whether Sir Roger Easement and Dan
iel Bailey must stand trial for their
lives in the high court of justice on a
charge Of high treason is expected to
be handed down late today by Sir John
Dickinson, sitting as committing magis-
trate, in the Bow Street police court.
The prosecution has very little more
evidence to introduce against the head
of the Sim Fein revolt and the for
mer British soldier whom he is ac-
cused of having seduced from his al
legiance. 1t is generally believed the
prisoners will reserve their defense for
the high court altho their lawyers have
consistently refused to make any state
ment rs to their Intentions. -
Constable Carter Recalled.
When the case was reopened today
Constable Carter, Of the Royal Irish
constabulary, was recalled for cross
examination at the request of the de-
tense. The trend Of the questions In
dicated that at the time of his arrest,
Bailey attempted unsuccessfully to give
information to the police in regard to
the projected uprising.
Garter was asked whether he had
heard Bailey say after his arrest that
he had a statement tor the authorities
and that an officer had been sent for.
The constable responded that he did
not hear<this but that at another time
be did hear Bailey says; .25
I have important information which
VIII give you police something to do.'
Tells Of Driving Captive. q,
The star witness from the standpoint
Of human interest was Martin Collins, a
farmers lad of IL years, who was
called to identify Easement as one of
the men arrested near Tralee. Martin
told with ssident pride how he had
driven Easement and constable for
several miles when the prisoner was
being taken to, headquarters. Much of
the time he was testifying the boy kept
his eyes on Easement, and there was
no hesitation on his part as he de-
clared the man in the dock was the
one he had driven in his cart ss,; i &
After the hearing had been in pro-.
gress for some time Easement turned:
his attention from the testimony to the
writing Of q long statement. While thus
engaged. he showed marked emotion
for the first time since the hearing be-;
gaE. Whatever was the nature of his
th5ughts, they were such that they
