CASEMENT MAY FACE
Possibility That Irish Leader May Be Beheaded Under Old Law— Dublin Eiots duelled.
LONDON, April 26.—Sir Roger Casement, leader of the separatis faction in Ireland, who was captured while attempting to land arms from Germany on the Irish coast, was conveyed across .Ireland Saturday by a strong armed escort who knew the prisoner only by two initials. He arrived in London without incident and immediately was lodged in the Metropolitan prison.
The fact that Sir Roger has been brought to England to stand trial and 1B detained in military custody leads to the assumption that he will be tried on th® charge of high, treason.
This charge has been preferred less than half a dozen times In England in the last hundred years. The last instance was during the Boer war, reriultinff in the conviction of Arthur Lynch in 1903, Mr. Lynch, who is now a member of the house of commons, was sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted and a year later a pardon was granted.
The Express suggests the possibility that Sir Roger, if convicted of high treason, may be beheaded, as under the existing law a. person found guilty of this offense may, by crown" warrant, be given the penalty of beheading instead of hanging.^
