that Intent was not expressed in tho

O'LEARY IN TEARS AS
HEEXAMINES UNCLE
Shows His Hatred of England
Repeatedly When Con-
Quoting Defence.

jeremiah A. OLeary's hatred of
England was displayed on moro than
one occasion yesterday at his trial before
Federal Judge Augustus y. Hand on
an indictment alleging violation of the
espionage law. The defendant conducted
most of his own case ard broke into
tears once when examining John D. Sin
gleton. an uncle. whose two sons are
overseas with tho American Expedition
airy Forces.
OLeary had the witness admit that
his two cousins received their rudi-
mentary military training from him
when he was a member OF the old Sixty
ninth Regiment. Further along in his
examination O'Leary sought to show
that his uncle. like himself. had inherited
a hatred Of Great Britain. When the
government objected OLeary exclaimed {:
"Englands tyranny drove our ances-
tors out of Ireland. And II this is a
free country / have the right to express
my opinion OF England and not be
gagged by the Department of Justice"
When Mrs Rose Lennon. another wit
ness who was a helper in the Irish ba-
zaar, about which much testimony in
the case has centred, O'Leary asked the
witness II she ever saw the statue Of
Nathan Hale in City Hall Park Judge
Hand interposed to say that he could
not allow the question and O'Leary re-
torted with:
III one can't have free speech about
England they better take that statue
down"
In cross-examination OF Miss Mary +.

w osborne, I'd. sought to show that the
classification Of the names OF the con-
tributors to the Irish bazaar, In which
work the witness assisted, was made
more for political purposes than other
wise.
The witness said that under !nstruc-
tions she and her associates wrote the
names and addresses of contributors on
cards and that afterward they were
classified according to the addresses
Mr.. Osborne wanted to know II a more
convenient classification would not have
been IN alphabetical order, but the wit
ness said that she only did as she was
instructed.
The witness said that II did not occur
70 her that the classification might have
been for political purposes and to ia
cilitate a personal call upon contributors.

OFFICER CONVICTED,
DANIELS ADMITS
Secretary Says Inquiry Will
Be Pushed to End.
Special Despatch TO THE sUS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-Secretary
Daniels admitted to-day that he has
known all about the scandal in the Third
Naval district, but has been keeping the
news suppressed.
According to Mr.. Daniels's statement
to-day Lieut. Benjamin S. Davis, from
Plymouth, Pa. Ensign Paul Beck OF New
York and an unnamed Reserve Lieuten-
ant, with other naval officers and en-
listed men, may have been parties to a
conspiracy to obtain money by selling
promotion, safe assignments on shore
and early discharges
Mr.. Daniels disclosed some OF the facts
after explanation that Il preliminary re-
port had reached him from Major J. f.
Muir OF the Judge Advocate Generals
office. The Secretary said first that he
had made nothing public because he did
not wish names to be given out until the
cases had come before court-martiaL
Later he admitted that Lieut. Davis al
ready has been convicted,
''Now Lieut.. Davis is held In arrest
with ten additional charges against
him." Mr.. Daniels said. HE received
$500 from one individual and 5000 from
another. Three other officers are known
to have received $1,000. $500 and $500.
1T was on the strength of the evidence
in Lieut.. Davss case, Mr.. Daniels con-
tinued, land the investigation which fol-
lowed that I issued orders not to make
further transfers or discharges from the
Third district without the specific APP
prevail OF Major Muir. II the record o.:
an officer or man seeking discharge is
found to be clear he will not be held in
the district"
Chief Boatswain's Mate Casey was
mentioned by Mr.. Daniels as being
charged with having received gifts and
money in connection with certain assign
ments of duty. Mr.. Daniels said the in
vestigation of the whole scandal would
be pushed unsparingly.

A Jury in the United States District
Court gave verdict, yesterday that
Scott Nearing. former instructor at the
University of Pennsylvania committed
no crime when he wrote n pamphlet at
lacking the war programme called "The
Great Madness: a Victory for the Amer
lean Plutocracy." but that the American
Socialist Society when IT printed and
circulated tho pamphlet violated the
espionage law. The society Is liable to
a maximum fine of $4,000.
The society was convicted upon two
counts. Judge julius NJ. Mayer set
aside the verdict on one OF these counts
as being against the weight of evidence
The jury was out for twenty EIGHT
hours. An hour earlier the jury asked
the court for instructions as to the YER
diets that might be reached where there
were two defendants accused in both of
the counts. The court instructed that
the jury might consider the case of each
defendant separately on each count.
The request of the jury was accepted
by the large number of sympathizers
with the defendants as forecasting I'M
pleasant possibilities. The long delibera-
lions OF the jury had given the impress
sion that disagreement was inevitable.

found Nearing not guilty and the Amer

ants, made n motion for new trial for
