During the last six months, or so
I have received many communications
from America, and even from friends
In Ireland, earnestly InqulrlnR as to tho
progress of the formation of the "Irish
brigade In tiermany.
For two weeks, every attenmt on my
part to obtain all Interview with Mr.
Casement fulled. Sometimes I could Jiot
locate him I won always told that
nc was visiting thl or thnt prison
camp and at other times when I had
succeeded In locating hint at his hotel
my card wan returned to me with the
stutcment that Mr. Casement was In
dlfrposed. At last by good fortune I succeeded
In buying the asHlRiiment pass of a cor
respondent who wns attached to ;i non
radical Herlln newspaper.
Mr. lavement had an engagement to
address the llrltlsh prisoners held at
the Ituhlcben camp near Berlin. I
learned that everything was arranged
In the camp for his address on the "In
iquities of the llrltlsh Foreign Policies."
I wan with eight other newspaper
correspondents when wo arrived In tho
Ruhleben camp grounds nearly two
hours! earlier than Mr. Caaemwit's an
tlclvatcd visit.

When tho time approached for Mr
C.iscment'B address 1 could not help
mjself noticing that several men who
spoke the Kngllsh of Kngland were
active going about and urging on the
various croups of prisoners to attend
the meeting "In force." I suspected
homethliiR was about to happen, t
could not believe that these men were
capable of becomliiR traitors to their
country In such a wholesale fashion as
they pretended.
Next we mw Mr. Cafrement coming
toward the entrance of the huse shrjl.
He was surrounded by a Rroitp of men.
only two of whom were In uniform
In the groii accompanying Mr. Case
ment were four men who were recog
nized by our correspondents : three of
them were American citizens of licr.
man birth
Cut f the entire habitants of the
Ituhleb'ti camp nearly 4,000 prisoners
had gatlieted ItHdc the shrd. They were
men of all clinics, colors, shades, slze.s
and mental calibre.
Mr. Casement hail s'oken about live
minutes and the crowd of prisoner, had
listened to him In tense s-Ih-nce when
suddenly i Wet Indian colored soldier
cried int with a shrill voice that Mr.
Casement was "a cheap traitor."
"( heap Traitor!" Vrll oldler.
Other about him took up the cry anil
in another Instant there was a confusion
0f loud voices and strong remark-
llunng the next thiee or four minutes
not one word of Mr Casement s utter
ances could be Mcatd The men of his
rty were appealing for a liearliw, whll
the otticer accompanying the jiaity was
elltng loud commands , but it waa nil
Useless.
I saw distlnctlv a young prioner'wlio
looked like a Sepoy Indian let so a
mud ball, undoubtedly aimed at Mr.
Casement' head. It mlsed him hy the
width of foMr or live heads and struck
the unsuspecting otllccr near by on the
boulder.
No doubt the visitors were thoroughly
convinced that they were facile? a hostile
audience. They turned toward the en
trance, but to their misfortune they
found tliemseho at some distance from
It. During the commotion thy had been

In the meantime Mr. Casement had
already made his escape, followed every
now and then with mud balls. Unfor
tutiately the visit of Mr. Casement
brought forth no reel tilts for the Irish
brigade. So doubt Mr. Casement and
his friends were convinced that this
would be their lnflt visit to the I'.uhteben
war prisoners' camp.
As tho Casement party neared the
boiler house building It became apparent
that tho road leading to It through the
swamps was blocked with an nngry
mob, yelling and cursltiR. There was
another road, a broad road, lending to
the sick room, which alo ran through
tho swiimpH and crosscl five or six
drainage trenched.
My companions had never been outside
of tiermany and naturally knew very
little about other peoples. They were
all educated men, and to they did not
even know the "human nature" of our
own common people.
They had forgotten that these prlsoli-
ers wero being guarded by our Land
Sturm and that these men were not
professional soldier. The guard had
already formed strong friendships with
their prisoners and many of the olllcers
had long ago fraternized with their
prisoners.
They were not aware of the fact that
thin kooiI fellowship between the sol
diers and their prisoners had been re
garded such a utrong menare that these
guards were being constantly shifted
from one prison camp to another. Itut
even this had changed the situation for
the worse agalns't the prisoners.
Ileailfnll for Casement.
Just a I had suspected ! Right In
tho middle of the road leading toward
the sick houe Mr CaBenient and hl
party not all of It fell Into a trap dug
by the Sierra I.eone men. They had dug
a trench across the road about six feet
wide and ooiered It with poles which
they had stolen from the uh house.
Over these they bail spread old news
papers. Then they Iprlnkled dirt over
the papers.
The men who were walking nearCase.
nient Innocently walked Into this trap,
and In another ItWant the atmosphere
was thick with the satisfaction of the
llrltlsh prisoners, expressed In loud and
throat piercing yells.
Mr. Casement and five of his party
were In that trap clown to their waists.
They were Immediately extricated from
this humiliating position. I was told
afterward tint eery one of the olllcers
accompanying the Casement pcrty took
the Incident sportively and joked about It.
We were also told that this "trapping"
was a recognized diversion of the camp,
and that even the dignified commander
or the camp was not immune, Once he
ha 1 become Indignant and demanded to
know the guilty ones, and after laborious
and rigid investigation It was discovered
that It was the little medical otticer who
was at Hie bottom of the offence
The lsit of the Casement party to
the camp grounds, ended In twenty min
utes, and not one leertut followed them
In short, from subsequent investiga
tions and detailed Inquiries. I have po-l-tlvely
learned that the so-called "Irish

FAY TRIES TO BE
HIS OWN LAWYER
Minn l Plotter Causes Dramatic,
Scene in .Tudfifc Howe's
Court, Hoom.
QUESTIONS A WITNESS
Ilobert Fay. wearer of the lion Cross
and former Lieutenant In the Oerman
army, who Is on trial on the rhargo of
plotting to tie expiosivc mines to the
rudder posts of munition bearing ships.
Jumped up suddenly In the Federal
Court yesterday afternoon and asked
Judge Howe, presiding over the trial,
to permit him to carry on his own de
fence. Fay's dramatic projection of himself
came swiftly. The defendant nppat
ently was displeased with the planner In
which Henry V, Cnger, his counsel, was
conducting the cross-examination of
IMunrdo llrekkc r, n reporter on a morn
ing newspaper, who had testllled con
cerning an Interview which his news
paper had with Fay last November. Fay
wanted tn do the questioning himself.
It hail been apparent in observers In
the court room, where Fay, Walter SchoU,
his brotacr-lii-lavv, and raul Daeche
are on trial, that Fay was ills
pleased over somrtlilng. Ill- face had :i
moody look; his sharp gray e.ves often
gazed Into space and Ins spreading
nlll!,'tache
had Hssunied a gloomy
droop. Ills attitude was In sharp con
trast to the appearance of his codefen
dams.

Fay was lttltu calmly in hi" 'hair
while llrekkcr was testifying. He be
came restless, however, when I 'tiger
asked the opinion of llrekkcr as tn
whether Fay seemed ratWnal, Mr. I'n
ger was continuing this line of cross
examination when Fay Jutiid to his
feet and, stepping forwatd, -aid:
"Your Honor, I move that I handle my
own case. After this time there are
Important facts ot which my countel ilis
not know at all, so ho Is not In a posl.
Hon to defend me."
"Sit down," ordered .Mr. Fnger, tugging
at the Lieutenant's sleeve.
"No." answered Fay with a tos of his
head, "I am talking now," Turning to
the Judge, he continued: "1 want to ask
the witness a few questions"
Judge llnwe. alwajs calm and soft
spoken, was surprised, He glanced
I sharply at the defendant and said'
