They murdered Johannes Kunze
in the prisoner of war camp at
Tonkawa, Okla, where Boyer, as
senior non-cor1missioned officer in
his compound, ordered his men to
assemble in the mess hall. He had
found a memorandum written by
kunze which he considered traitor
Gus. He was found guilty by his
fellow prisoners and beaten to
death at once with fists and heavy
coffee cups.
The five were court martialed at
Camp Gruber, Okla. The verdict
was appealed through the various
steps and was approved finally by
the late President Roosevelt on
Oct. 5, 1914. The executions were
delayed by subsidiary appeals
which were settled on July 2, 1945
and the men were notified of their
execution date.
