"GALLOWS" IDENTIFIED
AS UNLOADING CRANE
Watson Picture Recognized by En-
gineer Who Erected "Scaffold"
at Gievres.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, December IT.
William P. Cowles, a local engineer,
who served as a major of engineers
in the American expeditionary forces.
in a statement last night said he had
recognized a picture of a "gallows"
furnished to Senator Thomas Watson
in support of the latter'S charge Of
wholesale executions in the A. E. F.
as that of a crane he had constructed
while in France. I'VE had to have some
means of unloading gasoline tanks
from cars" said Mr.. Cowles. Il con-
structed this beam, by means of which
the tanks were lifted from the cars
by a rope and deposited on plat
form. l recognized the crane at once
when l saw it in the paper. which
called it 'gallows.' The structure
was ten by eight feet, and stood
across the road from the depot at
Gievres. south of our office.
Il think Senator Watson's charges
will be traced down to incidents of
this kind. The judge advocate gen.
eral said there were eleven hangings
in France, and l think that it will be
found that that was all / was presi-
dent of a court-martial over there,
and want to say that 1 would rather
take my chances with such tribunal
than a civil court of justice.
