Correct Name is Edward ]. Ivory,
Remanded for a Week by
Magistrate Vaughan

arrested in Glasgow last Saturday, ar
rived in London at $40 a. M, having

requisition from Scotland Yard. lie
was in charge Of the officers sent from
Scotland Yark to bring him here. Up
on his arrival at the station he was
put into a carriage and driven at
once to the Bow Street police court.
There were very few persons about
the station when the dynamiter ar
rived, and scarcely any Of these seem
ed to be aware of his presence. The
prisoner was not handcuffed. lie
maintained his sullen demeanor,
scarcely making reply to anything
that was said to him by the officers.
Upon reaching Bow Street police
court the prisoner was at once
arraigned before the sitting magis-
trate, Mr.. James Vaughan. The en-.
try upon the charge sheet of the po-
lice court in his case was Edward
Bell, alias Edward J. Ivory, an Ameri-
eau citizen of I'll Lexington avenue,
New York, accused of unlawfully and
maliciously conspiring with others to
cause an explosion within the United
Kingdom to oendanger and injure prop
erty; also of counselling and abetting
the commission of crime"
The court room was crowded with
newspaper reporters and many artists
were present for the purpose of max
ing sketches Of the prisoner.
Magistrate Vaughan asked the pris
oner his real name and the latter
replied, Edward J. Ivory
Detective Flood then took the wit
ness stand and testified that number
of documents and fl6O in money had
been found in the possession Of the
prisoner when he was arrested. The
prisoner was remanded for week.

Arkansas wardcns Discharged for Cruelty
to Conviets
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 1.-THE
state psnitentiary board has just held
an important meeting, and as a result
the following discharges were ordered:
j. w. Phillips, warden at Gray's camp;
K. r. Mcintosh. warden at Vests
camp; j. p bartlett, warden at Gallo
way camp; w. b. Mccarthy, war
den at Wrightsville camp, and
Vincent Potts, riding boss
at Wrightsville. The general
charge preferred was addiction to
strong drink and cruel treatment of
convicts in their charge. The most
fragrant act which came under the OBJ
scrvation of Auditor c. u. Mills, who
preferred the charges, happened at
Vests camp last Friday. Two colored
convicts had escaped. When captured
they were severely whipped, iron rings
were rivitcd about their neclSs, one
end of chain fastened to the rings
and the other to their waists. They
were able to straighten up, how
ever, when Mr.. Mills saw them,
but the chains we're drawn SO
tight that the men were unable to lift
up their heads, being compelled to
work in that position. Subsequently !
the warden and several Of the guards
became drunk and held a kangaroo
court, and sentenced the same negroe:
to be whipped again, tho sentence be
ing carried out with cruel severity.
BY order of Mr.. Mills the two convict:
were brought to the walls and the
rings removed from their necks.
