Sir Roger Easement Judicially
Murdered, Says Sister.
Never Permitted to Bring Wit
neSSeS Into Court.
TRIED TO PREVENT UPRISING
Ignorance of Facts Caused Him
to Interfere.
"Better to Fight and Die Than
to Submit"

New York, Aug. s.-"My brother
Sir Roger Easement was judicially
murdered to satisfy the blood lust OF
the English Masses said Mrs Agnes
Newman.
It is the first time that she has
consented to be interviewed since the
capture, trial and execution of ner
brother.
Il want the American people to
know" she said, that my brother
was condemned the moment he was
arrested. There never was any doubt
of the outcome of the trial. Mr..
Doyle, Sir Rogers counsel, told me
that when he returned. In fact, there
was no need of a trial Indeed, now
ever, there was no intercession OF
American influence to induce the
British government TO show clemency-
The right was not permitted to
produce evidence that would have
proved my brothers innocence. The
British authorities refused Mr.. Doyle
permission to go to Germany and OBJ
tain the testimony of essential wit
pesses.
They would have proved that my
brother did not go to Ireland to pro-
mote or lead the uprising. They went
there to stop it. He believed that for
the Irish volunteers unarmed to rise
against the trained soldiery of Eng
idnu WIN lnelT dIiplc supply VI IlAASS
and munitions, machine guns and ar
tillery would simply result in slaugh-
ter.
Thought Them Unarmed.
He was not aware that the volun-
teers had arms and ammunition nor
was he aware that an order had been
issued to force the volunteers to dis
arm. He only knew in Berlin that an
uprising was planned, so he induced
the Germans to send him on a sub
marine. The submarine was unarmed,
without a gun or a torpedo. My

trance Difficult Under

of an ordinance that would effectually

that shows, circuses and other such
attractions may not be granted IL

first when Attorney Greed Caldwell
asked the council not to take any
"antagonistic" action against carni-
val billed to play here the week of
Nov 13, under the auspices of the
degree team of the local camp of the
Woodmen of the World, and Mr.. Cald-
we'll went farther and asked the
council to grant the Woodmen a. re-
duction in the license, that they
might be even mode successful in
their efforts to raise fund to equip
and establish a band here.
There was considerable discussion.
during which it was brought out that
local picture show operators were
back of the movement to bar carni-
walls. tent shows and other such

collector not to charge any license
fee whatever for the carnival which
will appear for the ,Woodmen here,

bLEDSOE LET OUT
IN LEGAL MANNER,
SAYS HIGH COURT
Decision of Supreme Fri
bunal Upholds Insane
Asylum Board Of Control.

Little Rock, Nov. 6.-NoW that the
supreme court has affirmed the lower
court in sustaining the board of con-
troll in the discharge of DR.. E. P.
Bledsoe as superintendent of the in
sane asylum, the board again comes to
the front. For several months the
board has been restrained by court
action from interfering with the man
agement of the institution. Now, by
a vote of three to two, Justices Wood
and Hart dissenting, the hands of the
board are united, and they are free
to proceed with the enforcement of
their action for the discharge of DR..
Bledsoe, and to elect some one as his
successor. No action has been taken
yet. Mention of Dr. Greene is again
heard, but doubt is expressed whether
he will give up his private practice to
accept it.
The decision held that the board had
acted in accordance with the statutes
in giving DR.. Bledsoe a hearing, and
that the boards subsequent action
was justified by the evidence. At
torneys for Dr. Bledsoe said they
probably would ask for rehearing.
In the meantime the board members
remained reticent, saying they would
take no action toward electing. DR..
Bledsoe's successor until it was deter
mined whether Dr. Bledsoe would
endeavor to get rehearing.

contain much fruit. And such cake

three cupfuls of -four in all that are
used. Then mix in a teaSpOOnful eaci
of nutmeg. mace and cloves. and tinall.
