NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Ed j. Ivory,
who was arrested in Glasgow last Sep
tember on charge of completely with
other persons in dynamite conspiracy
in England, arrived here this afternoon
by the White Star steamer Majestic.
Ivory was accompanied by ex-Assist-
ant District Attorney Mcintyre of New
York, who had been sent to London by
the Irish National alliance, to act as
counsel for Ivory.
Patrick Smythe, Patrick o. O'Rourke and
John Wynne, three witnesses who had
gone from New York to testify in Ivory's
behalf were also on board the Majestic.
A steamer with 500 delegates from the
Irish National alliance, the Ancient Or
der of Hibernans and other Irish organ
izations, met the Majestic on her ar
rival at Quarantine and took Ivory and
his party off the Atlantic liner.
Ivory, when he and his friends got on
board the excursion steamer was re-
ceived by salvos of cannon and cheer
ing almost interminable from the recep
tion delegation.
President William Lyman of the Irish
National alliance, welcomed Ivory back,
speaking in part as follows: Here is
man who has gone through the crucible
and suffered every indignity that Eng
land, through her Scotland Yard detec-
tives and her informers, could inflict. He
has come out of the terrible ordeal un-
scathed. We greet him as the only Irish
man who has ever escaped without un-
heard-of suffering from the hands Of
Great Britain"
After Mr.. Lyman had congratulated
Lawyer Mcintyre upon his successful
work for Ivory the latter made short
speech in which he said that every eff
fort had been made by England's detec-
tives and some of her counsel to induce
him to plead guilty to the charge made
against him.
but for the fact that Mr.. Mcintyre
came over to defend me and also for the
dread of American opinion, l would have
BEEN" he said, convicted and sent to
prison for long term-perhaps like
other men, driven insane-on evidence
manufactured by English informers."
OConnor Mclaughlin, secretary of the
alliance. then read an address of well
come to Ivory, Mcintyre and the wit
nesses, to which Mr.. Mcintyre made re-
ply.
When the committees steamer re-
turned to the city Ivory and Mcintyre
held reception at the headquarters of
the Irish National alliance. Mr.. McIn-
tyre told of the refusal of Thomas Meric
Jones, the 1nfOnmer, to appear on the
witness stand when he became aware
that IvOry's witnesses would prove that
resolutions advocating the use of dyna-
mite to blow up the British embassy at
Washington and the house of commons
in London had been proposed by Jones
himself at an Irish club to which he be-
longed here.
I'VE would also have proved" said
Mr. Mcintyre. that during the inform
ers stay in Dublin he tried to plant de-
tonators in the pockets of gentleman
to whom he was introduced and had four
Scotland Yard detectives and five police
men watching to arrest the unfortunate
victim of the plot. This man refused to
deal with Jones and luckily escaped.
Had the detonators been found upon
him, Jones would have added a link to
the perjured evidence on which Ivory
was to have been convicted"
Ivory recounted the experience of his
prison life since his arrest on September
last. Ivory emphatically denied the
story that he had received $50, 900 s COM
pensation for his arrest
Mcintyre also stated that there was no
truth in the compensation story One
of the officers of the Majestic told a re-
porter at quarantine that two Scotland
Yard detectives had made the passage
across unknown to Ivory.
They are the best men in London"
this officer said zone of them says he
has instructions to follow Ivory indefi-
nitely."
