SUSPICION NOT ENOUGH
TO CONVICT SIM EEINERS

Friday. May ) (via Lon
don, May O.-Justice is being dealt out
TO the Sim Felncrs on the pure facta
proved by incontestable testimony re-
gardinG their active anticipation in
the recent rebellion. Suspicion is not
enough for a court-martial to condemn
any man, and vengeance for the killing
Of soldiers or the d~estructicn Of PROF.
erty does not enter the minds of the
military judges. There is no "dragoo,-
ing to death" CT the rebels.
The Associated Press was placed In
a position to-day to obtain first-hand
Information OF the entire system OF
charge. evidence. trial and sentence m
the case of men captured during the
fighting, or who surrendered after the
collapse of the rising. AS soon as n
rebel falls into the hands of the au-
thorities. his identity Is established ana
the evidence Is recorded OF tho circum-
stance in which he Is taken. The re-
ports OF officers and soldiers concern
cd In the capture are written down.
The prisoner is placed in confinement.
Then a preliminary inquiry is held
and lawyers draw up the charge.
The next process is 4 formation of
a field court-martial, Of which three
are sitting. to dispose Of cases rapidly.
Each court is composed Of three su-
perior army officers. Only one of the
judges participated in the suppression
Of the rebellion, so it cannot be al
legged that the officers acting as judges
Will bring prejudice to bear arising
from their personal feelings.
WITNESSES TESTIFY
IN COMPLETE
Before tho prisoner Is brought be-
fore the court, the charge against him
is read In full, in order that the &c.
cused may prepare to defend himself
when facing the judges. He has no
legal defender, but should he desire to
call witnesses the court Immediately
calls them TO testify in complete free
dom.
Tho court sits In a barrack room, un-
surrounded by the wigs, gowns or
ceremonial Of tho usual civil courts.
Tho reading OF the charge Is followed
by testimony for the prosecution. at
ter which the prisoner pleads in de-
fcnse II no wishes or admits his guilt.
Tho Judges then consider the facts
