EASEMENT PLEA LOST
IN COURT OF APPEALS;
KING ALONE CAN SAVE
Judges of Criminal Bench Give
Quick Adverse Decision With
out Even Hearing Argu-
ment for Crown

LONDON, July 1s-The appeal OF Sir
Roger Easement from his conviction OF
high treason was dismissed In tho Criminal
Court Of Appeals today. ,..
Easement must die unless King George
intervenes in his behalf.
Arguments in behalf Of the appellant
were concluded this morning by Alexander
Sullivan, K c., chief Of counsel for Cnse-
ment.
A strong appeal was made. Mr. Sullivan
citing many quotations from the ancient
law to sustain his contentious.
When the argument was ended. the court
lost little time in reaching It's decision.
Justice Darling presided, and with him
sat Justices Bray, Scrutton, Larence and
Atltn.
When the proceedings were resumed the
courtroom was crowded. the spectators lis
tenng with the deepest interest to the ad-
dress Of Easements counsel.
In the continuation of his speech Mr..
Sullivan argued that the offense charged
under the statute under which the indict-
ment was drawn could not exist because 1t
was committed outside of the realm of the
Kings dominions.
Easement. who was found guilty June 90.
was. sentenced to death by hanging. The
appeal was not directed against the death
sentence, however, but against the convic-
tion.
MlCudel DOylet VI
visory counsel for Easement made the
following statement after the court had
dismissed the appeal
"Today's decision concludes Easement S
rights in court unless the case is taken
into the House of Lords In view of the
fact that the Attorney General was not
called upon to reply to the defense's argu-
ments this is unlikely. as the Attorney
General has to give permission for further
appeal This decision Is the first clear
Interpretation of the ancient statute relating
to high treason 566 years old. Powerful
influences are at work to secure a reprieve,
which we expect will be successful. Case
ment continues cheerful"
