2 THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAS. PORTLAND, MAY 7, 1916. JAIR TRIALS GIVEN REBELS 111 IRELAND System of Charge, Evidence, Trial and Sentence Marked by Deliberation. FULL DEFENSE PERMITTED In Event Death Penalty Is Ordered, Sentence Is Executed on Follow ins Morning Eirst Volley Always Troves Fatal. DCBVI". May 5, via London, May 6. Justice is being dealt out to the Sinn Feiners on the pure facts proved by in contestable testimony regarding their active . participation in the recent re bellion. Suspicion is not enough for a courtmartia! to condemn any man. and vengeance for the killing of soldiers or the destruction of property does not enter the minds of the military Judges. There is no "dragooning to death' of the rebels. The Associated Press today obtained first-hand information! of the entire system of charge, evidence, trial and sentence in the cases of the men cap tured during the fighting or who sur rendered after the collapse of the ris ing. As soon as a rebel falls into the hands of the authorities his identity is established and the evidence is re corded of the circumstance in which he is taken. The reports of officers and .soldiers concerned in the capture are written down. The prisoner is placed in confinement. Then a preliminary itwiuiry is held, and lawyers draw up the charge. Field Courtmartlal Sita. . The next process is the formation of a field general courtmartial. of which three are sitting to dispose of cases rapidly. Each court is composed of three superior army officers. Only one of the nine 3udges participated in the suppression of the rebellion, so it can not be alleged that the officers act ing as judges will bring prejudice to bear arising from their personal feel ings. Before the prisoner is brought before the court the charge against him is read in full in order that the accused man may prepare to defend himself when facing the judges. He has no legal defender, but should he desire to call wltneses the court immeUiately calls them to testify in complete free dom. 1 The court sita in a barrack-room, un surrounded by the wigs, gowns or cere monlal of the usual civil courts. The first proceeding is the reading o the charge. Then comes testimony for the prosecution, after which the pris oner pleads in defense if he wishes, or admits his guilt. Final Judgment Speedv. The judges then consider the fact and deliver judgment. Should sentenc on a rebel be the supreme penalty of death, as has been the case in several instances, the prisoner is asked whether there are any relatives or friends he would like to see. If so, they imme diately are brought to hie place of con finement. Ho also is permitted to hay( the services of a clergyman,1 who re mains with him until just before the (sentence Is carried out. Meanwhile the Judgment is laid be fore Sir John Maxwell, the commander-in-chief of Ireland, for confirmation. General Maxwell is humane, but he has a strong will combinad with a judicial mind and strict sense of duty to his country. He never has failed to peruse the evidence himself before putting the final seal on a 6entence, but then he decides quickly. He is inclined to len iency where the facts permit him to exercise it. as i3 shown in several in stances since the trials of the rebels began. The confirmed judgment is promul gated by an army officer and the fol lowing morning the condemned -pris oner is shot. The execution is carried out in the same way as in the field. me prisoner Is Blindfolded and placed in front of a firing squad, whose first volley is always ratal.

Sir Roger Casement, Irish agitator and leader of the Separatist party, who was captured from a German auxiliary which attempted to land arms in Ireland and which was sunk, has had a remarkable career. He had risen from the ranks 1n the British diplomatic service. He had been Consul at various time at Lorenzo Marques, In the Congo Free State; at Para. Peru, and had been Consul-General at Rio Janeiro. He was created knight In 1911. He accomplished wonderful work in suppressing atrocities in the Congo Free State and in the Putomayo district in Peru. At the risk of his life he ef fectually ended the brutal practice of scflurging the natives employed In the rubber trade, and for this received the commendation of the civilized world. Soon after the war he returned to Ireland and declared himself in opposition to the war and was next heard from as having been received by the German Foreign Office. The British government put a price on his head and Sir Roger accused the British Ambassador to Norway with having conspired with his valet to seize him and send h im to England.

Man X'nder .Arrest In Tacoina Says He Only Preyed on Wealthy and Did so to Provide His Two Children With Luxuries. Rains of Yesterday Said to Have Only Added to Comfort by Laying Dust. HOOD RIVER. Dr.. May 6. (Special.) At no time in the history of Hood River, perhaps, have weather conditions j so affected the moods of residents of the apple valley as today. With , a etronfr west wind driving thin sheets of rain early this morning, the pros pects for a celebration of official Blos som day tomorrow seemed far removed. As the day advanced, however, the skies cleared of the dense cloud banks, and with the appearance of sunshine the spirits of Hood River citizens bright ened, and it now looks as if the showers of last night and this morning will make the tour of valley roads more pleasant, as the dust has been settled. If the rains are of longer duration the apple crop may be affected. Grow ers, however, are of the opinion that no damage has been done so far. The rains that have prevailed be tween here and Portland may make a motor Journey over the Columbia High way difficult Scores of visitors have already ar rived to see the blossoms. If the weather is suitable the valley roads will be lined tomorrow with automo biles. CHARLES E. HARDIN DEAD Surveyor for Gilliam County Suc cumbs to Tuberculosis. TACOMA, Wash.. May 6. (Special.) J. A. Young, upon his return from San Bernardino, Cal., admitted to police officials here today that he swindled P. I. Fransioli, of this city. out of $2500 and that he took even larger sums from other Pacific Coast grain dealers. one Portland firm loslne 5600 throuerh his game, it is said. Young defended himself by saying that he only preyed on the wealthy and never took a cent from a person who needed it. Young confided that he had "been Mayor and postmaster of a Utah town and when he met with business reverses he started out on his career of getting easy money. His boy and girl had become accustomed to luxuries, he xaid. and he could not bear to cut them off from the things they loved and an education. They are attending hich school at present In fcan Diego. The prisoner s modus operanai ac cording to ills alleged confession to officers, borne out by nis own state ment. is that he procured C. O. D, shipment on grain or hay from a pros perous and well-known farmer or rancher and tnen wouia go to xne destination of the shipment and repre sent himself as owner, showing i fnrsred bill of lading, according to the police. He would gain a standing through familiar use of the rancher's name and would be paid an advance or total on the shipment, tnen in tne vards. or rolling toward its destination and would depart before protest came from the owner.
