SIR ROGER’S TRIAL OPENED IN LONDON (Continued From First Page.) and it is believed that this statement will considerably shorten the hearing before the maglistrate. The police court hearing is merely a preliminary to the trial, which will take place la- ter before a panel of the judges of the high court of justice. Attorney General Sir Frederick Smith, A. H. Bodkin and Travers Humphreys appeared for the prosecu- tion and Prof. J. H. Morgan and Ar temus Jones for the defendants. Sir John Dickinson presided. Shortly after the magistratza had taken his place, Casement and his fel- low prisoner were shown into the dock. Casement’'s appearance was vastly different from that of the man who gained fams in 1912 by his ex- rosure of the cruelties practiced on natives in Putumayo by a British rub- ber company. He sat in the dock, resting his chin on his hand and occa; sionally looking towards the magis- irates. ‘When the attorney general, in opening the case for the prosecution mentioned the conferring of the or- der of Knighthood on Casement, the prisoner dropped his head. 'he at- torney general then outlined the pri oner’s career. Campaign in Germany Allezed. The attorney general charged that Casement had conducted a systematic campaign among the Irish prisoners in Germany with the:purpose wf se- ducing them from their allegiance. Bailey, he said, had been seduced in this manner and had made a state- ment explaining Casement’s actions in detail. According to the attorney general, Bailey was born in Dublin and joined the Royal Irish Rifles in 1904. He served with his regiment in India and was honorably discharged. Cn the outbreak of the European war Bailey was called out as a reservist and sailed with the original expeditionary force to France. He was taken prisoner in September, 1914. The attorney general said that Bafl- ey had detailed how a large number of Irish prisoners had been collected from various prisons in Germany and placed in a large camp at Limburg. Here they heard addresses by Case- ment, who tried to inflame their minds against the British government and persuade them to break their oaths of allegiance and’ support him in his projected expedition to Irelaad.

The attorney general said Casement described himself as the © the Irish volunteers and imy on the Irish pri in Germany that everything was to be gained for Ireland by Germany’s winning the war. Those prisoners who joined a brigade he was attempting to form were promised by Casement, the at- torney general asserted, that they would be sent to Berlin as guests of the German government.

Rebel Flag Introdu The attorney general duced a dramatic touch into the court a gresn rebel flag, which he said Casement had brought from Germany to Ireland. For a moment the prisoner sat with eves fixed on the floor, refusing to look «t this emblem of the rebellion. Then he glanced up at the flag and smiled de- risively. Most of the time during the attorney general's address he with his elbow on his knee, stroking his beard—a characteristic pose of tI prisoner ever since his incarceration in the Tower of London.

In his of the manrer which set about to r an Trish brigade among the prisoners in rmany to fight against Fngland, the attorney general said the prisoner had met with little success, Such men as he won over were set free, provided with green uniforms and re- ceived rewards. ‘When the attorney general declared that one of the Trish prisoners had struck Casement in the face on heing asked to join the brigade Casement smiled disdainfully and pulled at his beard in evident amusement. lailey was one of the pris duced by Casement the atterney gen- by Casement in ! eral said, and was made an officer of the hrigade.
