CASElkErtT'S PLANS
UPS&T BY FARMER
Continued from rare One '
the barracks and Immediately officers were
aenc out to investigate.
McCarthy Identified a dagger Which he
bad found in the collapsible boat. The
dagger Was placed In evidence as an ehlblt.
Sergeant Ream, of the Irish constabu
lary, 'took up the story where the Kerry
County farmer left off, lie said the police
were scattered over a wide area along tho
const when hews of the landing of three men
was received at the barracks
Tho witnesses failed to Identify Bailey
as one of the three men.
The capture of Casement was tmJs de
scribed by Hearn:
"Wo came upon the prisoner In the old
fort (McKlnna's fort). Wo asked him his
name nnd he replied, 'Klchard Morton, of
Denham, Bucks. We aBked him what his
occupation was. and lip answered: 'I am
nn author. I wrote tho life of St. Brendan.'
"Casement's trousers wero, wet, as though
he had been In the water. When he was
searched, papers bearing writing Iri a for
eign languago wero found."
Hearn then told of opening a tin box,
found by McCarthy. It contntned 9)0
rounds of pHtot ammunition, which had
been carried from Germany to Irclnnd In
a RUbmnrlne.
In spite of Sir Koger's protests, Hearn
said, he was escorted to the Ardfcrt bar
racks after he had dropped a pnper upon
Which were tho words! "Await further
Instructions. Hne decided to stay. Fur
ther ammunition nnd rifles aro needed.
Send another ship"
In splto of his protests ho was escorted
to the Ardfcrt barracks after ho hnd dropped
a paper upon vhlch wero tho words:
"Await further Instructions. Havo decided
to stay. Further ammunition and rifles are
needed. Send nnother shin."
A typical Irish farm maid, buxom, red
checked and blue eyed, was the next wit
ness. She was Mary Gorman Sho told
of seeing three men pass tho farm gato of
her homo about 4 o'clock on Good Friday
morning.
"Do you see ono of those men In court
now?" the witness was asked
"Yes," sho replied. And then sho pointed
a dramatic linger at Casement. Sir Iloger
bent his head and wrote Industriously on
his pad.
Michael Hussy, a Kerry County farm
hand, corroborated much of McCarthy's tes
timony. Sergeant James Butler, of the Irish con
stabulary, who escorted Casement to tho
train that took htm from Tralco to Dublin,
testified that Sir Iloger broke down nnd
sobbed when Informed of tho death of tuo
Sinn Fclnors, who wero drowned In a motor
accident.
"I'm sorry," said Casement, "becausa
they came here to help me. They wero two
lino Irishmen."
Inspector Sntulycock, of Scotland Ynrd,
testified that Casement ndmltted hit Iden
tity when ho met him nt tho railway Bta-
Hon In London and removed him to the
tower.
Constnblo Itellly, who actually arrested
Casement, testified thnt upon scnrchlng tho
prisoner ho found a memorandum, written
In Qerman, covering Casement's recent
travels In Germany.
Martin Collins, a 12-year-old Irish lad,
with a rich brogue, testified that he was
driving a pony cart near tho spot whero
Casement was arrested, when olTlccrs stop
ped him, commandeered tho cart and or
dered him to drlxe to Tralee, where Case
ment was .Imprisoned
Casement smiled when tho boy, cautioned
thnt ho must be posltUe Jn his identifica
tion of tho prisoner, stared at him fully
a minute before announcing he was certain
Sir Itogcr was the man who rodo in his
enrt.
Wearing tho same seedy suit of tweeds as
yesterday Sir Iloger nppearcd In the dock at
Bow Street Pollco Court with a bulging
pad under his arm His gl.inco traveled
swiftly oer tho crowded court room In
which thero were a number of fashlonably
gowned women, nnd then ho nettled down
to take notes of the proceedings.
Public Interest In tho high treason trial
had been whetted by tho testimony of tho
first day's session, and thero was an enor
mous crowd In front of the court long
before tho doors wero opened. It had been
shown that Gcrmnny played a most Im
portant part In Sir Roger's schemo to arm
tho Irish rebels, and tho spectators were
particularly curious to seo If tpe testimony
would show that the plot had any ramifi
cations in the United States.
Maurico Morlarlty, a motorcar driver,
testified that a solicitor's clerk named Stack
hired him on Good Friday to drive him to
Ballyheytc. En route, he said, ho picked
up a man whom ho identified today as Sir
Roger Casement.
Sidney WaghVn, tho Jast witness before
tho hearing was adjourned until tomorrow,
was a signaler aboard the Admiralty sloop
Bluebell, which overhauled the German aux
iliary that accompanied Sir Roger on his ex
pedition to Ireland, carrying munitions and
arms to the rebels.
Waghorn told how tho Bluebell, encoun
tering a tramp vessel flying tho Norwegian
ling, hailed her and received the response
that her name was tho Aud The sloop's
captain was not satisfied and ordered the
stranger to follow into Queonstown. After
hoisting the German ensign tho crew of the
Aud scuttled the vessel and disembarked In
boats. When they surrendered It was found
all wore German naval uniforms.
John Dempsey, a drher. who examined
the hull of the sunken auxiliary, said he
discovered a 12-foot hole In the starboard
quarter, possibly made by an explosion Ho
brought up some ammunition and several
rifles. One of theso, ho said, was of Rus
sian pattern, probably nalng been cap
tured from the Slavs on tho eastern front.
GERMANt tiOPES FOR
ARMtSTlCE SOON
Contlnntd from Pate One
oftlctally made declarations which are now
known to tho whole Avorld.
It Is recalled by tho Cologne Gasetto
that the fcngilsH press then received these
speeches with scorn. Tho paper repeats
that tho Chancellor In his speeches pointed
out the successes of the victorious German
army and stated that Germany's object In
pcaco Is "tho assured and unmenncod futuro
of Germany In freo and peaceful oolut!on
of Its national forces."

by tho country. Not until the country be
came Involved In another war would tho
value of these provisions be appreciated,
They provide for the education, selection

for duties of ofllccrs In time of war.
"Tho volunteer varmy was stricken out
The voto of tho House on this feature was
so decisively against It that tho conferees,
while differing ns to the desirability of the
force, decided not to Include It In the bill,
in Its placo was written n provision for
civilian training camps, which will pro

to join tho Notional Guard.

So much for Senator Chamberlain.
HAY CONTRADICTS TUB SENATOR.
"The Chnmberlaln statement that the
National Guard will bo 440,000 men, plus
officers, It simply untreu," said Itny. "The
maximum forco will bo 428,000 men, plus
officers.
"His attempt to mako It appear thero
.will be 2.'5,000 soldiers Is misleading.
"There will do 176,000 soldiers onu 1110
rest will be Jioncombntant medical corps,
hucksters, unasslgned men, cto.
"Remember, too, these maximum figures
will be reached only by gradual Increases.
IfVo ever have 175,000 men It IU bo after
Mvo years. And remember this:
"If the European war Btopa nnd tho coun
try's stnto of mind becomes normal ngnln,
Congress, within five ,yenrs, can repeal
