for His Life In . Higher Court.

London, May 1s, p. m.-Sir Roger
Easement and Daniel ]. Bailey, who
for two days past have been under
going preliminary examination in
the Bow Street police court on the
charge OF high treason In connection
with the recent Irish revolt, will prob
ably know tomorrow whether they will

PRODUCTION Of evidence today and un-
less the defense has some surprise in
store 1t is believed the hearing will
be concluded and the magistrates de-
eision whether the prisoners shall be
held for trial will be given late to-
morrow.
Legal experts who are following the
case expressed tonight the opinion
that there was small doubt that Sir
Roger and Bailey would reserve their
defense for the higher court. Thus
far, counsel for the prisoners has ask
ed very few questions in cross exami-
nation, apparently being satisfied to
let things take their own course dur
ing the preliminaries. Neither Case
ment nor Bailey has appeared much
worried over the case, Sir Roger in
particular maintaining notable self
possession and eheerfulness the great
er part Of the time.
