THE FATEOF LYNCH

OF CHARGE OF HIGH TREASON
Irishman Who Went to South Africa

london. Jan. 24-Found guilty of
high treason. ColoI.el Arthur Lynch.
the Irish soldier of fortune who joined
British. must die by the hangman's
moose. That was the verdict of the
special jury rendered yesterday. po-
litical reasons do not influence the adj
ministration of Justice in England: con
sequently Colonel Lynch has aban-
dOned hope and suffers the awful sus-
pense of a fun expectation of meet
ing death. The fact that he was elect
ed to seat IN parliament by the Ell
thusiastic inhabitants of Galway will
not save him, he knows. There are
some. however. who believe the king
will pardon Lynch at the last minute
to avoid having it written i'll history
that n member-elect of parliament

Cannot Desert in War Time.
Colonel Lynch was not appalled, by
the imposition % the death penalty.
On the contrary. when the verdict that
apparently sealed his fate was read he

hurled his last eloquent words of de-
fiance in the face of all England. The
lord chief Justice summed up briefly.
He said that if in war time a British
subject joined the kings enemies. what
ever his purpose, he was guilty of an
unlawful act. NaturaliZa ton during
war time afforded no excuse for subse-
Quent acts. There was abundant evil
dence he said. of overt acts in aiding
the kings enemies. The jury's verdict
was guilty.
Prisoner Has Nothing to Say.
When asked if he had anything to
say as to why he should not be sen
fenced to death, Colonel Lynch replied
