THE SINN FEIN RISING-

THE CASEMENT CASE.

A TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY.

MR. BIRRELL'S ADMISSIONS. EVIDENCE GIVEN AT THE POLICE SHEFFIELD MERCHANT SENT TO

Giving evidence before the Commission of Inquiry into the causes of the outbreak of the Irish rebellion, Mr. Augustine Birrell, late Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that he did not desire to add to or modify Sir Matthew Nathan's 'slate- ment. Ele read his own statement, re- marking upon the folly of Binn Feinism, which had led many brave fellows to their doom in the belief that any revolution

was better than none.

· If at the outsel of the war Home Rule hnd not bear placed upon the Statute Book, Mr. Birrell maintained, there would have been a revolt. He contended that the gun running, the Iargo Orange Covenant and provisional Government, with all the pomp and circumstance of rebellion, had produced a prejudicial effect upon disloyalists elsewhere. There was a spirit abroad that what others were allowed to do they could do. In Ireland, through Mr. Redmond's patriotian, they had preserved during war time an un- broken front, but many did not agree with Mr. Redmond's attitude. GERMAN ARDISTANCE ÅT THE BOTTOM OF THE

It was impossible, proceeded Mr. Birrell, to over-estimate the effect Sir Edward Carson's entering the Cabinet had pro duced upon the minds of the people. Had Mr. Redmond entered the Cabinet he would not have remained lender of the

At Bow Street Police Court on May 17th and 18th, Sir John Dickinson, the Magistrate, continued the hearing of evidence in the charges of high treason against Sir Roger Casement and Daniel Bailey, an Irish soldier.

"I did not attach much importance his opinion on that matter," said Mr. Birrefl, because I was quite sure that they were dangerous. Mr. Dillon also strongly favoured non-intervention. We had daily reports from the constabulary in all parts, enabling us to forin a correct opinion.

"I always felt ignorant and nervous of what was occurring in the cellars of Dublin, continued the witness. "To- wards the middle of April I heard that the Castle way to be attacked.. I had con- ferred with Lord Kitchener and Lord French on March 20th and 27th, urging them to send more soldiers to Dublin, believing that if they were paraded with bands and bayonets it would have a great effect. The War Office replied that it was busy training men who could not be spared. But, if trouble arose, it could trov troops from Liverpool quickly. Lord Wimborne's view was as strong as mine, and it was submitted to the military authorities.

THE COUNT ASTONISHED.

Hearn, a member of the Irish Con- stubulary, said he took the boat, together with pistols and ammunition, from the previous witnesses. He found Casement, who gave him, the name of Morton, and said he was the author of The Life of Saint Bredan,”

Dempsey, an Admiralty diver, stated that he examined the steamer Aude, sunk off the Irish coast. She was lying in 18 fathoing. He found rifles and am- munition in the sea hed abreast of the hold.

The discovery of Casement's code was due to the alertness of Arthur Collins, aged 13, who gave evidence that he was driving a trap near Ardfert when he met tivo policemen with Casement. The police asked Colling to drive them to Ardfert. Collins m Carpment drop the code, and drove back from Ardfert and recovered it.
