CASEMENT PLEA LOST
IN COURT OF APPEALS;
KING ALONE CAN SAVE
Judges of Criminal Bench Give
' Quick Adverse Decision With
out Even Hearing Argu
ment for Crown
LONDON, July 18. The appeal ot Sir
Roger Casement from his conviction of
high treason was dlsmlrscd In tho Criminal
Court of Appeals today.
Casement must die Unless King Oeorge
Intervenes In his behalf.
Argument In behalf of the nppcllant
wero concluded this morning by Alexander
Sullivan. K. C, chief of counsel for Cnso
ment. A atrong nppeal was made, Mr. Sullivan
citing many quotations from the ancient
law to sustain his contentions.
When the argument wns ended, the court
lost little time In reaching Us decision
Justice Darling presided, and with him
sat Justices Bray, Scrutton, Larence nnd
Atkln
When the proceedings were resumed the
courtroom was crowded, the spectators lis
tening with tho deepest Interest to the ad
dress of Casement's counsel.
In tho continuation of his speech Mr.
Sullivan argued that tho offense charged
under the statute under which tho Indict
ment wns drawn could not exist because It
was committed outside of the realm of the
King's dominions.
Casement, who wns found guilty June 20,
was, sentenced to death by hanging. The
nppeal wan not directed against tho death
sentence, however, but against the convic
tion. Michael F. Doyle, of Philadelphia, ad
visory counsel for Casement, made the
following statement nftcr the court had
dismissed the appeal:
"Today's decision concludes Casement's
rights In court unless the case Is tnken
Into the Houso of Lords In view of the
fnct thnt the Attorney Genornl was not
called upon to reply to tho defense's nrgu
menta, this Is unlikely, na tho Attorney
General has to glvo permission for further
appeal. This decision Is tho first clear
interpretation of the nnclent stntute relating
to high treason. BG6 yenrs old. Powerful
Influences aro at work to secure a reprieve,
which wo expect will bo successful Case
ment continues cheerful."
Mr. Doylo will sail for New York on
Thursday.
