noon and burned on the public square The burning came immediately after the negro's- trial had ended and after the jury had returned a verdict of guilty giving him the death penalty Someone not far from the negro started the cry of "get the negro" It was taken up by all of those from that rart of the county from where Mrs t-ryar was killed and Washington was then seized and removed from the court room The crowd at first seemed 1vil1ing to hang tbe negro from the suspension bridge but a suEgeston that be be burned on the plaza met with instant response and bt' was drag--ed to the city hall yard where the chain already around his neck was thrown over the limb of-a tree wood hastily secured and the fire started' When the flames had subsided a number in the crowd cut off the negro's fire blistered fingers and other parts of his body -1 After the verdict had been returned the negro said in a half audible whisper "rm sorry I dine it" No demonstration was made until after the jury's verdict bad been received and prepatations were being made to remove the prisoner to the jail The rush came with such suddenness that officers lawyers 'and newspaper men were swept off their feet and the negro secured before any could stop the proceedings While the crowd that took Washington from the court room is said to have been composed of people from the country they were joined by many

of the Putumayo rub- ber atrocities Monday faced the bar in an ordinary police court for a preliminary examination to determine whether he should be held for trial on the charge of high treason against the same government in connection with the rebellion in Irelaud Beside Casement stood Daniel Julian Eailey who facen a similar charge Not in many years has so muct popular interest been manifested in a case before the courts This is due not- only to the prominence of Casementand to speculation as to his'ultimate fate but also because it has been expected evidence would be produced which would lay bare a widespread plot resulting in the revolt Long before the hour set for the hearing crowds began to gather outside the Bow-street court-Admission to the little court room was restricted to about 100 persons including rep- resentatives of the press Handsomely Gowned Women-Preseift: Among the earliest arrivals in the court was Sir Horace Plunkett of tne department of aerieulturein Ireland He took a seat near- the magistrate It was understood Sir Horace was merely a spectator A numbar of relatives and friends of Casement including seven handsomely gowned women were provided with seats well to the front The stage was all set when the principal was led into the court1 There was a hush of expectancy as he 1 entered the room and every face was I turned in his direction Sir Roger I maintained much of his characteristic 1 complaisance He smiled and nodded as he saw friends in the court room With Sir Roger was Daniel Bailey an Irish soldier captured by the Germans early in the war He went from Germany to Ireland in the submarine with Sir Roger' and was taken prison- 4 er at Tralee Casempt Shows Nervous Strain As the examination proceeded Sir Roger showed in his movements some slight indications of the nervous strain under which he was laboring He paid strict attention to the pro- I ceedings however and occasionally I lt took notes which he handed to his 11 counsel Sir John Dickenson presided Short- ly after the magistrate had taken his i seat Casement and his fellow prison- I er were shown into the dock Case- 1 metals appearance was vastly differ- 1 lent from that of the man who gained 'fame in 1912 by his exposure of the cruelties practiced on natives in Putu- i mayo by a British rubber company When the attorney general in opening the case for the prosecution men- tioned the conferring of the order of Knighthood on Casement the prisoner dropped bis head The attorney gen- I era then outlined the prisoner's era-II reer II Attorney General Sir Frederick Smith A Bodkin and Travers Humphreys appeared for the prosecu- tion and Prof Morgan and Ar- temus Jones for the defendants I Organizer of Irish Volunteers The attorney general said Casement described himself as the organizer of the Irish Volunteers and impressed upon the Irish prisoners in Germany that everything ELS to be gained for 1 Ireland by Germany winning the war I Those prisoners who joined a brigade he was attempting to form were promised by Casement the attorney general asserted that they would be sent to Berlin as guests of the Ger- I man government In the event that Germany won a sea battle he would land the brigade in Ireland to defend that country against England and if Germany lost the war the German government would give each man PIO to F20 and free passage to America -This is the plan conceived in 1915-' said the attorney general "by the man 1 who in 1911 was begging Sir Edward Gray to convey his deep appreciation to the King of the Honor of Knighthood which had just been conferred on him" Prisoner Smiles to Companion When the speaker added that Case- I ment's offer was treated with con- I 1 i Marathon Texas May expedition in search of

British have been attacking the German lines near Istblulluch in northern France in an effort to recapture the trenches recently taken by the Germans there but their attempts have been repulsed according to Mondays statement by the German war office In the Verdun region the French failed in attacks near Deadman's Hill and near the Caillette wood Sharper fighting is now in progress in other sectors of the western front than in the Verdun region upon which attention has been chiefly centered for nearly three months Notable activity has been reported recently along the British lines in northern France nnd Flanders and Paris records brisk action by the artillery on both sides in the Champagne At Verdun the play of the heavy guns is being kept up to some extent there having been bombardments in the sectors of the Avocourt Wood and Hill 304 northwest of the fortress cording to-reports received here Monday A message has been sent to General Funston by Colonel Sibley commanding the fourteenth cavalry it was learned here asking for aid Military observers here point out that Major Langhorne and his flying squadron of the eighth cavalry are now perhaps 200 miles beyond their

States by Great Britain A note to be sent forward in the near future will take the position that the United States can no longer countenance seizure and detention of mails to and from the United States particularly those conperning neutrals The reply recently received from Great Britain to the last American note protesting against interference with American mails is considered unsatisfactory Protests have been made to the government by many individuals and firms who have been injured by the frequent long delays to which mails between Europe and the United States have been subjected The subject is under detained study at the state department and President Wilson had decided to make representations to Great Britain as quickly as a note can be The British government will be informed that the -United States considers it imperative that her present policy be modified PLEASANT'S INAUGURAL MESSAGE DIRECTS ATTENTION TO ACCOMPLISHMENTS SOUGHT A Sunday ot Assassins New Orleans May

Having been called to the high of f'ce of governor by the people of th's commonwealth I approach the duties and responsibilities of that poEition with the prayer that Providence may be my guide and that I may be sustained by the good will and hearty cooperation of all Louisianians We have before us many problems that need consideration and solution and I trust that the legislature the officers of the state and all other Citizens will contribute every effort possible toward a proper consideration of these questions during this administration so that the work of our term may be thorough and complete Rest From Factionalism Needed In my humble judgment what the people of Louisiana wish and what they ought to demand is a period of rest and period free from political acrimony partisan wrangling and factional discord And to far as it may lie in my power I shall earnestly seek to accomplish that end It may be stated safely that an overwhelming majority of the office-holding class is upright and is anxious and ambitious to fulfill faithfully the high amoiLious 10 twill' taitnruay 111E trust confided in them by their neigh- hors and friends and to execute the will of the poople A vast majority or the officers elected Just a month age will do all in their power I am sure to give to our people an honest and progresive administration What I have to say today fellow-citizens will be directed to the main body of the people of the and not to the general assembly I shall not go into a detailed discussion of the legislative measurps at this time but shall convey through special message from time to time any views or suggestions to the legislature which may have to offer along lines that In my opinion may redound to tho welfare of the state and to the betterment of her people The law-making power is vested solely in the house and senate acting conjointly The ultimate responsibility for the enactment of all laws tests with the general as-- sembiy The governor may auggeet and may veto but his authority endeA there While it is true that his poweri and authority are thus limited yet I4 deem it the duty of the executive eart1-1 estly and faithfully to advise counser
