TEE PRE&IDENTs Admitted on the usual terms. CLERK OF THF COURT; Prosecution's document No. 2844 will receive exhibit No„ 1421. (Whereupon, the document above re- ferred to was ！narked prosecution 1 s exhibit No. 1421 and received in evidence.) MR, LOPEZ::, We read the entire document: "Briefljr sunrearized, the evidence adduced bv the Investigator-Examiners is to the effect that: "On 9 February 194?, American troops were closing in on Manila and the borbing and. shelling were continuous. Fires had broken out, water and food had "become extremely difficult to obtain, and safe shelter was sought by countless numbers of refugees throughout the city. During the afternoon of 9 February and into 12,^21 the evening Japanese patrols scoured the Ermita District^ routing from their hones and places of business everyone in that area and bringing them to Plaza Ferguson. These people were told that because of the bombs and shellfire it was the desire of the Japanese to assemble them in protected areas f.nd since the statement seemed reasonable under the circum- stances ,most of the civilians went voluntarily. "By approximately 1700 hours some 2,000 men, women and children, all civilians and of mixed nationalities, had been brought to the Plaza and at that time a Japanese officer who appeared to be in charge came and ordered that the men and elder male children be separated from the wonen and children. The men were taken to the Hanila Hotel and the women and children to the Bay View Hotel,with the exception of a small group of approximately twenty girls who were taken to a neart^ restaurant called 'The Coffee Pot 1 , a lo'ange or club for Japanese officers and enlisted men- These in this group were given food and liquor and from there they went to the Bay View Hotel where they were put on one of the upper floors. The remainder of the captives appear to have been kept on the lower floors of the hofel. "Between the hours of 1800 and 0430 the following 12,ヲ22 2 3 4 5 6 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 morning; the Japanese removed any d.ouht they might have had as to the 'protection 1 which they were to receive. In twos and threes 5 enlisted nen and t officers came to the various rooms in which these wcraen had been quartered, selected those they wished by the light of candles and flashlights, took them to other rooms and raped them. "Similar scenes were enacted at the nearby Boulevard,Alhainbra and Miramar Apartments where the Filipino woren in the group were taken during the following day. Throughout the nights of confine- ment in all three places young girls were forced, some at bayonet point, to go with these Japanese' for their pleasure. "The reason for this segregation was given early ir： the afternoon of 10 February when one of the women inquired of an officer as to the reason the Filipinos •were leaving the hotel. Believing her to be white, he answered 'We hate white women..,. There are orders that we are to kill all of j^ou, but we are waiting because we may decide to use all of the white women as our frontline to keep the Americans from coming in or. us.' "Only seven of the victims would admit having been raped, although the proof is clear that at least 12,5-523 forty were violated, the same being indicated by their returr to their rooms in nervous condition with hair and dress disarranged and frequently with blood showirg upon their garments. Thirty-six state that attempts were made to rape them and the eviderce indicates that, notwithstanding their denial of the accomplishment of the act, these attacks came susniciouslv close to fruition. "This treatment continued for varying periods, the persons confined at the Bay View Hotel being released or escardng on 12 February 19ぺ5 and those aセ the Boulevard^ Alhambra and Miramar Apartments being released or escaping on 13 Februarj、 all of which releases, with so r r.e exceptions to be corrmented upon late'r, were necessitated by boirbing and shelling and resultant fire. "During these three cays, tlir following incidents exer.plify the terroristic debauchery that took place: "In one night, a tYi/enty-four year old Filipino woman was raped betv;een t jelve and fifteen times. Notwithstanding that she became sc dazed and weak after the first few attacks that she fell to the floor half-cor)scions 5 J"a : ,_r.nese continued until 0400 to enter the rooir and di a^ her awav for further ravishment. n 12,^524 "One Japanese 5 in a spirit of drunken braggadocio, showed the sharpness of his bayonet by ripping a girl's skirt open from its bottom to her hips with a slash. "Kicking girls as thev- j.ajr prostrate on the floor was a comrnor occurrence and there were instances where a girl was dragged away, her attacker grasping her leg and Trailing her along on her back.