the senate committee Investigating
charges that American soldiers had
been hanged without trial
Former officers who had served at
Is Sur Tile in various capacities fat
Iy contradicted testimony given by
soldier witnesses, who had appeared
at earlier sessions OF the committee,
declaring without exception that had
other executions occurred, they would
certainly have been informed as a
matter of routine official business.
Described TWO Hanuings.
Colonel Samuel v. Ham. who was in
command OF the post from March TO

Colonel fam. "There were no other
