LONDON. August 3-Without waving

explanation of this action in the fol-

esta blished a reputation through his
investigation of the Kongo and South
American rubber atrocities committed
on natives by Belgian and British rub
Der hunters. The then Sir Roger headed
n commission of inquiry which brought
about reforms. In 1913 he became ac-
lively identified with the organization
of the Irish national volunteers. He
was in the United States when the war
began, and addressed an open letter to
the Irish press, advising Irfshmen to
remain neutral. In October. 1914. he
went to Norway, and thence to Berlin.
whence came the news that startled
the world-Casement was plotting
what his country looked upon as high
treason. His friends. recalling his
years of service in Africa and South
America claimed for him that the trop-
ical sun had unbalanced him mentally.

inevitable that the blockading English
warshipS would capture 1t. The crew
were made prisoners The tramp had
been conveyed from Kiel by a German
submarine, from which Easement and
a companion landed on Irish soil, where
they were taken into custody before
their plans matured.
His First Hearing in May.
In May, Easement was given a pre-
liminary hearing and was committed
for trial on the charge of high treason.
Late in June the trial was begun,
Easement pleading not guilty and ut
tering a denial that he had worked in
Germany's interests and that he had
accepted German gold as bribe.
The courts verdict was guilty. and
the sentence of death by hanging was,
after appeal by counsel, confirmed by
the court of criminal appeal late in
July.
The London press generally approved
the fate legally fixed for Easement. but
in America persistent efforts were
made to save the noted prisoner from
death.
Efforts to Obtain a Reprieve.
Practically to the very hour of Roger
Easements execution strenuous efforts
were made by his friends and sympa-
thizerS in the United States and Ireland,

and even in England, to secure re-
prieve. Petitions for mercy poured in
upon the British government and ef-
forts were made to obtain action by
President Wilson. Repeated attempts
to put a resolution through the United
States Senate requesting the President
to urge Great Britain to extend mercy
to Easement failed. This agitation was
finally ended July 81. when the Senate
committee on foreign relations ordered

States government. The only action
taken in Washington was the adoption

Many prominent men, both here and
in Great Britain. interested themselves
in Easements behalf. including George
Bernard Shaw and the Irish poet, Will
liam Butler Yeats. The hopes of the
condemned mans friends were extin-
guished when Lord Robert Cecil. minis
ter of war trade. announced yesterday
that the British government was de-

Explains Refusal to Reprieve.

In explanation of the governments
refusal to reprieve Roger Easement,
Lord Robert Cecil. parliamentary un-
dersecretary for foreign affairs, and
minister of war trade. gave to the As
sociated Press the following statement.
No doubt of Easements guilt exists
No one doubts that the court and iurv
arrived at the right verdict The only
ground Tor reprievc would be po-
lltcal expediency, difficult ground to
put forward In this country
This country never could strain the
law to punish a man for the same rea-
to let one off.
THE Irish rebellion began with the
murder OF unarmed people, both SOL
diers and police. No grievance justi-
ned II and 1t was purely political
movement organized by small sec
tion of Irish people who still hate
England and was assisted by Ger
many.
There was and is In this country the
greatest possible indignation against
these people. There is no doubt that
Easement did everything possible to as
sist this rebellion In cooperation with
the Germans. There can be no doubt
that he was moved by enmity for this
country.
Easement Malignant and Hostile"
The contention that he landed in
Ireland for the purpose of preventing
the rebellion is demonstrabiy false No
such assertion was made by counsel at
the trial
Easement was much more malignant
and hostile to this country than were
the leaders of the rising who were
caught with arms in their hands. He
visited military prisons in Germany
with the intention OF persuading Irish
soldiers to throw off their allegiance.
All sorts of promises were made for
the improvement Of the condition of
these men to induce them to Join the
Irish Legion. An enormous majority
thus approached refused and thereafter
were subjected to increased hardships
by the Germans.

death courageously.

Carreu. Just before the black cap
was adjusted he stood forward boldly

for the execution, though he would not be
permitted to wear collar.
According to one news agency Easement
had high hopes Of being reprteved until
tho eve Of his execution. He did not hide
the fact that he expected his many power
full friends would obtain for him a free
pardon. because many of them exercised
no little influence in political as well as
literary circles.

amount Of writing he retired to rest and
slept soundly.
when aroused this morning Easement
showed considera BILE nervousness, but he
was quite collected and thanked the ward
ers for the many little kindnesses they
had shown him while he occupied the
death cell"
Receives Church's Last Rites.
All tho members OF Easements fam
lily were Protestants and he was
brought up in that faith. but became
a convert to Roman Catholicism with
in the last few weeks. On June 2s he
was registered member of the Roman
Catholic Church and since that time
Fathers McCarrell and Carey of Edin
Grove Church. near the prison, have
been ministering to him. He received
his first and only communion at
o'clock this morning. when he assisted
al mass in his cell. One of his attend
ants said that his overpowering love
for God and Ireland was most striking.
According to this attendant the last
words of the condemned man, apart
from his prayers, were: Il die for my
country" Father McCarrell said that
he found Easement to be a beautiful
character and that he never instruct
ed any one in his religion who showed
himself quicker or more promising