“ 12,525 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 !, A few were able to escape the common fate b.y claiming they were menstruating, although demon- strative proof で。s usually recuired. ？.nd was sometimes followed by a blow with a rifl© butt. "One girl accompanied a particular Japanese quite willingly, saying that he was her sweetheart and she 'had already promised him that' r?hile some others accaiesced without resistance solely because of fear and their captors' promises of freedom if 亡hey would submit quietly. "A fourteen yoar old British マirl ve.s taken with her sister, pushed and kicked along the corridor to another room and raped at least four times, *,?as al- lowed fin-ally to return to her own room, "bleeding sncl torn. Having 'a light complexion she 邛as f?.vored and, in fact, the n'hite girls were searched out and segre- gated. "A Turkish woman, forty years of age, si: • ccss- fully p.nd resourcefully dissuaded a v;ould-be attacker by claiming she *,vas too old rnd removing and shoeing ber false teeth to prove it. She then kept her daughter safe by hiding bor underneath her skirt. "In the face of pointed v/eapons, the sheer determination of e.n elderly friend protected a young mother vrith a child in her arms from being taken." 12,526 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 "Three prostitutes told their fellow captives that they r̂ oulcl submit to the Japanese and thus at- tempt to protect the younger girls and m?.:."ried women. Some of the victims clcarl：/ felt grateful for the pro- tection thus afforded. "At the Miramar, an officer took fifteen year old Filipino girl to his room, asked her to go to bed ’nc 1 . r/hen she refused lie proposed that shs marry him. This she also refused,フhereupon ho told her she *;:as no good and scn J - her bpek to the Bay View Hotel. "I.To such incidents seem to have occurred during the daytime, although thirst and hunger kapt these victims in e.cute discomfort. Or. the second day one group vere brought a pail of dirty v^ater which was partially spilled on the floor in their haste to drink. Such spilled drops ^cre eagerly licked off the floor. The drinking water supply was also supplemented by water from the toilets, and for food they received a few biscuits (which r;cre thrown on the floor), a small can of fish and some vitamin pills. T M s was to sorvo fifty people. Another group, twelve in number, re- ceived a pail of water, a box of crackers, a kettle of hot tea", some sugar and some vitamin pills. Also given to them YICTC some tennis shoos. Except for the moles- 12,5-527 tations, these 〜vomcn fci v t they hr.d been comparatively well treated, and apparently it T7cs bocaue one of tho Japanese ho.d previously fallen in love vith a girl in that room. Old biscuits and salty water were th© lot of a less fort una tc pe.rt of twenty. "In tbc main dining room on the first floor of the hotel too or threo ladies of the Cross set u.p an aic 3 . station for the sick and v/ounder on 10 Fob- ruory and during ths afternoon of that day from tv/o hujidrod to two hundred ごnd fifty women and children were brought thoro from the rooms upstairr This re- fuge 、：!as "but tcmporarj 7 -, howcvr.r, and during the follow- ing nights of captivity girls マcro not only te.ken from the dining room but some T'ore rp.pcd there amon：^ their fellov; captives. "As if apace with the stcaclil'/ mounting battle outside, tho attacks and terrorism in th：: hotel rose to s cresccndo during the third night and fourth morning of captivity. A Jspanose officer known as TSRAMOTO told ORG lady, early in the morning of 13 February, that he \w.s going ^ay to fight the Americans and to die, and that boforo ho loft he v-rished to have intercourse with ber daughter as bis l?.st worldly pleasure 5 others stated '卜.hat thoy constituted a * suicide detail 1 and bohnved cvon more brutally than boforo." ！ 12,5-528 "Fire, which broke out in the Bay View Hotel on the 12th and at the Miramar and Alhambra on the 13th proved the salvation for those victims. Some were rather unwillingly released and others escaped in the resulting confusion. "One girl is known to have contracted gonorrhea as a result of this experience and nearly all of them obtained medical examinations when the Americans camo. No pregnancies and no deaths having a dircct connoction with the atrocity appear to have followed it, although at least two ladies had to be treated for shock and generally weakened condition。 11 We offer in evidence IF" document No. 2709, which is the affidavit of EASTER GARCIA MORAS regarding mass rape by Japanese soldiers and officers at the Bay- View Hotel in February 19巧。 TKE PRESIDENT: Admitted on the usual terms.

