of the last two hours of his life
He had moist beri beri. His legs
feet, arms and hands were swelled
incredibly from the water with
which he had tried to assuage his
hunger. He did not know me.
More of us made wills after that
or sat down and wrote memoranda
to one another. Maj. Gen. William
F. Sharp came to me on Mach 18
1943, and handed me a sheet OF
paper on which he had written
For Gen. Wainwright or the
senior American officer present at
the time of my demise.
"O In case of my demise, while

Save Cruelest Trick.
The Japs saved the cruelest trick
Of all for the higher-ranking off,
GERS during the last days at Ka-
renko.
Late In March our camp received
VI 900 pounds of Red Cross supplies
from South Africa. It was a sheer
miracle, and as we saw the god
send come in we knew that we were
about to be saved from death by a
perfect avalanche Of canned c0frlSd
beef, biscuits, cheese, jam, sugar,
cocoa, tea and a host of other bless
ings-including many boxes OF
shoes.
It was too good to be true-and
that was just about the case. The
Japs told us that they would dis
tribute this golden harvest later
At the time the Illustration was
more numbing than any beating we
had ever taken. We walked through
a dull daze for several days. And
then, on April 2, 1943, was rounded
up with S major generals, 13 briga.
dier generals, Navy captain, II
enlisted men, the senior British and
Dutch officers and the governor gen.
erals.
And rather dimly 1 heard the Japs
tell me was leaving Karenko.
(Tomorrow-New trials begin
for Wainwright at = succession
Of new prison camps.)

Former Policeman
Testifies Snyder Kept
Him on Farm a Month

Clarence S. Gray, a former Mont
gomery County policeman, told a
Rockville jury today that he had
worked on the Burtonsville farm of
Police Capt. D. Leroy Snyder on
various occasions between 1943 and
l945, and that he had received his
salary as policeman even though
He had not been on duty at the time.
Snyder has been suspended from
the force pending outcome of his
trial on charges of malfeasance in
office growing out of the alleged use
of policemen on his farm, and with
falsifying police records to show the
policemen at their posts at the time.
Mr.. Gray said he had worked on
the farm for about month in Sep
tember and October, 1943, during
which he painted Snyder's house
barn, garage and henhouse.
Received Regular Pay.
He also testified he worked on the
farm in June, 1945.
During these periods, he told the
court, he received his regular pay as
a policeman, even though he did not
report for duty.
Under cross examination, Mr..
Gray said he had reported his work
on the farm to Police Chief H. Leslie
Carlin and Police Commissioner
Richard H. Lansdale, but they had
taken no action. He said he then
attempted to get in touch with a
reporter from Washington news
paper to expose the matter.
! Asked why he was attempting to
have Mr.. Lansdale and Mr.. Carlin
take action, Mr.. Gray replied.
II thought 1t was the place Of
the taxpayers to know just where
and how their money was being
spent and to show that 1t was being
spent on a farm"
Another Worked Three Days.
He added that he had talked to
the police chief and Mr.. Lansdale
shortly after he resigned from the
force last August.
When asked, You don't like Capt.
Snyder, do you?" he said, Il
wouldn't exactly say that"
He explained that he had re-
signed because he had been given a
tour of duty to perform when it
wasn't his time to do it.
He said the duty concerned
guarding the crossing at the Cath
olic Church in Silver Spring and
that he was supposed to be as
signed to walk the street at that
time"
Earlier Policeman John H. John
son of the Silver Spring substation
testified that he cut corn three times
this year on Snyder's farm.
The witness told the court he
worked on Snyder's farm on Sep
tember 19 and on two days last
June.
Denies Corruption"
In his opening statement, States
Attorney Joseph B. Simpson, jr.,
told the jury he would prove that
after employing policemen on his
farm Snyder submitted reports to
Chief Carlin showing the men had
been on duty.
He said he would show that no
deduction ever had been made for
the policemens alleged failure to
perform their proper duties.
Defense Attorney James H. Pugh
Icontended the evidence would not
reveal any corruption" by the de-
fendant or that he was guilty of any
misconduct.
