A year after he reached America, Devoy re- celVed letters from some of the mill ltary prisoners in Western Australia among them O'Reil1y. The Clan-Na- Gael took steps to bring about their rescue in 1874 and a committee to plan the work was appointed. The only survivors of this committee are pr William Carroll of Philadelphia ana Supreme Court Justice John w. GOT of New York.

He was dis charged by James Gorden Bennett, the owner of the paper, for working Tn the Interests of Parnell, to whom Bennett was opposed.
