LONDON. May 15-The writing of new chapter of the history of the Sim Fein rebellion was begun today, when Sir Roger Easement, knighted in 1911 for services to the British government, and Daniel Julian Bai- ley. an Irish private soldier. one of his companions on the ll-fated sub marine trip from Germany to Ire- land. were placed in the dock of the Bow street police court for prelim- mary execution on the charge of high treason.
 While considerable testimony intro duced by the crown tended to merlin mate Bailey, the main attack of the prosecution was directed against Easement in an endeavor to enmesh him in net of evidence which would establish without question the lead . ing part it is claimed he played in the conspiracy. whose notifications extended over to America.
 Easement himself was the center of all eyes during the day. It was evil dent that no ordinary prisoner was before the bar, for, despite the un- kempt condition of his clothing. he made a striking figure, with newly trimmed beard and hair brushed wei back from a high forehead, under meath which were the deep-set eyes of the dreamer.
 Easement busied himself takinl notes, indicating, that he intended [, have hand in the presentation oi his defense. He was always self possessed and. as the case wore on began to assume considerable assur anee.
 The testimony developed fey thrills, the prosecution devoting it attention to showing how Casemen carried on the alleged recruiting fo his Irish brigade in German pfisol camps. The most dramatic part o the whole proceeding was the addres of the attorney general. Sir Fred

erick T.. Smith, who outlined Sir Roger Easements former services to his country told of the honor be- slowed upon the prisone- by his king. and then shifted abruptly to the de tails of the conspiracy matched in Germany.
 It was during his address that the attorney general introduced letter written by Easement thanking Sir Edward Grey, the British secretary for foreign affairs. for the knight hood conferred upon him in recogni- tion of his Putanumo service. In this letter Easement said:
 'I am indeed grateful to you for chis singular assurance of your per sonal interest. 1 am very sensible of the honor done me by his majesty, ,and would beg that my humble duty may be presented to his majesty when you can do me the honor of conveying to him my deep apprecia .
 tion of the honor that he has been 50 generously pleased t6 confer upon me"
 The attorney general introduced another striking feature when he paused in his speech to produce 1T court the flag which jt is asserted Easement and his companions brough from Germany to Ireland This wa, l the emblem of revolt--a green flat with yellow castle upon it and un l der the castle the motto. "Urbs antiqua fuit studisque as7er i ina belli"

 several times questioned the witnesse
 as to why Easement wished them {, join the Irish brigade The point 0 the questions seemed to be to shoy !that the freedom of ireland was tn tonly thing involved and that the bri gade was not to attempt to assis Germany
