NATIVE OF WATERFORD.
James ]. Donagan Was Long in Granite
Industry at Concord, N. H.

Concord, N. H., Aug. 3.--James J
Donagan, for many years prominently
identified with the granite industry in
Concord, died yesterday. He was born
in Waterford, Vt, April 2s, 1883, but
had resided in Concord for more than
half century, representing his ward in
the legislature and serving as member
of the city board of assessors.
In the period of his active life he was
generally known as "the mayor of Eos.
terville," the section of the city in which
he resided, and annual addresses, pur-
porting to give his views on local, state
and national issues, brought him consid-
cradle fame. He is survived by daugh-
ter, Mrs. William j. Sullivan OF this city,
and by two sisters, Mrs. Julia Gleason of
Providence, R. l., and Mrs. Margaret
Donnelly of Attleboro, Mass.

Then the trap was sprung.

AT the inquest the doctor said that
Easement was sane. His solicitor made
plea that the body be handed over to
relatives. He said that the authorities
had refused and that it was a monstrous
act of indeceney.
Honored with knighthood-a title since
taken from him by King Georges order
for his many years of service for Great
Britain as consul and consul general,
Roger Easement assumed leadership at
a period of his country's crisis in the
recent Irish rebellion, the plans for
which were laid while Easement was in
Berlin, where he was reported to have
negotiated an understanding with the
German imperial authorities.
British naval supremacy brought an
abortive close to Easements plans. The
German tramp steamship on which there
was transported an armed expedition
from Germany nearly to the west coast
of Ireland in April of this year was
blown up BY its own crew when the lat
ter foresaw that it was inevitable that
the blockading English warships would
capture it. The crew were made prison
ers. The tramp had been conveyed from
kiel by German submarine, from which
Easement and a companion landed on
Irish soil, where they were taken into
custody before their plans matured.
In May, Easement was given a prelim-
mary hearing and was committed for
trial on the charge Of high treason. Late
in June the trial was begun, Easement
pleading not guilty and uttering a denial
that he had worked in Germany's inter
L.
gold as a bTibe.
The courts verdict was guilty. and the
sentence Of death BY hanging was, after
appeal by his counsel, confirmed by the
court Of criminal appeal, late in July.
The London press generally approved
the fate legally fixed for easement, but
in America persistent efforts were made
70 save the noted prisoner from death. J

upon the pontif that the prisoner was
not traitor but was inspired by Irish
patriotism.
Roger Easement, prior to the war. es.
tablished a reputation through his in

natives by Belgian and British rubber
hunters. The then Sir Roger headed a

about reforms. In 1918 he became ae.
