The newspapers make great spreads
of the evidence furnished by Jones
and have scare heads reading: "Le

When Jones first appeared on the
witness stand Mr.. Gill asked the pre-
siding magistrate to stop all shetching
in court, eXclaiming that it was of the
utmost Importance that nothing should
be allowed to transpire to identify the
witness in the future.
Mr.. Carter was present in court as
the representative Of the United States

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

Jones Identity.
New York, Nov. Is. - The news OF
the product II of an informer in the
Ivory case in London created quite a
sensation and was productive of con-
siderable comment in Irish circles III
this city. Dilligent inquiries among
prominent Irish Nationalist by rep
lesentative of the Associated Press
failed to establish the identity Of more
than one man named Jones who ever
had any connection with Irish matters
in this city. This mans name is
Thomas M. Jones, who was member
of the Shamrock club and also one Of
the secretaries OF the Amnesty associa-
ton.
Mclaughlin, secretary of the Irish
National alliance, said: II have known
Thomas NJ. Jones for about three
years. He was a member of the al
liaaCe and also one of the secretaries
of the Amnesty association. l believe
that he was also a member of the
Naliy club, which also belongs to the
alliance, but I think the cabled reports
hav7 confounded the Ilish National al
lance with the United Irishmen. The
BOOKS of the alliance are open to the
public, and the English government
can send it's representatives to eX-
anime them if it wishes to do So The
platform and principles of the alliance,
which We're adopted at the Chicago
convention last year, have been pub
lished and there is no secrecy what
ever in the organization. Whether
Jones is a friend of lyman or Kearney
| do not know, but am satisfied that
if he knows anything of a so-c'lled
dynamite plot, the whole thing must
have originated in his own brain. Ac-
cording to the cable reports he says
