Casement Trial Fails to Stir Public Support Says German Officer
London July 8. A German officer describes British public opinion after Casement’s trial and possible execution. He argues treason is an exalted virtue if it advances Irish rebellion, while claiming Casement’s trial was fair and that reprieve would inflame Ireland against Britain. He cites Bishop George Bernard Shaw’s views and contends Casement’s fate hinges on government clemency rather than justice.
