Senate Investigating Commit
tee Hears Varied Reports of
Killings.

WASHINGTON, Jan 10 Nearly
a dozen witnesses. all from Virginia,
broke about even in numbers Non
day in testifying for and against
Major Heroine u. Opie, of Staunton,
Va. before a senate committee inves-
tigating charges that American sold
iers had been hanged without trial
in France,
At Mondays session, there was no
evidence Of hangings.
Men who had served with the reg
ament, supplementing testimony sub
mitted last week, declared they saw
Major Opie shoot runners in oct.
1918, while his command was in the
ArgOnne offensive. Others. who
were with this officer on the dates
mentioned, asserted that he had
shot no one, and that he only fired
70 stop some OF his men who were
in disOrdered retreat.
Chairman Brandegee, seeking to
cut through the conflicting evidence,
endeavOred to ascertain the exact
number alleged 10 have been shot
but in the end there was some
doubt in the minds of members as
to whether the witnesses had seen
and were attempting to describe the
same alleged slaughter.
Hope for Speedy Finding.
Counsel for Major Opie, in a brief
statement at the conclusion. ex-
pressed the hope that there might
be a speedy finding, and asked that
further evidence relating to him
might be presented at one time.
Sen. Watson, dem, Georgia, whose
speech in the senate led TO the in
vestigation, opposed any attempt to
single out the Opie case, declaring
he was not the prosecutor that he
had not brought the majors name
in and that the major himself was
the first TO give the charges public
ity after a witness had told of the
shooting Of a man by an officer des-
ignated as Major Opley.'
AS all the testimony for and
against Maj. Opie was cleared from
the slate, a special date Will be fixed
for re-opening the charges by the
committee in the event of further
statements should be forthcoming
The most direct testimony against
Major Opie today was given by
Charles 4. Fox of Richmond, Va,
who swore he saw the officer shoot
a runner in the back. Later cOun-
sci for Maj. Opie requested the
witness 70 state whether he had
written a certain letter which had
been put into the records. Fox was
not certain as TO whether he had
written it, The letter set forth that
