 Times Report on Casement
All the circumstances in the case of Roger Casement were carefully and repeatedly considered by the Government before the decision was reached not to interfere with the sentence of the law.
The suggestion that Casement left Germany for the purpose of trying to stop the Irish rising was not raised at the trial, and is conclusively disproved not only by the facts there disclosed, but by further evidence which has since become available.
Casement’s demeanour since his arrest, and throughout and since the trial, gave no ground for any such defence, and indeed was sufficient to disprove it.

 Casement Windows provided by Renovation Experts . com
Casement windows are perhaps most recognizable to the homeowner as the windows that operate by turning some sort of crank mechanism, which in turn opens the window.
The draft-resistance advantage of casement windows is due to the way in which the casement windows’ sash (the frame that surrounds the glass) closes against the frame of the window, creating a more positive seal than other window types that operate by sliding against or between their frames.
Casement windows are also good candidates for bedroom windows, as their design, which allows the entire sash to pivot aside, provides a large opening as an escape route in a fire situation.

 Jack White on Rodger Casement, 1936.
There is in the best type of Irishman—and Casement bad it in supreme degree—a certain noble romanticism, a sense of the drama of the fight of good against evil, which supports him with a sense of the dramatic even if he stands single-handed against the world.
I shall have something to say later on about Casement’s death—I was within 50 yards of him in the Pentonville Hospital when lie was hanged—and the strong sense I got then that this sense of something greater, this ecstasy or standing outside himself, supported Casement in death.
The reply of the Government of time Independent State of the Congo was couched in a tone of sarcastic impudence and its reference to the lack of adequate evidence in support of the charges made, left Lord Lansdowne in no doubt as to what he should do.
