 wold Homestead in Kos
 suth Street.

The Library board has completed negotiations for the purchase of sites for two branch libraries, one in the North End and the other in East Bridgeport.

 The East Bridgeport branch will be built at Kossuth and Jane streets. The property purchased IS known as the old Asa Griswold homestead.

The appropriation allowed for the two plots was s25,o00 and it is understood the purchase price did not exceed that sum.

When the Carnegie Foundation offer ed to> furnish the libraries if the city furnished the sites,> the board decided to take action. Work on the new buildings will be started as soon as possible.

BASEMENT MUST DIE, RULING OF
 APPEALS COURT
Verdict of Lower Court, Holding Irish Knight
 Guilty of Treason.
OF GROWN
 OFFER NO ADDRESSES
Final Decision is Handed Down After Rebels Coun-
 sel Concludes Speech.

London, July 1S-Without hearing the attorneys for the Crown, the court of criminal appeal today dismissed Sir Roger Easements appeal from the verdict of the lower court which found him guilty of treason, for which Viscount Reading, the Lord Chief Justice, sentenced him to death.
 For day and half, Alexander Sullivan, Sir Rogers counsel, urged before the court, quoting many au- thorities in favor of his contention that the offense of treason depended upon whether the accused dwelt un- der the protection of the King and that the crime could not be commit ted without the realm. He abandoned his other points in regard to the Lord fense.
 As soon as MT. Sullivan had con- cluded his argument the court retired to consider whether the attorneys for the Crown would be called on to re- ply. It soon decided to the contrary which indicated that the appeal had gone against Sir Roger who was present during the argument and when judgment was given.
 A further appeal, to the House of Lords, is possible. only if the attorney general gives the certificate that the decision of the court of criminal ap- peal involves a point of law so excep- tionally important that it is desira- ble to the public interest that still higher court should deal with it. This has been done only twice since the court of criminal appeal was estab- lished eight years ago.
 Justice Darling, in delivering the judgment, expressed the indebtedness of the court to MT. Sullivan for his we1l-considered and well-delivered arguments, as the justice characteriz- ed them, adding that they were worthy of the best traditions of the Kings couets 7 bnt he declared that they were answered by the attorneys for the Crown at the first trial.
 Attorney Michael Francis Doyle, of Philadelphia, of counsel for Sir Roger, expressed the opinion today that if was not probable that the attorney general would certify the case for ap- peal for the House of, Lords as the appeal court did not consider it neces- sary to hear argument for the gov ernment.
 reprieve, said the attorney, and there are strong hopes of it's being grant ed.

COURT REFUSES
 TO EXEMPT BOND
 OF BURR S KNAPP
Depositors Win Big Legal
 Victory Through Judge '' Webb's Decision.

{ Burr & Knapp depositors won big legal victory today when Judge Webb of the superior court declined to throw out tledr suit fo collect on the s1o.ooo bond furnished by the Ma tional Surety Co. of New York. Judge Webb overruled the, demurrer filed by counsel for the bonding company ex- 'cept in one minor point. He said the depositors were entitled to participate in the bond
 After the Burr 6 Knapp failure in 1914 1t was found that the firm had a t410,00 bond filed in accordance with the state law to protect depositors in private banking firms. The surety company delayed making good on the bond 50 suit was brought by the State of Connecticut and several depositors.
 Counsel for the surety company then filed a demurrer on various legal grounds. They claimed the proceeds of the bond were not an asset of the bank and that the dividend from, the bonds would not be sufficient to com pensate the depositors for their losses It was also alleged that Trustee John Q. Chamberlain should not have been a party to the action. Judge Webb agrees with this view but overrules the other parts of the demurrer. The depositors can now proceed with their Suit in the regular way.
 The depositors who sued and the amounts they had in the bank are: Attorney Ebert O. Hull. $65; Will liam A. Barnes. $2,015.s7: Charles H. Armstrong, $5S6.12; Mendelsohn Bros. $5,756.23; Thomas Arpold and John H.e Greenwood, $2,80241: Stan ley J. Greenwood, $3. .22L23. ~
