A Lawyer plays Witness.
'idaI has returned, senor."

"Vidal has returned, senior"
Billy Stairway awoke with a start.
The late afternoon sun was streaming
through the drawn curtains of the
guestroom to which he had been
shown, and Pedro stood over his bed
"Vidal has brought Mr.. Demptc i
back with him?" he asked, sitting up.
Isl, senor," grinned Pedro. Il

to come, but"-and he shrugged elo-
quently-"you know Vidal, senior"
'aTorre and Juarez have had no

Stairway slipped out of bed, his
great sinewy body towering for a mo-
ment over the lesser form of the
breed.
"You are a gentleman, Pedro" he
said warmly. "Your master, when he
comes back to US, will have you to
thank as much as anyone. Now, Will
YOU ask your senorita to come to the
library? And then will you see that
Vidal brings the lawyer there"
Pedro went about his errand, and
Stairway, dressing swiftly, went to the
library, which he had chosen because
If was at one end of the house, and
so a place in which to converse with
out fear of being overheard by Tore
or the captain.
Vidal was there before him, big
man with a beautiful body and a
SCARED. ugly face. And with him,
looking grotesquely small, pitifully in
efficient in the presence of his guard,
was DemptOn.
"SIr. Stairway, sir" The lawyer
was upon his feet in an instant, his
face red with anger, his speech seem

written statements by a number of
nurses and physicians in various
Korean hospitals testifying to the
severity, of such punishment. These
reports show that large number of
the Koreans suffered peritonitis and
gangrene and died in great agony.
Villages Burned.
Other certificates tell of the MUIR
der of hundreds Of helpless Korean
men, woman and children, of the
burning of villages, and the destruc-
ton Of property generally by the jap
anese police.
One such story Of particular inter-
est Is that in connection with the
town Of Chai-Amm-Ni. In this viii
lage, according to the report, the
police assembled all of the native
Christians in the Methodist church,
under the pretense of delivering aIec-
ture to them. When the men had as
sembled, thirty-six in number. the
police opened fire upon them through
the windows, and in this manner MUIR
dered all Of the Christian men, and
also burned the residences of the
people whom they had murdered. The
report further says that wives of the
murdered men gathered on the hill

lice.
Koreans Refuse to Use Force.
Through all Of this persecution, II
is stated that the Koreans refused
to take up arms or to exercise any
decree of force whatever. In all of the
proclamations and documents issued
by the revolutionists, copies of which
were sent to the board by the mis-
sionaries, 1t is asserted that the move
ment Is a peaceful one, but will be
persisted in until Korean independ-
ence has been gained.
Missionaries Not Involved.
Special information was asked as
to whether the missionaries them
selves had taken any part in the dem
onstrations, or whether foreign in
fuences were back of the independ-
ence movement in Korea.
A document submitted by the mis-
sionaries says that nearly all of the
police reports which are sent in from
the villages after a massacre has oc-
CURED, state that Christian mission
aries and native Christians have been
responsible for the outbreak. The
missionaries themselves, however,
state that such has never been the
case and that the interior police make
these reports only to justify their ac-
ton in numbering the Christians and
burning their churches.
1t is pointed out that Mr.. Kap-
suo Usami, the director of internal
affairs. and Mr.. Sangai Kokubu, the
director of judicial affairs, have both
issued statements showing that mis-
sionaries and foreigners are In no
way concerned with these outbreaks.
In spite Of these official denials
however, the persecution Of the mis-
and Christians became so
that the American consul
general in Seoul officially requested
travelling missionaries to refrain from
travelling in the country districts I'M
til such prosecutions had ceased, and
he also made representations to the
Japanese government concerning such
persecution.
