81 will say that 1 visited Gibraltar and
possibly other places where. If the Brit
ish government knew. anything OF my
movements / should not be at liberty
now. That shows how absurd the state
ment is that I was shadowed by British
detectives ever since 1 left New York.
The night before my arrest l saw that
my valise had been tampered with. l
think one of the most important matters
for the cause of Ireland is a proper pro-
paganda to let the European nations
know that while the British flag covers
one inch of Irish soil Irishmen will never
cease latent, or active hostility against
the rule of the alien government, which
is cunningly and maliciously depopulat-
ing Ireland. 1 think that my arrest has
done some good in that way by making
the people of France take an interest in
the seven centuries of the struggle of the
irish race for freedom
Then lyman spoke for considerable
time on the subject of the hour A
twenty mile ditch alone was between
England and an invasion by French
army and a hundred thousand men
would sweep the country. The British
army, he asserted. is composed of the
riff-raff of the cities, while its efficiency
is the laughing stock of the experts of
continental Europe. Russia, he said, is
moving on India, and the downfall of the
British empire with Maculay's proph-
ecy of the New Zelander on the runis Of
London bridge would undoubtedly be
realized within the present generation.

lyman got his effects at the prefecture
this morning and will go to Paris at
noon. He resents the charge of intem-

British press. Asked for statement, he
said: II talk for the benefit of English
newspapers? Not at any price! All 1
can do is to shout with all my might,
down with the English"

lives of the czar of Russia and the queen
of England.
The Associated Press reporter sue
ceeded in getting the following state
ments from the recently released sus-
poets:
John F.. Kearney said he had gone
some weeks ago to Antwerp and later to
Rotterdam to see his wife's friends on
family and business matters.
While there he said he met Haines and
both recognized each other simply
through their speaking English
Kearney speaks and reads German
fairly well, while Haines, who was on
tour of pleasure, only speaks English.
They stopped at the same hotel in Rot

fined to his room on the following day
On Sunday morning about o'clock,
while oecoupyng the same room at the
Queens hotel Rotterdam, they were

"Those explosives were put there af-
ter we were taken out of the room," SAID
Kearney.
81 knew nothing of what was being
done in my case until week ago last
Saturday, when two officers came to my
cell and told me to come out. I met
Haines at the entrance of the prison and
we were both hustled into a carriage
which was waiting. Accompanied by
the officers we We're driven to the
Netherland pier and put aboard the ves-

my money"

by Scotland Yard detectives as part of
a plot to make case against lrlshmen.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Edward j. Ivory,
alias Bell. the alleged dynamiter, was

long delay had already damaged Ivory $
business in New York and there was nc
evidence against him. The magistrate
however, remandsd the prisoner, re-
marking that there was considerable ev-
idence against him.
