land’s Treatment Found Guilty of ‘Phe conviction of Col. Arthur Lynch $m London on a charge of high treasun thas created a sensation throughout the world that grows more intense with the passage of the days. Despite the opt- mistic views of liberal-minded English- men and of fricnds of Col, Lynch there isn strong opinion that the full penalty of the law—lacking only the barbaric | features associated with its execution im olden times—will be inflicted. If it is not Col. Lynch will enjoy the distinction of being the only Englishman ever convicted on a charge of treason \ whose sentence was commuted. Irishmen and Irish sympathizers in the United States profess indignation at the result of the trial. Not concerning themselves with the strict justice of it based upon the ancient Iuw—they look more to the question of expediency. In this they are Joined by a great number of Americans, who hold that the day ts ') past when a man may be tried and ex- ecuted for treason. Many Other (Tratiors.” Hundreds of Irishmen fought against Wnxland in South Africa. English sub- “fects in Cane Colony enrolled under the Boer flax and fought with Boers, By the terms of the treaty of Pretoria ‘amnesty was extended to all of, these. ‘It appears that Col. Lynch was the only man not included in this exemptfon from prosecution for treason, Out of the thousands of traitors, as the defint- tion stands in iaw, who took part in the ‘Boer war, the only one called to book {was the Irish Member of Parliament from Galway.

Ac- cording to the judgment of the court the people of this section deliberately chose a traitor to repregent them. In English polltioal circles ft was not be- Neved, at the time of Col. Lynch's election, that {t was any more than what Amerioans would cal) a bluff But the people of Galway by calling Col, Lynch to take his seat made It pr eae that they were in earnest. complicates him case, for if the King extends amnesty to the prisoner he condones the offense of his re- bellious subjects, who chose a man who waa fighting against him as their rep- resentative in the law-making body of the British Empire, Up to King Edward. Whether or not the Icing, advised by his Ministers, will allow this to be buried when they come to consider the case of Col. Lynch, !s a question on which Irishmen and Englishmen are divided. A majority profess to believe that the King will take into considera tion the fact that If Col. Lynch ts exe- cuted he will be considered by his coun- trymen a martyr. But others point out that if Col. Lynch's sentence 1s com- muted and he Is eventually allowed his freedom he will at least be alive, and his Influence, extended from a foreign country, to which he could easily escape, would be tremendous. Kingdoms well as men take into consideration the fact that ‘dead men tell no tal The Irish political question in general {a a powerful factor in the conalderativg of the oase of Col. Lynch. No matter which way the Government inclines in {ts treatment of the convicted man, there will be a powerful effect in Ire-' land. ‘As it has been England's consistent polley to deal severely with Irian of- fenders against the Government, there {a & widespread belief that the sentence of the court will be confirmed and that Col. Arthur Lynch will be executed. A Hint by the Judge. Weve that England will not dare take uynch’s life, speaks in a tone of ap- prehension.

There has been no criminal case dur- {ng (he last ten years that haa excited 80 much comment among lawyers as that of Pletro Squassa, the cleven-year-old boy who hes been cunvicted before Judge Newburger in General Sessions of man- slainghter for killing three-year-old Am- oroso Kerrigan with a brick. Little Pletro is to be arraigned for sen- tence Tuesday morning, but Judge New- burger, owing to the interest shown in the case and the numerous letters he has received, will postpone action till a later date Theis are many lawyers who censure the Distriet-Attorney for placing young Squassa on trial for euch a crime, Sec- tlon 19 of the Penal Code provides that “a child of the uge of seven yeans, or under the age of twelve years, is pre- suméd to be Incapable of crime, but the presumption may be removed by proof that he had sufficient capacity to under- stand the act. or neglect charged against him, and to know its wrongfulness.” The Court of Appeals has held that a of felony can be established a child of eleven years only by the strongest and clearest proof of his capogity to entertain a criminal Intent. little Pietro is arraigned before Judge Neuburger uesday, Lewis Stuy- vesant Chanler, the boy's lawyer, will make a motion to set asido the verdict of the jury, on the ground that” As- sistant District-Attorney Rand, who prosecuted the case, failed to submit to the Jury any evidence whatever as to the child's capacity to entertain a crim- inal intent. Mr. Chanler, who is a millionaire and only practises criminal law for the good he can do, says that if Judge New- burger rules against him e will carry the case to the highest courts. “There is no doubt,’ Mr. Chanler sald to-day, “that the conyicllon was illegal, ‘be authorities all maintain that an infant should be interrogated concerning his ability to know what criminal Intent is or should be examined privately by ihe presiding judae eply interested in the outcome of the case and shall spare neither time nor expense to secure the ruling of the higher courts in the matter.” hat disposition to make of the littie prisoner is worrying Judge Newburger.
