pre-V-J Day psychology of the
can soldiers will be occupying
revealed Tuesday by M/Sgt. Noel
Harris, 405 st. Anthony Avenue,
st. Paul, who has just received his
discharge from the Army after 38
months of service, 10 of which were
spent in the Southwest Pacific with
the famed 93rd infantry division.
Sgt. Harris, who was separated
from the service at Camp Mccoy,
Wisconsin, served on Morotai
Island where an Associated Press
news despatch revealed, Wednes-
day, that more than 5000 Japs
there and on nearby Halmahera
island, were turning in their
weapons to members of the 93rd in
accordance with surrender orders
relayed to them from Tokyo.
Harris believes that even
now some of the more fanat-
ical Jap soldiers will perhaps
commit suicide rather than suf-
fer being taken prisoner. He's
seen them hold hand grenades
against their abdOmens and
blow themselves to pieces
rather than be captured by
American troops. In regard to
the American occupation of
Japan, he said:
Personally, think the Occu-
patton soldiers will find it
tougher there than on the front
lines, and for a lot of reasons.
For one thing they won't know
which of the Japs are of the
most extreme fanatical type,
and therefore they'll have to
watch the whole shebang. One
crazy Jap may try to kill three
or four American soldiers"
Jap soldiers on Morotai and on
most of the other Pacific Islands
had never seen Negroes before,
Harris stated, and when the 93rd
boys appeared on the scene, the
enemy troops thought they were
natives.
"They were scared to death, be-
cause the natives who inhabited the
islands before the japanese occu-
patton, didn't fool around when they
captured them. They just whacked
their heads off"
Although the 93rd, which fol-
lowed white infantry divisions in
for hopping up operations, suffered
casualties, it inflicted far more
damage on the enemy than the
enemy did on its men. Harris esti-
mates that the casualties in his
regiment were about four or FIVE
percent, while the Jap losses ranged
as high as 95 percent.
Cited for combat operations
against the enemy, Harris has
to his credit two battle stars,
a campaign ribbon, good con-
duct medal and the Bronze
Star. According to the cita-
ton:
He demonstrated great dill
gence and efficiency, as chief
and only enlisted assistant to
the operations and training of
officers. This superior assis-
lance inestimably affected kill
ing or capturing of the enemy,
as well as the procurement of
many vital documents"
He is not one of the "beef
brigade" He says the morale of
the 93rd has been unusually high"
but now that the war is over, all

after she had struck him, but Vehementy denied
that he had knocked her down. insisting that she
was fully conscious and still shouting at him at
the time he left the building.
Finding a bruise the woman's face and
evidence of bleeding within her skull, the coroner
gave his opinion that her death was caused by
blow that had knocked her down. Without any
other corroboration the husband was sconylcted.-
Several months later, the mans lawyer sue
ceeded in getting an order for the eXhumation and
re-examination of the womans body. staff
member of Harvard's Department of Legal Mcdi-
cine was called to perform the autopsy. His ex-
animation disclosed that the woman had died of
natural causes. She had suffered for a long time
from an unsuspected disease which unfortunately
had resulted in her death on the very day she
had that violent quarrel with her husband
The man freed, and science triumphcd In
the cause of justice.
With skill and knowledge and an upto-date
laboratory the staff of experts in the Harvard
department, under the capable direction of DR.
Alan A. MoritZ professor of legal medicine, has
already prevented many a miscarriage OF justice
and has also trained doctors in the field of legal
medicine as well as familiarized many law enforce
ment officers with the scientific and proper in
Vestigation of sudden deaths.
In order TO execute this ambitious program,
the department had to have access to actual cases.
IT has therefore established official connections
with the Massachusetts State Police and the
Medical Examiners Office in Boston, and in this
capacity the department has participated in sew
eral thousand Investigations of deaths OF violence
or of suspicious nature-wth marked success.
Recently a middle aged woman in Western
Massachusetts was found dead, obviously from
poisoning There were three possibilities of how
the woman could have swallowed the poison: BY

By JOSEPH C. PETERS

A OST of us may be surprised TO learn that
n ~ the phrase getting away with murder
NL generally used in its lighter sense-could
be applied literally TO a large number of lndi-
vduals in this country.
Considering the fact that about one death in
five in the United States results either from
violence or unknown CauSeS2thata are never
lscertaned, the criminals who escape punishment
are legion-due largely, according TO criminol
ogists to unframed and negligent Investigators
To help remedy this situation the Harvard
Medical School has established a Department of
legal Medicine devoted to scientific criminal re-
search The Harvard department, in association
with the Massachusetts State Police, makes
speciality of assisting authorities and Of training
investigators who will be able to cope with Grim
inal problems in their own communities.
A recent survey made jointly by the American
Medical and Bar associations found that the
absence of competent crime investigators in many
sections led to nonrecognition OF murder, the
unjust accusation of innocent persons and the
failure to acquire medical evidence needed either
in apprehending criminals or preventing the
cause of sudden deaths
An illustration bearing out this conclusion was
the supposed murder of a woman in a Mdwestern
state a case among many that came to the atten-
ton of the Harvard department since its found
ing in 1910.
The woman was found dead the kitchen
floor of her apartment The position of the body,
the disorder in the apartment and the statements
of the neighbors testfying to her quaTesome
and nagging nature led to the arrest of the
woman's husband This action apparently was
based on sound reasoning.
When questioned, the husband said he had
quarrel with his wife and admitted striking her

accident suicide or homicide
The average, unframed investigator probably
would have pronounced homicide, for the woman's
mother had revealed to the police that her dauEh
ter had frequently told her how She thought her
husband was getting tired of her.
Had the departments laboratory not solved the
problem the man would have almost surely been
accused Analysis disclosed that the poison that
caused the womans death had such an obnoxious
flavor that even few drops of IL would have
made any food unpalatable.
Therefore, she could not have taken IT by
accident or without her knowledge.
In addition, she had swallowed enough Of the
poison TO cause death after a few minutes. Yet II
was established that the woman had been alive
at least four hours after her husband had left
the house. The verdict, OF course was suicide.
Murder by poison is the most difficult type OF
crime TO discover and to prove. The poison mur-
derer according to DR.. Joseph T. Walker, mem
Der Of the Harvard staff, shows by his acts a
more than average cunning, skill and intelligence.
who feels that he can get away with murder.
PUT no matter how clever the criminal he has
- less chance of escaping punishment when he has
10 match his wits with scientific investigators.
1t is obvious that If the murderer IS cunning
enough to kill without leaving any external e..
dcnce of assault, and provided no one had set
him in the act the victims death often will be at
tributed to natural causes or TO accident.
When a man was found dead recently one
morning about 20 feet below a narrow catwalk
on the cement parapCt of dam, the only clue to
his death was that he had been intoxicated the
night before The plausible but superficial con-
clusion was that the man fell accidentally.
But the medical examiner doubted by the
looks and the distribution of the bruises on the
