SENTENCED TO DEATH t
Sir Roger Casement .was1 pro
nounced guilty of high treason by
tho British High Court today.
LONDON, June 20, Sir Roger Casement
today was found sutlty of high treason In
the High Court of Justice. 'The .Jury was
out only BO minutes.'
Immediately after the' verdict was re
turned. Casement was sentenced to' death
by Baron Reading, the Lord Chief Jus
tice. As. the verdict was announced, Sir Roger
Casement stood up bravely under the blow,
lie had evidently, .entertained little hope
from the beginning of the trial.
J E. 'Jones, of counsel for the defense,
who finished BUmmlptr up because of the
illness o Alexander Sullivan, chief counsel
for Casement, argued that Sir Roger was a
loyal, patriotic; Irishman. He contended that
he was recruiting an' Irish regiment among
prisoners In German because the Ulsterltes
threatened civil war (n Ireland.
The- Jury," IAterpo.sed the. Lord Chief
Justice, 'VIII be instructed that any act
tending t9 Weaken 'te, country's power of
resistance was 'aiding and comforting the
King's enemies."'
Casement was plainly dipressed by this
ruling. He ' turned an appealing loo
toward his counsel who hastily concluded
his argument
The Attorney General, Sir Frederick E.
Smith, began summing up at it MS a. m.
for tha prosecution. He 'said that the
argument Bet up by Casement's counsel
was that there was a home rule bill on
the statute books for the pprth of Ireland,
that forces were armlnff for resistance, and
that, as tha military was Inadequate for
the support o tnos wishing the bU to
becoma a-Uyw, It was necessary for all
Irishman to arm.
