SENATE COMMITTEE
SEEKS FACTS ABOUT
SHOOTING OF SOLDIER
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Further ef-
forts we're made today by the senate
committee investigating charges that
American soldiers were hanged with
out trial in France to clear up the al
legged shooting of a soldier by a firing
squad at Chateau Thierry in July, 1918.
George w. Marlborough, high school
teacher of Roanoke, Ala, who recently
testified that he was an eyewitness
to the shooting, was described by Capt.
E. B. Edwards, of Fort Sill, Okla,
his commanding officer, as soldier
above the average, whose general rep
Utation was excellent.
Answering Senator Watson, Demo
crat, of Georgia, Capt. Edwards de-
clared Marlborough was a good man
and that he would not hesitate to be-
lieve what he said under oath.
Capt. Edwards and Ouher officers at
tached to the Marlborough command
testified, however, that they never
heard of the shooting either from the
Alabama teacher or others, and that
they did not believe such an execution
could have taken place without word
of it reaching them.
