NEWSPAPERS ASK CLEMENCY
FOR CONDEMNED EASEMENT

:. London, Eng June 5o.-The Man
chester Guardian. one OF the most in
nuentiaI papers in the country, makes
q direct plea for clemency for Sir Roger
Easement
While admitting that no other sen
tence but that Of death could have
been pronounced by the court, the
Guardian says:
Easement was q fanatic and his
crimes. like those OF many other fanat-
les. are free from the faint OF sordld-
ness and meanness. The death penalty
win do nothing TO kill such dreams as
his. Rather it viii give them life.
For the sake Of the new Ireland
which we hope to see, it is q moment
for clemency"
An indirect plea for mercy is made
BY other papers on the ground that
execution Of Easement would not as
eist in settling the Irish problem
