Can Die For Erin. .
Sir Roger Casement must die as a
traitor.
After only an hour’s deliberation the
tice, called upon to pass upon ta:
guilt or innocence of the Irish knight
tried for high treason, brought in a
verdict of “guilty.”
His counsel will take an appeal. to
the criminal court of appeals and then
to the house of lords.
Following the verdict Sir Roger
arose aid made a statement which
will be historic’ in the annals of the
centuries old “Irich question.” His
speech was as touching as it was elo
quent, as dramatic as it was bitter
and defiant. He said:
“If we Irishmen are to be hanged
as murderers, shot as rebels, and im-
prisoned as convicts just because ws
love Ire’and, then I am proud irdeed
to stand here, in the traitor’s dock,
proud to be a rebel, glad to give my
last drop of blood for the rebellion.
“Irishmen are told to die for Flan-
Mesopotamia—with the promise that
they may get home rule after their
death. But if they are willing to lay
