BRUTALITY PRISONERs' LOT fcontinued Ernfn First pese, ~'s

At the close of the hearing Rep resentatiye Johnston, who IS char man of the subcommittee, arnounc- cd that all cases would be placed before the inspector general of the American army and every effort made to bring the guilty men to punishment.
 "From the evidence before the committee" said Mir. Johnston, It seems clear to us that while ser 0eants and lieutenants were punish cd. they were merely the scapegoats of higher officers. We want to dis cover who were the men higher up and we will do everything in our power to see that they are brought [ to trial"
 The principal witness at the hear ing today was Col T. Q. Donaldson of the inspector generals depart ment, who made an official investi- gation of the prisons after the first charges of brutality were made pub lie. Under close questioning by Representatve Bland and with ob- vious reluctance, Colonel Donaldson admitted that responsibility for the conditions in the Paris prisons, con corning which some of the most sen sational charges of brutality have been made, must be laid to General Harts. He was then questioned sharply as to the reasons why Col. Grinstead, who had been in charge of farm No. 2, had never been brought to trial, although Colonel Donaldson in his report had recon mended his court martial for neg lect of duty. st
 s'Is it possible" asked Mir. Bland, ''that high officers took the position that they would not convict man of the rank of Colonel?"
 "Oh, mo-"
 "And that they had good goat in the person of Lieutenant Hard boled" Smith"
 q have nothing to say[ about that"
 Do you know of any reason" persisted MT. Bland. 'why Colonel Grinstead should not have been brought to trial?"
 q suppose the superior officers had some good reason," replied the witness.
 Tt is a serious reflection on the A. E. F." commented MT. Bland. "If sentry goes to sleep on duty he is shot, but if an officer goes to sleep on duty and hundreds of boys are beaten up he is given an honor able discharge"
 Lieut.. F. H. (Hardboiled) Smith, who was in direct command of farm No. 2, admitted that terrible bru- talities" were practiced in the French prison camps, but insisted that his camp was pleasure re- sort' compared to the others. He said he had not long to live and wanted to tell the truth while he was alive.
 Smith was sentenced to three years imprisonment on charges of beating prisoners and stealing their property. His sentence was reduc- ed to Is months, and when Colonel Donaldson was on the stand he was asked to explain this reduction, but could give no reason for it.
 Smiths reference to his expected death was interpreted bythe prison doctor as an indication of his belief that some of the prisoners would at- tempt his life. The doctor said that as far as he knew the man was in perfect health.