We pulled our hair 14 down over our eyes and turned our faces into the wall 15 and crouched into the corner attempting to avoid their 16 scrutiny. 17 "Q What did the Japanese do? ie "A They completed their inspection and then 19 left the room in about five minutes, closing the door 20 upon us. 21 "Q Then what happened? 22 "A In about another five minutes, three Japs ； came in and grabbed iny two sisters Priscilla and 24 Evangeline by their arms and forcibly pulled them from 25 the room.

She said, 'Nothing happened to me because I am menstruating. 1 "Q Did you ask her for particulars? "A No, there was so much turmoil in the room with all the girls crying and praying and my sister was so upset that I just held her close and we waited. "Q When did you see Priscilla again? "A She came into the room about 20 minutes after Evangeline had come back the first time. "Q 〜That was her appearance? "A J3he was perspiring, her hair was awry, and her dress was soiled and mussed.

"A No, I did not see her until the next morningdownstairs. "Q Did any more Japanese come in the room?

"Q Did you resist? "A Yes, I told them I was sick and that I had a headache, but that made no difference to them. They just pulled me by the shoulders and forced me out •ノ ' 1 . . . .

A from what I seen of the death march, it looked like there was lots of divisions and out- fits the same r.s an American Army. Q Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, Sergennt. I ir ant to know if you heard of any orders that were issued by the Japanese to the highest ranking Japanese- officer who accompanied the men on that march?

It was in the evening and we had just arrived there and from what I could gather from his speech that he made that night, we wss supposed to be his slaves. Q Was this after or before you began the march? A This was at ths end of the death march at Camp 0'Lonnell. Q My question', Sergeant, was directed to any orders you may have seen or heard before the march started. A I know nothing of any orders about the death march. Q At this camp where there were 200 enlisted men and 3 officers, including yourself, where you stayed from Kay 1st to June 3 0 , 1 9 4 2 , how many men were there in that camp altogether?

As soon f.s the commander found out 9 ； that we was receiving medicine from the Filipino 10 doctor he wouldn 1 t allow him to corns back any more. 11 Q Lo you know of r.ny orders that were issued 1 2 ； to him by higher Japanese officers with respect to | . 1 3 | treatment of prisoners? 1 4 ! A No, sir, I don't. 15 ‘ Q Sergeant, would you say that some of these 16 : beatings that men received were due to language dif- ficulties? By that I mean the prisoners not under - 18 I _ standing the orders of the Jrpanese. 19丨 IvIR. LOPEZ: We object, your Honor, because 20 i it is imracterial,impertinent and irrelevant. We hr.ve language difficulties in this courtroom and 22 there is no beating going on. 23 ! ; lEE PRESIDENT: It wouldn't justify bayo- netings, but let him answer. A That was one of the reasons we received 12,589 MOODY CROSS beatings. That went on right up until the last day of the surrender. Q Where were you transferred after June 30， 1942? MR.

Q How were you treated at that camp? 皿. L O P E Z : Same objection, your Honor. THE PRESIDENT: I think it is within the scope of the examination in chief. A Once again, I was treated very b a d l y .エ v/as on the permanent grave detail there for prac- tically three months. Q Did you remain in this camp until the surrender? A No, sir, I didn't. Q How long did you stay there? A Three months. Q And you transferred to another camp, I suppose? A Yes. ^ How was your treatment -a-fter June 30,1942, MOODY CROSS 12,590 compared with the treatment you have described prior to that date? A My treatment aft、:r that got so bad that I was blind. I had dysentery and malaria, and when I was almost dead they took me to Bilibid Prison Hos- pital, where I remained until I got well. Q Did you get medical treatment? A At Eilibid Hospital, yes. Q How was the food you received after June 3 0 , 1 9 4 2 , compared with that you received before? エ am speaking in general with respect to all the other camps that you were at after June 3 0 , 1 9 4 2 . A The food after that was worse than at Gapan. V» ! e was eating roots,leaves of trees, and just rice, and, like I say once before,the skins of pigs. The food didn't improve until June of 194-3. Q And from that point on was your treatment better? , A It was for me, yes. 0 Was there general disorder and confusion between the period of April, 1942, and June 3 0 , 1 9 4 2 ? A Yes. MK.

