brated in London, Dublin and Paris by the
Irish revolutionists?”
“Dublin will not do anything just now in
the radical sense of the word. What Lon
don will do remains to be seen. In Paris a
black banquet is to be held, at which Vrtaok
banners and such other dismal insignia are
to be displayed.”
“Have you seen the alleged Parnell letter
in the London Times?"
“Certainly; and I must say that if Par
nell bad written that letter I should have a
higher opinion of him than I ever had for it
pays an indirect tribute of irespect to the
noble and fearless Joe Brady, one of the
best and bravest of modern Irish revolu
tionists. Unfortunately, however, Mr Par
nell is not the author of that epistle. I
think I can see the fine old Roman hand of
Mr. Dick Pigott in the concoction. Pigott
wrote the Parnell letter to the Times. Of
that fact there cannot be the least possible
doubt.
“And now,” continued Capt. Mackay after
a pause, “tell my many friends in the States
that I shall be among them, or rather I
hope to lie among them, at no very distant
dute, but not before the dearest dreams of
my life, as an Irish revolutionist, will have
been realized.”
