London, Sept 24-Edward J. Ivory,
| alias Edward Bell, the New York saloon
keeper who was recently arrested at
Glasgow, charged with being connected
with the alleged dynamite conspiracy
Of which P. j. P. lyman is said TO be
the moving spirit, was arraigned at Bow
street police court today. G. F. Gill,
who appeared for the treasury depart
ment, said that the prisoners real name
was Ivory, and charged him with con-
spring with lyman, Kearney and
Haines to cause dynamite explosions
in the United Kingdom, and also with
aiding and abetting dynamite offenseS.
Mr. Gill claimed that the four men
mentioned left New York in August and
said that it was quite clear that they
were supplied with money sent to this
country by a Fenian organization in
New York for the purpose of going to
Antwerp, preparing bombs and dyna-
mite, and then securing men in London
or Glasgow to explode them.
Continuing, Mr. Gill said that the date
Of September Is had been fixed upon as
the time when they contemplated that
the last step of the conspiracy should
be contaminated. Ivory, Mr.. GIN add
ed, left New York on Aug. 19, reach
ed Southampton on August %, and PRO-
ceeded to London, his special duty be-
ing to interview persons considered like
ly to be willing to engage in the crimes
proposed. The prosecutor gave the dates
of the different movements of the men in
Great Britain and on the continent, say
ing that they employed a cipher code in
communicating with each other. Later
Mr.. Gill read the letters sent by lyman
to Ivory and those sent by Ivory to
lyman.
Mr. Gill further said that on Sept. II
Kearney and Hafnes, who were at Amt
werp, concluded they We're being shod-
owed and telegra phed Ivory to come
right away as the business was inn
portant. Ivory objected and pointed
out now he would disappoint his friends
if he returned to America without con-
Guiding the business.
A long letter to lyman was also read,
in Which Ivory charged lyman with hug
ging tine shores of France too much and
not forwarding the cause enough. The
prosecution then gave the details of the
arrest of Ivory, who, he added, claimed
he was an American journalist.
Mr.. Gill stated that a new pattern
was found in the possession of Kearney
and Haines when they were arrested.
The formal evidence of the arrest of
Ivory was then presented. After evil
dence had been furnished of meetings
between Ivory and his alleged fellow
conspirators at Antwerp, the case was
adjourned until tomorrow.