I concerned onlv with the treatment that my m^n would m c o i v ^ and wh^th^r thov would be trrat^d as Drisoners-ot war. The Japanese officer de- manded my unconditional surrender. I attempted to so- c v m from him an assurance that mv mon would be treated as prisoners-of-vjar. He accused me of declining to snrr^nd^r unconditionally and of trying to maVrn a con- dition. Wa talked back and forth in this vein .for some time-- I should guess about a half hour, finally he . said to me, through the interpreter, 1 The Imperial Japanese Army are not barbarians'. With that assurance 12,595 I had to contont mya^lf and surrender, "In destroying ariys and equiprent in preparation for surrendpr I had reserved enough motor transportation and gasoline to transport all of my troops out of Bataan. I endeavored, prior to surrender, to secure an assurance that this might done. I plead, after my surrender, that this be done, offering to furnish personnel as might be required by the -Japanese for this purpose or to assist in any way that thev nr'ght roquirp. Tho Japanese told me that they 项ould handle th : movement cf the prisoners as thpy desired, that I would have nothing to do with it, and that my wishes in that connection could not be con- sidered . 11 12 KE.

"Over nine thousand American and about forty- seven thousand Filipino prisoners-of-war were im- prisoned in Camp O'Donnell, and all had surrendered on 9 April 194-2 upon the capitulation of the American 12,598 Forces on Bataan. Many of them had made the so- called ,j Death March' fror Bataan to San Fernando and theree on to Camp O'Donnell. As a result of this trip and the nrivations they had endured just prior to their surrender, all of the prisoners reached Camp O'Donnell in a state of exhaustion. Upon arrival at the camp, the rrisoners were searched, and some were killed by the Japanese when found to possess Japanese money or souvenirs. Other groups of American and Filipino prisoners- of-war were executed, or taken from camp nnfler guard and never heard of again. "Most of the deaths in Camp O'Donnell were due to dysenter:尸 and malaria coupled with malnutrition, and many of these deaths could have "been prevented had the Japanese furnished adequate food v shelter, clothing, water, sanitation facilities, and medicine and hospital care. The quarters provided for the prisoners were overcrowded and inadequate to protect them from the weather. Only open latrines of the 'straddle trench' type were available, "but many of the nrisoners were too weak from illness to use them, and flies and filth were ever^here. No screens were * 25 provided for the kitchen and food was contaminated by- flies from the open latrines. Food was inadequate, 12,599 consisting only of a bowl of rice sprinkled with salt 5 carootes, with occasionally a little watery soup made from greens, but this was later increased until the ren began to gain a little weight. The death rate mourjted to nearly sixty per day during the first two rnonths of imprisonment. During the first few months at Camp 0'Donne 11 the ririsoners were not allowed to use water for bathing, and conditions in the hospital were most unsanitary due to the inability of the patients to move to the latrines. There were no beds nor bedding, and the patients were crowded on the floor and under the building 5 with no pro- tection from insects, flies, and the weather. Repeated requests for redicine and hospital equipment were refused. More than fifteen hundred American prisoners _ of-war died in Camp O'Donnell between the period 18 April 1942 to December 1942 (Exh." 1 ' 'bit. D) 5 and approximately twenty-six thousand Fi3ipino prisoners died during that period (R 9， 209). "American and Filipino prinone.?? T'c-re forced to stand in the hot sun without hats for many hours for minor violations of prison regulations. Others were beaten with rifles, scabbards， and bamboo poles when they fell, exhausted, while at work. Beatings of the prisoners on work details by the Japanese guards, 12,600 •with bayonets > clubs, and pick handles were common occurrences. "Many of the prisoner--- were forced tc bury the dead, build fences, and dig latrines, though they were iDhysically unfit to perforro such labor because of illness and ralnutrition. "Upon arrival at Camp O'Dornell, the prisoners were forced to place all their personal belongings on their blankets, and the Japanese confiscated all money, jewelry, watches, and equipment including medical supplies, although some of the officers were allowed to keep a blanket* "The prisoners were required to "bury their own dead in graves containing twelve to sixty bodies each, without regard to proper identification of the graves or positions of the bodies. Sixty-five who died were listed as unknown. On some occasions they were forced to bury men who were still alive. Frequently the Japanese would not grant permission to bury the dead, and bodies were left exposed to the sun for two or three days at a tirae before permission was granted to bury them. "On several occasions representatives of the Red Cross and other charitable organizations attempted to "bring medicine and supplies to alleviate the 12,601 I 2 \ 3丨 4； 5 | 6 ！ 7 | 8 ； 9 ： 1 0 ！ 11 i 12 I 13 1 4 1 5 ！ 16 | 1 7 | 1 8 丨 1 9 ； 20 j 21 I J 22 2“ 24 25 � condition of the prisoners, but they were turned away at the entrance to the camp.. When supplies were allowed to be brought ir by charitable organizations, the Japanese confiscated much of it for their own use and only allowed the prisorers to have what was left."

