REPORTED CASEMENT CONFESSED
More Russian Troops Reach France For Service
CASEMENT MAKES STATEMENT
BUT WONT TURN INFORMER
LONDON, April 28.—It is ad
mitted that Sir Roger Casement now
held in the Tower has made a par
tial confession of his activities, but
has refused to reveal the name of
any resident co-conspirators in Ire
land. Casement says that he will
die with whatever he knows locked
in his breast if that knowledge
would be of any use to the British
in convicting his brother Irishmen
leading the revolt.
LONDON, April 28.—Practically
general throughout the English
press are the demands for the early
execution of Sir Roger Casement.
The papers take the view that the
man was caught in arms against
the government, has no extenuating
circumstance to offer, and should be
treated with scant ceremony and
suffer no vexatious legal procedure
in the matter of his trial and prompt
execution.
LONDON, April 28.—Casement's
arrest, it is fully realized, has been
the one thing that promptly weak
ened the Irish revolt and has un
nerved hundreds who otherwise
might have taken part in the fight
ing. For this reason Casement alive
is a better object lesson than Case
ment dead, and the Ministry betrays
no undue desire to press his case to
a prompt conclusion.
Casement is denied any visitor *
except such counsel as he wishes to
employ. It is stated his evening that
he will be tried by civil procedure
and not by court martial. This is
however not final.
