Smith was found "not guilty" by the jury, but immediately re-arrested on practically the same charge.

For these alleged crimes thousands of us have been jailed in foul and filthy cells throughout this country, often without charge, for months and in some cases, years, and when released re-arrested and again thrust in jail to await a trial that is never called.

Like Elmer Smith, he was re-arrested on another similar charge and thrown back in jail.

Jodoque did not instantly rush forward to re-arrest this prisoner; but it struck him there must be a reward for the recapture; so, determining upon taking the prisoner and the basket at one fell swoop, he tore away to the burgomaster's to inform him of the discovery.

*** It is understood that the Home Office does not propose to re-arrest DE VALERA.