When comrflaints were made to the Japanese about the proxiraity of their artillery, Japanese officers replied that the gurs would not be moved until Ccrregidor surrendered to the Japanese. As a result of placing these giirs so near the hospital,at least five American patients ir the hospital were killed and many others wounded by gunfire from the Americans on Corregidcr and Fort Drum. "After the American forces on Bataan surrendered, Japanese confiscated medical supr>lies and almost all of the food c.t the h.ospitn.1, leaving only soire fruit juices, canned milk, and dirty, wormy, mouldy rice.

No shplter whatsoever was furnished to protect the prisoners from the rain or from the heat of the sun. Sanitary facilities consisted only of an open slit trench, and no chemicals 12,605 or disinfectants were made available to improve the sanitary conditions. Water was obtained from two wells which were sunk below sea level, and the water was salty and unpalatable. The prisoners w^re given inadequate food, although ample supplies vteve available and stored in the tunnels of Cor- regidor , T h e men were forced to load captured American supplies on Japanese ships. I.Iany of the prisoners were suffering from illness, some had been wounded in combat, and all r/ere suffering from the privations endured in the days preceding the surrender.

MR. LOPEZ: We read from the document the following: Page the last two questions and answers, and paragraphs 1-7, inclusive, on page 2: "Q Dirl you. -/itness any atrocities or mistreat- ment of American citizens at any tirae? "A Yes „ I would, like to tell you about the torture methods employed by the Japanese at Ilicholes Field, P。エ b e t w e e n 3 September 1942 and 14 July 194-4. "Q State what you know of 3广our own knowledge about those incidents. ! 'A The men 巧ere alloted a certain amount of v/ork to be clone each da^/. Due to physical conditions of the men and to weather conditions, it was in most instances impossible to perform tho required anount of work in the time alloted. If the assigned tasks were not completed within the time limit, the men would be lined up and flogged by Japanese armed with pick handles, rifle "butts, etc。 Iii such instances many arms,legs and backs ^/ere broken and if a man fell to the ground, the Japanese would beat him over 12,607 the head until he yjps unconscious. This v/as a common occurrence. It was amazing to me how men could take such punishment and still survive. I personally have been beaten unconscious. "Another form oデ torture "/as to make a person stand at attention in the hot sun 识ith a bucket full of water on his head. If any of the water v;as spilled, the man v;as beaten as indicated above. "Another common practice was to tie a man to a board with his head lower than his feet and then pour salty water into his mouth. In that posi- tion, ho had to swallow and. the brine solution would cause his stomach to s w e l l . T h e Japanese 珂ou.lcl then .jump on his stomach v;ith their feet. In like manner the Japanese often forced a water hose do-.'n a prisoner' s throat and thus filled his stomach with •".'ater until he became painfully swollen and then they 1 'ould jump on bis stomach. "Still another form of punishment was to tic a man's hands behind bis back and draw his hands un between his shoulders with a rope suspended over tho limb of a tree and let him hang with his feet just off the ground. This usually pulled both arms out of socket. While at tbis camp, I personally 12， hung as long as twenty-four hours in th-̂ .t position. No food or "/atcr T -vr.s given during that tirae o.nd I "IBs under no shelter, exposed to the soaring sun all c'ay and to a heavy downpour of rain during the night. During this time, I v/as boaten plaited rope ？.ncl hit about the face and head with a pistol "butt。 This occurred in September 1943. ' ! 0n one occasion, ny hands vere tiコd. bo hind rny back m d I ^as O orced to kneel on the ground. A piece of tinbGi* 了as placed behind my knees and I '"as made to squat, on that piccG of timber. This resulted, as a rule, in dislocation of the Imoe .ioints and cut off all circulation.エ pas forccd to romain in that position for about three hours. "It was common practice for anj'" and. all Japanese to abuse prisoners-of-wcr by hitting them over the head with tent stakes, pistol butts, etc., for any and all minor offenses and. quite often for no offense whatsoever. "The above recounted torturo methods were administered by W/0 KAJUKI and several of his aides. The aides c.re recalled only "by the nc.mcs of 'Pistol Pete,' 'Saki Ssm' and 'Cherry Blossom.' There was p.lso ？. warrant officer at t'-is prison camp マho was 12 knovn only as 'Harvard 1 loecause he vas a graduate of Fc.rvard University. He spoke, road and wrote English exceptionally well.

