MAJOR WALLER
ADDRESSES COURT

Manila, April 1l.--Maj Lytleton W.
T, Waller Of the marine corps. who is
being tried by court-martial on the
charge Of executing Samar natives
without trial. addressed the court to-
day, The major said he was either
right or wrong in his actions,
and added that he desired to cite five
precedents which came under the head
Of his own case. He alluded to the
naval battle Of Santiago and the hu-
mainly he had shown the Spanlards
who were captured and said he had
many letters from spaniards thanking
him for the kindness he had shown
them.
Continuing, the major said that in
1882 he was with the British forces in
Egypt, where Arabs captured pickets
of Bengal cavalry, decaptated the
prisoners and placed their heads on
poles, Afterwards all the Arabs were
caught and shot without trial.
During the campaign in China. the
Chinese mutilated the dead. Conse-
quently when Boxer or fanatic was
captured he was executed immedi-
ately without trial. This was true in
the case Of the troops of every nation
in China. II was true during the three
weeks he commanded the Americans
there. But the same thing occurred
later when he was no longer in COM
mand.
No protest was made and he had
every right to believe that his acts
were approved, so far as the American
forces were concerned. He knew they
were approved by those OF other ma
lions.
1T is impossible to conceive such
treachery as that OF the natives OF
Samar," said the major "They reyel
In blood and have an appetite for
wanton sacrllege Of the human body.
The iends stole Capt Cornell's class
ring, filed the soldiers bodies with
jam and Jelly and attempted 10 murder

estly thought then that was doing
right and / believe so now. Neither

Capt. Arthur T. Mark, marine
corps, representing Maj Waller, In a
iorceful argument maintained that
walters actions were justified by mar
tial law, quoting numerous authorities
on the subject. Capt Mark also
said he regretted that the prosecution
had seen III TO call Gen. Smith.
He claimed that all the testimony went
to show that the major was justified.
At the conclusion Of the arguments
Tor the defense the general feeling was
that the result Of the trial would be the
acquittal OF the major.
