Sentence


mashita nervously removed his
wrist watch, wound it fumbling-
ly.
When the commission was
ready to pronounce sentence
the three-star general was led
before the bench with his chief
counsel, Col. Harry E. Clarke.
Reynolds intoned:
NO ACCIDENTS
This commission finds that a
series of atrocities and high
crimes were committed by jap
anese armed forces under your
command against nationals OF
the United States and its allies
and dependencies. That these
were not sporadic incidents. but
were often methodically super
vised by Japanese officers and
non-commissioned officers.
During the period in ques-
ton you failed to provide effec-
tive control of your troops as
required by the circumstances.
Accordingly, on a secret ballot,
two-thirds or more of this COM
mission concurring, this COM
mission finds you guilty as
charged and sentences you to
death by hanging"
Yamashita's shoulders sagged
as he heard the sentence, but
he Strengthened quickly and
made a curt bow to the commits
sion. He quickly was led by
military police from the court
room back to his cell in Old
Bilibid prison.
The entire court procedure
required less than Is minutes.
In Tokyo a few hours before
the verdict was read, the gem
erals wife said she had declined
suggestions from friends to APP
peal to Mrs. Douglas MacAr-
thur for "help and justice for
my husband"
"The method of justice on
American side Is admirably
fair" she was quoted by the
newspaper Mainichi. Il am
pleased with it. l thought my
husband should be put on trial
naturally because he took COM
mand for a long time in the
front"
Yamashita, who already has
lost an appeal to the Philip
pines supreme court to take
Jurisdiction of his case and free
him from the military trial,
still has an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court pending
and at least three additional ap-
peals to make.