LOPEZ: Q Please give us your full name, age, position and address? A My name is Donald Ingle, age is 27 and ray permanent address is Laurel, Illinois. Q Were you with the United States Array that surrendered at Bataan in April of A Yes. Q At the time of s u r r e n d e r " z yas the state of your health? A Tell,in the first p?i-L of Ape 11 of 1943 I had contracted malaria and it was suG'oectec'. ^hat I had pneumonia, so 1 was sent to the rsar t,o Field Hospital No.In P. bout '-yii nir.utes after ^y arrival there Japanese planes appeal nc. overhead and tcmbpd the hospital on 3 consecutive runs. IITGLE DIRECT 12,611 Q Were you wounded? A I was wounded, well, minorly, in the right shoMder. THS FHEv^IDENT； Did the hospital have Red Cross signs of any kind? THS ^TNEbS: Yes, the hospital was plainly marked. Q V/hat part of the building was marked? A There were several wards and on the top of each of the buildings was a largo rod cross. Q At the time of the actual surrender where were you, please? A I was at -- Just after the bombing a medical officer came by and ask^d if I was seriously wounded. I tola him, "no," and ho ordered me to leave the area. トo, I wandered up the road about a kiloneter to Uc-AFFE Headquarters bivouac area at Kilometer Post 165. Q Were vou in bed when thp first Japanese soldier approached and placed you under arrest? A I was lying on a stretcher under a tree. It vias the only typo of bed available. I was 一一 Q Where were you lying in this stretcher? A In the UfcAFFE bivouac area. Q I saii,»why?" A ェ did have bronchial pneumonia and malaria. My 12,612 IITGLE DIRECT temperature was 105.6. Q What did the Japanese soldier do to you? A The first one that approached prodded rae in the back with a bayonet, ordered me to stand up. Well, I complied with as much alacrity as possible and in the next few ininutrs he took from me my watch, ring and everything in my billfold with tho exception of a couple of pictures which I managed to convince him were those of my mother. Q Did he see that you were plainly sick? A I would say it was comparatively obvious. Q Despite the fact that you were sick were you forced to join the Death March? A Yes. Q How long did it take you to make it? A 9 days. Q During the march did you have food and water provided for you by the Japanese? A For the first five days not a dr.,p of food or water or rest was given by any of the Japanese* Q Whrre did you get your water? A Well, thero were many that didn't get any, many that died that tried to get water. All that was avail- able was froic an occasional artnsian well along the side 25 of the road or possibly a t;arlbou wqII. That water in INGLE DIRECT 12,613 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 the ponds and in the ditches was so polluted that it was highly dangerous to drink and that which came from the artesian wells was of such small amount that when the great numbers of men tried to get it, well, the troops would simply raise their weapons and fire into the group and when the smoke and dust cleared away it was proven that puro water could cause your death as 7i7g11 as polluted water. Q During the first five days how ？