The Globe says of the testimony of
Jones that the most sensational de-
velopments are expected, eclipsing
those of the time of LeCaron.

man. 5 feet ) inches high, with a
brown beard and mustache rnd hair

shifty look. He was very nervous

Jones Identity.
New York. Nov. IL. 49, The news OF
the production of an informer in the
Ivory case in London treated quite a
sensation and was productive of con-
siderable comment in Irish circles in
this city. D~illigent inquiries among
prominent Irish N~ationalists by a rep
reSentatiye of the Associated Press
failed to establish the identity Of more
than l. man named Jones who ever
had any connection with Irish matters
in this city. This mans name Is
Thomas NJ. Jones. who was a member
of the Shamrock club and also m Of
the secretaries of the Amnesty aSsOcia-
ton.
Mclaughlin, secretary of the Irish
National alliance. sa!d: IL have known
Thomas Nj. Jones for about three
years. He was q member Of the al
lance and also Il of the secretaries
of the Amnesty association. | believe
that he was also n member OF the
Nally club. which also belongs to the
alliance. hut | think the c2bled reports
have ~confouuded the Iiish National al
lance with the United lrishmen. The
books of the alliance are open to the
public. and the English government
can send its representatives to eX-
anime them if it wishes to do so. The
platform and principles of the alliance,
which were adopted at the Chicago
convention last year, have been pub

ever in the organization. Whether
Jones is a friend of lyman or Kearney

IL he knows anything Of a so-called
dynamite plot. the whole thing must
