Representatives of the Irish National
lists. the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the
Amnesty Associations, various sounty or
ganizations and prominent Irishmen from
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other

permitted aboard, and Ivory and his party
were transferred to the Laura NJ. Starin,
a permit for that privilege having been
granted by Collector of the Port Kilbreth.
Ivory was given hearty reception as
soon as he stepped on the deck of the
Starin. Speeches We're made formally
welcoming the party back to America, and
after shaking hands all around the steam
boat proceeded UP the bay to the city.
Speech making was the order during the
trip TO the city Mr.. Mcintyre next to
Ivory, was the hero of the occasion. He
stated that during the Ivory trial he was
treated with the greatest courtesy by the
British legal authorities He was allowed
to take full charge of the papers relating to
Ivory's defense. He demanded fair and
impartial trial of his client and had no

given $4,000 by the Brit authorities. he
said: No You can deny that. Ivory
neither demanded nor received a dollar. "

others.

Hundred and Twenty-third street and
Lexington avenue, where a big crowd was
waiting to give him a rousing welcome
home.