/ere you able to manage to get sone food, if at all? A The Filipino civilians tried on many occasions to give food to the mpn that were marching. However, they done so at the risk of their lives and a lot of the！ civilians did lose their lives trying. Other than that,| only an occasional sugar cane patch offered food and even that wr.s at tbe risk of your life, Q How were you treated during the march by the Japanese guards? A Well, even the lack of food could have been stood and I suppose that going without water could have been taken, but a pprson must have rest. But the continued marching and sitting for hours in the hot sun) undergoing search after search by members of the Japanes(; Army, continual harrassing; members, friends, buddies right close being taken out of column and shot or INGLE DIRECT bayonotted for no reason,was a continual strain. 12,615 :I、TGLE DIRECT Q Do you recall a Captsin "67 the name of 一 一 a Chaplain by the namo of Captain Day? A Yg s, he is an Episcopalian Chaplain, I bolievo. Q VIas he with vou du3?ing the march, please? A There vore thousands of men in the march "but t?e ordinarily wore segregated into rjroups of ono hundred, for the convonioncG of the guards, I "ould assume, and Chaplain D aフ a s in tho sc.mo group of one hundred that I was in. Q Will you kindly tell us what hapt)Gned to the Chaplain, Captain Dn.y, during the march? A Wg.11, Chaplain Day had taken a drink from a stream or pond beside tho rosd and had con- trrctod dysentery。 As a result it vias necessary for hin to answer Nature 1 s call sovoral tines every day every f ev; minutes. His usual procedure v/as to step out of line quickly, relieve himself and back into ••ho column. It xias only a m&ttor of a few seconds. On one occasion he followed the same procedure and a Japanese guard nearby spotted him and immediately charged up. 一.. r ell, before the Chaplain could regain bis plcice in ranks the Jspanosc charged and wounded him with his bayonet. 0 After the Chaplain m s ；mounded did you IITGLE DIRECT 12,616 aid him, Mr. Ingle? A エ was one of several that helped to aid him. I personally helped carry him until the next rest period and throughout the following days x?e took turns, tv/o men at a time helping the Chaplain on the march. 0 Could the Japanese guards see マ,ith their own eyes that here is a Chaplain mounded? A Rank or branch of service meant nothing. As I just stated, we were in groups of one hundred r.nd I recall one day very vividly there were sixteen Americans out of the group of one hundred men that I was in 一 一 sixteen of those men v/era taken from the ranks and. bayonet七ed, killed, and left "by the roadside in one'day. Q What I was trying to say to you, Mr. Ingle, vias this : Notwithstending the fact that Cr.ptain Day was bounded, he vc.s made to continue to march and he T/as given no medical treatment; was that it? A Not only wasn't he given an:广 raedical treat- ment but if wg had not been able to assist hira or hadn't assisted hira, then ho, too, would have been left by the roadside because they would not tolerate c?.nyone not "being able to walk。 Q Hov; many C C S G S of killings and bayonettings 12,617 :I、TGLE DIRECT or shootings did マou r.ctual^ see during 七he march?

