London, May 22.—At the opening of tod session of the royal com- mission’s inquiry into the Iri re- volt, Augustine Birrell, former chief secretary for I nd, was recalled as a witness, a difference of opinion hav- ing between himself and the war office ,as to what had happened during the conferences mentioned by the former chief secretary of Ireland in his evidence last week. Baron Charles Hardinge, a mem- ber of the commission, read a letter written by Major General MacReady, of the adjutant general’s staff, of the war department, at the request of Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, the secretary for war, in which General MacReady said that the conference of March 20, at which Mr. Birrell, ac- cording to his testimony, had asked for more troops to be sent to Ireland, had reference to the state of recruit- ing in Ireland and that the proposal was that troops should be sent to various parts of Ireland to encourage men to join the colors. “So far as we are aware,” said Gen- eral MacReady’s letter, “there was no question of sending troops for the purpose of overawing the Sinn Fein- er's.” h Sxpected Trouble in South. General Friend, the commander of the forces in Ireland, the letter con- tinued, had reported the possibility of trouble in south Ireland and suggest- ed that he would need more troops. As a result, arrangements were made for a reserve battalion to be sent to stimulate recruiting they would have been available in an emergency. Mr. Birrell, in reply, said he was surprised to hear that he had omit- ted to mention at the conference the necessity of sending troops to Dub- lin. He certainly had done so, he de- clared, in interviews with Generals French and Friend. Viscount Middleton described the action which he said he had taken to bring the activities of the Sinn Fein- ers to the attention of the Irish au- thorities before the outbreak. Laughs at Middleton’s Fears. Viscount Middleton stated that he had conferred with Mr. Birrell and had strongly urged that the national volunteers be disarmed. Mr. Birrell had said in effect, declared the witness that the movement was one to be laughed at, not one to be taken seri- ously. On February Mr. Birrell, con- tinued the witness, had written him a letter in which the following occurred: “To proclaim the Irish volunteers an illegal body and put them down by force would, in my opinion, be a reck- les foolish act and promote disloyal- ty to a prodigious extent. I am more alarmed at the possibility of bombs end isolated acts of violence than of concerted action.” Statement On Revolution. London, Ma; :36 statement giving full par the acts for which fifteen participants in the Irish rebellion had been e cuted was being prepared and would be presented shortly, Premier Asquith told a questioner in the house of com- mons today. The premier added, in reply to a further question, that he was anxious, because of misunderstanding in Amer- jca, on this subject that the state- ment should be present at the earliest possible moment. 29, 3 “NEW WINS SUIT.

To combat this testimony the state has engaged three medical experts and summoned witnesses who knew defendant at different periods of his career. The defense has summoned one alienist.
