JUST LIKE LECARON.
SPY IN BRITISH PAY TEsTlFlES AT
THE IVORY TRIAL.
Government Witness Appears Who Knocks
the Confidence Out of the Alleged Dyna-
inter, and Tells story of His Experience
with Irish Societies In America.


London, Nov. 14.-The final examina-
ton OF Edward j. Ivory. alias Edward
Bell, the saloon keeper of New York
and alleged dynamiter, at Bow street
police court yesterday developed into
sensation equal To the excitement
caused by the revelations of Detective
LeCaron some years ago. The weekly
examinations of Ivory have been going
on at Bow street on Friday ever since
he was brought TO London after his ar
rest st Glasgow some two months ago,
on the charge of being concerned with
p. j. lyman, Kearney. Haines and 9TH
ers in a conspiracy to blow up public
and other buildings with the use of dy-
Mantle. Hitherto the testimony has
been of the usual monotonous police
court description. But yesterday the
crown, represented by c. T.. Gill,
sprung a sensation in the shape of the
testimony Of a government detective
known only as Jones'" a native of
Armagh, Ireland, who seems 10 have
succeeded in becoming a member of Sc
cret Irish organizations in New York
under instructions" and TO have pos
sessed himself OF secrets Of the Clan
na-Gael association.
Appearance That Staggers Ivory.
Ivory has hitherto behaved in a most
unconcerned manner, as If confident or
acquittal: but yesterday when Jones"
was placed in the witness box the pris-
oner's face showed CONSERVATION. He
was completely staggered by the APP
pearance of Jones under such circum-
stances, and great though suppressed
excitement prevailed in court when
rumor was circulated that the prosecu-
ton expected the mysterious witness,
whose real name is kept secret, to un-
ravel the secret history of the physical
force" movement in the United States.
When Jones first appeared on the wit
ness stand Gill asked the presiding
magistrate to stop all sketching in
court, exclaiming that IL was of the ut
most Importance that nothing should
be allowed to transpire TO identify the
witness in the future.
Witness Fears the Assassin.
But Jones' caused more excitement
during the proceedings by suddenly ad-
dressing Magistrate Vaughn, saying:
"A reporter is taking sketch of me. /
fear for my safety" The magistrate
ordered the sketch dropped and later
when he found a reporter writing
description Of the detective he ordered
that dropped also. Chief Inspector Mel

ent in court. took an active part in sup
pressing the taking of descriptions Of

inches high. with a brown beard and
mustache, and hair a shade darker. He

shifty look. He was very nervous while
in court. and was constantly pulling
his beard. He spoke with a pronounced
brogue. He delivered his testimony
as though in fear of his life and
seemed to be scared of the sound of his
own voice.
