NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNES DAY, JUNE 28, 1916. ASEMENT DENIES FOUR ACCUSATIONS Makes Emphatic Statement at End of Trial for Treason London, June 28, 10:10 Dramatic developments are cxpected at today's session of the trial of Sir Roger treason. Chief these is a statement in his own defense which Sir Roger is prepared to make from the dock. Francis P. Doyle, the Philadelphia attorney who is acting as solicitor for Casement, informed The Associated Press before the opening of court that ng witnesses would be called for the @efense but that the arguments of counsel would be supplemented by a statement from the prisoner. As was indicated yesterday, the main defense will rest on the argument of counsel for the quashing of the indictment on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. In reference to the decision of ‘asement’s counsel not to call any witnesses, Mr. Doyle said: ‘“Inasmuch as this trial affects not only the life of Sir Roger Casement but also the aspirations of the Irish nation, it has been deemed advisable mnot to call any witnesses in this jurisdiction.” YHe added that no witnesses were available in this country and that it would have been necessary to go to Germany for them, which the gov- ernment would not permit. Alexander Sullivan, chief for Casement, resumed his arzument when court convened today, in an attempt to show the indictment was faulty. After he had concluded his address the court overruled his mo- tion to quash the indictment. Sir Roger Talks. Mr. Sullivan’s motion was over- ruled by the court. He then an- pounced that the prisoner desired to hmake a statement. Sir Roger Casement’s statement vas delivered at the afternoon ses- kion. He spoke in a clear voice but t was plain he was laboring under great nervous strain. The prisoner eaned heavily on the rail of the Mock and his hand that held the pa- per shook as though palsied. He said: “I desire to say a few words only with reference to some allusions made by the prosecution. ~ “As to my pension and the honor of knighthood conferred upon me, I shall say one word onl The pension I'had earned by service rendered and it was arranged by law. The knight- hood it was not in my power to re- fuse. “But there are in special four mis- statements, given in the evidence against me, which I refute. First, I never at any time advised Irishmen to fight with the Turks.against the Rus- gians or to fight with the Germans on the western front. Second, I never asked an Irishman to fight for Ger- many. I have always claimed that he has no right to fight for any land but Ireland. Third, the horrible insinua- tlons that I got my own people's ra- tions reduced to the starvation point because they did not join the Irish brigade n abominable falsehood. The rations ‘were necessarily reduced throughout German owing to the bjockade, and they were reduced for the Irish prisoners at exactly the same time and to the exact extent the German soldiers and the entire population of Germany. The other suggestion that men were sent to pun- ishment camps at my instance for not *joining the Irish brigade is one that T need hardlw pause to refute. It is de- void of all foundation. “Fourth, gentlemen, there is the widespread imputation of ‘German gold.” I owe it to those in Ireland * who are assailed with me on this very ground to nail the lie once and for all.” a. m.— Casement for high among counsel Rejected Money Offers “Money was offered to me in Ger- many more than once, and offered lib- , erally and unconditionally, but I re- jected eve uggestion of the kind, and I left Germany a poorer man than when I entered it. Since the rising has been mentioned, however, I must ay categorically that the rebellion was not made in Germany, that it .was not directed from Germany, that it was not inspired from Germany and that not one penny of German gold went to finance or assist it.”” REPORT RAIDERS CAUGHT. Columbus, N. M., June 28.—Army officers are investigating a report that the murderers of William Parker and his wife on their ranch southwest of Hachita, were caught early today on this side of the border and killed.

Hurty and Charles Marcell, who left this city a year ago on a 10,000-mile canoe trip, may have perished in Lake Huron. Henry Clews & company, bankers, vesterday received a letter from the First National bank of Che- boygan, Mich., which told of the dis- covery of a gasoline can and paddles which had been in Hurty and Mar- cell’s canoe. The two men have not been heard from since June 10. A little more than a year ago James G. Hurty and ployees of Henry turned doctor’s orders into an attempt to circle by canoe the eastern half of the United States, their trip to cover 10,000 miles and take at least fifteen months. Mr. Hurty, long the secretary treasurer of the Cordage company of New York and after that branch manager and stock exchange member of Henry Clews, had developed eye- strain. He and Mr. Marcell were threatened with nervous exhaustion unless they abandoned Wall street life. They did so in a twenty-four foot canoe, non-capsizable, with a speci- ally built detachable motor, tentsand full outing equipment, and Pats terrier. They went up the Hudson, through the Erie canal to Lake Erie and reached Cheboygan, Mich. They wintered there. Canoe Seemed Wholly Safe. They intended this summer to go through the Detroit river, Lake St. Clair and the St Clair river to Lake Huron, then through the Saginaw canal into Lake Michigan, thence through the Iillinois river to the Mis- sissippi to the Gulf, through the Florida waterway and up the Atlan- tic coast When a reporter last summer asked Mr. Hurty if there was not danger in the proposed journey he poohhoohed the thought. But dan- ger came soon enough. Mr. Hurty | acknowledged in the July issue of Field and Stream. Of one of their first days on Lake Brie he wrote: “Furics of the Devil.” “No sooner had we headed west than from somewhere, somehow, heaven knows, all the furies of the devil broke loose and aimed at us Wind, rain and hail came in such tor- rents that the land was cut off from our view. Before we could set the hood over the motor it stalled. We rushed for the paddles, but soon found that, though working like de- mons, we were unable to point the canoe toward shore either bow or stern. The young tornado was mining us broadside, and in a few minutes waves were breaking into and com- pletely over the boat. “We were indeed helpless, but the boat kept her keel and there was nothing but to be driven ashore. It was lucky the wind was not blowing the other way.” It was perhaps in some similar mo- | ment of danger that the elements won over the men’s nerve and pre- paration. Mr. Hurty was forty-three and Mr. Marcell about the same age. Both were single. Mr, Hurt; brother George A. Hurty, said last night in his home at No. 142 Lawn avenue, Stamford, Conn., that he had not heard from his brother since shortly before the men left Cheboygan. MRS.

(Special to the Herald.) Camp Holcomb, Niantic, June 28.— Company E of New Britain entrained at the Niantic depot at 6:30 o'clock last night and left for the Mexican border. Company I, also of New Brit- ain, left a couple of hours later. At the last minute the attending surgeon of the First regiment put the members of Company E through a stringent physical test and several of the boys were disqualified for various defects, such as poor eyesight, de- fective hearing, bad teeth or some or- ganic ailment. As near as can be learned this evening, the following are the New Britain boys who were left behind: Privates Stuart Hellberg, Allen, Coe, Phelps, J. Smith and Dorman. Com- pany Cook William Squire was also the physician and was left behind. All of the boys who were not permitted to go were broken heart- ed when told of the doctor's report. Several of them wept openly as they adly parted with their comrades and they seemed just as sad that they were being left behind, as did the citi- zens of New Britain when the boys marched awa st Saturday. “Jimmy” BE. Austin, who rejoined his old company a few days before it started from the New Britain armory, was officially given his old rating as first sergeant before the troops left last night. He takes the place of Ser- mith, who now becomes first sergeant. Sergeant Austin has of vears of experience in army life and is rated as one of the best drill masters in the state.
