Special Cable Dispatch to yHr EVENING STAR:
LONDON, May 5.-The net result OF O'Brfen's
trials is that he gets four months without hard
labor. This does not mean, however, that he will
not have to pick oakum and do other hum'lating
work. The theft OF documents In the courthouse
is great mystery. The government Will attempt
to show that the nationallsts at the bottom OF
the matter, but there is much force in the conten-
tiOn OF OBrien'5 friends that his own solicitors
bag with papers was stolen; that the evidence
against him was only OF the ordinary character In
such prosecutions while some damaging admis-
sions were made by the government witnesses,
and that the magistrates showed the greatest
aiacrity In beginning the trial afresh, without even
calling for evidence respecting the theft.
