soldier killed by a sergeant with a
hayonot because he was n cpnscienti-
Gus objector and refused to carry a
gun.
Two other af1davits OF a similar
character were presented.
so we see" said the Georgia senA-
tor, three instances where p~rivates
were killed by their superiors without
~provocation and without trial.
Kenneth G, Robinson of Washing
ton, d: G. in an affidavit said he IA
a private suspended by the wrists
from a tree from TAO p. m. to ; a.
m. and then Knocked down by a col
nnei because he refused to work on
bread and water.
According TO an affidavit by Henry
T.. Scott of Kenmore. Ohio, a major
openly shot and killed two soldiers
without revocation Scott was or
dered su%bpoenaed.
The inquiry drifted into charges Of
stealing by soldiers.
Jones is Called.
Writing from Devils Lake, n. D..
DIR. w. y. Jones, in a letter to Senator
Watson, read to the committee, de-
clared his son, a marine, toll him of
the execution of a negro soldier with
out court martial.
The negro, according to the docs
tors son., gave money to a French
girl, and on her refusal to return It.
he took II forcihly. For this. it was
alleged, the negro was hanged.
It developed that young Jones be-
longed to the 10Th company regiment
marines. He was ordered sum-
moned.
Colonel Bethel, who was General
Pershing's chief legal adviser over
seas, appeared before the committee
altar In,otnr Ny-,fpN,, T., ~, ,p1,i,o
statement had presented a number,
Of afidavits and letters from former
soldiers to support his charges.
Colonel Bethel informed the com
mittee that the American military
authorities had exc usive jurisd .ction
ever the American army and the
French never attempted to exercise
jurisdiction in criminal cases.
In all he told the committee SO
death sentences were imposed. Gen
eral Pershing ordering eleven execut-
ed and disappearing the sentence IN
eleven cases The other cases, the
witness said, were reviewed at Wash
ing,un and changed.
Do you know Of any case where
a soldier was hanged without trial."
Chairman B~randegce askeT.
II can give only negative evil
dence." Colonel Bethel said. But I
would he willing to swear hat moth
ing IT that lind cou'd happen"
How about the affidavit submitted
by Senator Watson that a soldier was
convicted by French court martial
where he could rot understand the
proceedings asked Chairman Bran
deeoe.
"1t mean that it simply IL a mis-.
take " GotoAcl Bethel replied. " am
absolutely positive It was not true"
