At the back of the prison a little distance from the jeering crowd about the gates was a group of about thirty Irish men and women.

On June 29 he wa registered as a member of the Roman Catholic church and since that time Fathers McCarrell and Carey of Eden Grove church, near the prison, have been ministering to him. He received his first and only communion at 7 o'clock this morning when he assisted at mass in his cell. One of his attendant said that his land was most striking. According to this attendant, the last word of the condemned man, apart from hi prayer, were: "I die for my coun try.

The best thing for steady use I Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust dirt dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright lustrous, fluf fy and easy to manage.

Petition for mercy poured in upon the British govern ment and efforts were made to ob tain action by President Wilson. Re peated attempt to pass a resolution through the United State senate re questing the president to urge Great Britain to extend mercy failed. This agitation was finally ended on July 27, when the senate committee on foreign relations ordered an adverse report on all resolutions proposing in tercession by the United States gov ernment. The pnly action taken Washington was the passage of a res. olution by the senate asking the presi dent to use his good offices with the British officials to obtain clemency for Irish political offenders in gen eral. Many prominent men, both here and in Great Britain, interested them selves in Casement's behalf. Including George Bernard Shaw and the Irish poet, William Butler Yeats. The hopes of the condemned man's friends were extinguished when Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war. announced on Wednesday that the British govern ment was determined not to grant a repruve. Lord Cecil declared that Casement Wa much more "malignant and hostile" to Great Britain than were the leaders who took an actual part in the Sinn Fein revolt and that there wa no ground which could be brought forward in mitigation of his offenses. !, .
