Thinks tt Impossible
 Soldiers Were Hanged
 Without Propre Trials
Walter Brower, With Long Experience as Trial Judge Advocate in France Says He Never Even Heard
 Rumor of Such Thing Until Watson Charges

in the 116th Virginia regiment who murdered comrade In cold blood on Saturday night, The trial court was organized on Monday and the man was sentenced to death on Wednes- day. Even In minor matters the men were given proper trials for their offenses and of course in great army there were bound to be off, lenders
 Tt was common talk in France before and after the armistice. that no man in the American army had been executed for purely military offense All such cases were either for murder or rape and l do not be- lieve it Is possible for men to have been hanged without trial.
 T never heard even a rumor of such thing In spite of the way in which rumors travel in the army. For 15 days I was on duty at Gen eral Pershing's headquarters in the office of the judge advocate general, reviewing court-martial sentences which were to be approved or disap- proved by the commanding general. thus had opportunity to come in contact with all sorts of cases from all parts of the army and, as I say, never even heard a rumor of such a thing as of a man being hanged without trial, I don't believe Sem ator Watson can .substantiate his charges. If he can 1t will certainly be shock to me, as l am sure 1t will be to others in position to know something about what went on in the trial courts.
 With the present lights before me simply do not believe 1t is possible. Senator Watson surely has been im- posed upon"

ADJUSTMENTS BY EsTEI.IE aETHEA HALE
SESSUE HAYAkAWA AT FIVE
 POINTS THEATRE IN DRAMA

A stirring drama. 'The First Born" Is starring sessue Hayakawa at the Five Points theatre today. This drama is filled with the charm of the oriental customs and manners and has story that Is one of the strong est ever written, produced with the exotic appeal of all stories of the orient.
 Sessue Hayakawa is perhaps the most dynamic of all screen actors, possessing on appeal to theatre goers that is unexplainable in its strength Aside from being a very fine actor, Hayakawa has a wonderful person. ality which he employs to the ut most in this picture.
 A remarkably beautiful programme of musical selections Is played in ac- compartment to this drama by the Five Points orchestra. This organi- zation. called the Million Dollar Orchestra" is one of the best or chestras in the city and has six pieces In its makeup. A two-reel comedy Is shown with The First Born" making the usual full pro gramme of music and pictures offer ed at the Five Points theatre.

"Knowing the army as do and be- ing familiar with court-martials and their methods, I simply do not believe 1t is possible for soldiers to have been hanged in France without trial as charged by Senator Watson" said Walter Brewer, the well-known at torney, yesterday. Mir Brewer served for IS months in France as trial judge advocate. and in the Judge ad vocate generals office. and is espe- cially familiar with the proceedings in such cases.
 q cannot help believing that Sem ator Watson Is doing lot of sensa- tional talking without proper basis for his charges" continued MT. Brow er. !" Naturally l am interested fin what he will have to say but feel that either he Is simply trying to be sensational or that he has been im- posed upon by some one who has given him wrong information
 For a good many months l acted as trial judge advocate of the Eighty second division, and during the en- tire time I remember of but one case of a man sentenced to death. It was 8 murder case and the sentence was afterward commuted, but he should have hanged because of the brutality of the offense.
 Later I served as division judge advocate of the 29th division and during this experience one man was given the death sentence. This, too was for murder.
 ''In all my experience I never heard of mans being punished without proper trial, Of course. a court martial trial differs greatly from the ordinary civil trial but the aim Is to get quick justice with the elimination of all technicalities and It is unually secured. I recall the case of man
