spiracy in England, arrived here yes
terday afternoon by the White Star
steamer Majestic. Ivory was accom-
panied by ex-Assistant District At
torney Mcintyre, Of New York, who
had been sent from here by the Irish
National alliance to act as his coun-
sci. A steamer with 500 delegates from
Irish societies met the Majestic on her
arrival al Quarantine, and took Ivory
and his party off the Atlantic liner.
Ivory was received by saIvos Of canon
and cheering almost interminable
from the reception delegation.
President william Lyman, Of the
Irish National alliance, welcomed
Ivory back, speaking in part as fol-
lows:
He is a man who has gone through
the crucible and suffered every indig-
nifty that England, through her Scot
land Yard detectives and her inform
ers, could inhict. He has come out of
the terrible ordeal unscathed. We
greet him as the only Irishman who
has ever escaped without unheard OF
suffering from the hands of Great
Britain"
After Mr.. Lyman had congratulated
Lawyer Mcintyre upon his successful
work for Ivory the latter made a short
speech, in which he said that every
effort had been made by English de-
tectives and some Of his counsel to in
duee him to plead guilty to the
charges made against him.
But for the fact that Mr.. Mcintyre
came to defend me, and also for the
dread of American public opinion, .
he said, II should have been convict
ed and sentenced to Imprisonment fol
a long term-perhaps, like other men
driven insane-on evidence offered by
English informers."
O'Connor Mclaughlin, secretary oil
the Irish National alliance, then read
an address of welcome to Ivory, Me
IntyPe and the witnesses, to which
Mr.. Mcintyre made reply. He said
The demand for indemnity for tn,
unwarrantable imprisonment of az
American citizen must come from
America, n will be made in such Z
name as to evoke an immediate re
sponse."