Q On the 9th day what happened to you and your group? A 讥ell5 we felt pretty relieved on the 9th day "because we m〕re informed we wouldn't walk any more; vie were going to ride. Hovjuver, the relief was relatively short-lived. vr e found that we were to be crowded into the real small Filipino railroad c a r s , 1 0 0 men to the car. Q Could yen give us a rou^h idea of how jcincQd you v^ere in one small car Y;ith 150 persons in? A V 7 ith that many men in one ccr thyre werj a numbor of men that never touched the floor from the beginning of the trip to t he end. Theru were suveral men that fainted frois '1 ̂.ck of air in the back part of thu car, and those men couldn't be tended； they couldn't be given any treatment "because of the close quarters. There was four guards in the car, and they kept the space diructly in front of the doors, and whenever卞tho train stopped at each stop along tue way the Filipino civilians tried to give us food and water, but the gurrds v;o"uld. run u l a 1 e n & s Pratt them away. 12,619 :I、TGLE DIRECT Q Mr. Ingle, on the 27th of May,1942, where were you sent out? A V/el'l,I had been at Camp O'DonneXL from April17 until this date, and I y;as selected along with a detail of 3〇〇腿n to leave on a road-building detail under tlie supervision of the Japanese. •5/G were informed we v/ere being sent to the jungle- infested province of Tayabas to build roads end bridges. Bn route to Tayabas we passed through Pasay, and I had "becorae ill again, and there, along with seventeen other men, I v;cs taken from the detail and replacements were put in our places. Q In the middle of Angust of the seine year did you happen to rieet those people with whom you •were to "be sent out to Tayabas? A Yes. In the intorim of six weeks I had been sent back to Eilitiid, ond thon in August seventy- five men returned from Tayabas from that detail. They v.'ero a deplorable-looking bunch of sick, blind -- some men were being carried on make-shift stretchers, some of them so weak they could hardly walk. Among those seventy-five men were two very close buddies of mine: one, Cheslin, from Los Angeles， whom I served with in the 31s七 Infantry; and c.nother, James Conbs, an air corps m r an, from Crown, Kentucky, These 12,620 INGLE DIRECT men told me of the work that they had been forced to do at Tayabas of building roacls through the jungle, with no shelter, extreme torture, working without food or proper medicine to offset the disease that was eating away at their lives. Q What happened during that period 一一 what became of you? A ” r ell,I guess I had everything that a p r is ori.yr-of- war had . エ "blind, had beri-beri, both "wet and dry, dysentery, pellagra, scurvy, Q Havu you baen ot Nicholes Field Camp and Pasay School Camp? A Yes. Q VJhen? A I went there on June 8 , 1 9 4 3 , and I left about July 15 or 14,1944. Q n that time what, wcs Nicholes Field in relation to military installations of the Japanese in the Philippines? A Well,with the aid of prison labor they were trying to move a mountain to fill in rice paddies to build ？.n air field for their planes to land on. Q Military planes? A Yes. INGLE DIRECT 12,621 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q What was the nature of your work in the field? A , ; r ell,it was of a pick r.nd shovel nature, manual labor work, moving, as I sr.id, a hill to fill the lower regions that were formerly rice paddies. It consisted of loading cars with rocks and dirt and sand, pushing them down tracks about a kilometer long, and naking a runway. Q How many carts were you. required by the Japanese to haul o.nd push a day along that one kilometer stretch? A When エ first went there the number was eleven, c. nd y;hen I left a year later we were getting twenty-three. Q If you couldn't make your daily quota, what would happen to you or any other prisoner there? A We would get about as unmerciful a beating as you ever witnessed. It took place with pick handles, rifle butts, strips of bamboo lashed together, and fists 一一 any sort of club available. Q Was there anyone among the American prisoners- of-war in Nicholes Field that ever escaped a beating? A 丁 ^oii't"try to say outright, but I doubt it very much. Q How about you, Mr. Ingle? 12,622 INGLE DIRECT A w e l l , for an example, the first pert of October I had gotten the dysentery, and I , too, had to answer nature's calls pretty frequently. Well, after a pleasant three-mile or approximately three- mile walk to the field I rsa^v to answer a call again. Soon I went to a straddle-trench area, I would say, off-hand, about forty yards from the Japanese supervisor's field office. There, under the watchful eye of a Japanese sentry, I attended my needs, but while I x-ias there the count took place, and I was counted missing;： even though I was in plain view of the office that meant nothing. So when I "reported back to my group the man in charge, a Japanese called IKODA , or better known to the men as ".wolf," became quite infuriated, H e , along with bis interpreter, a J pc.nese known as ESUMIDA-san, or nicknamed Ned,,,proceeded to give ne a workout, just a simple expedient of making me stand at attention and knocking me down. As soon as I was down it was only a matter of kicking ne a few times cncl I • . g e t up in about fifteen n i n u t e s .エ became almost insensible to pain. My face was quite badly cut, and then エ T. : as dismissed to go to work. Q Do you recall Rjcil S. vr-ge in the camp?

In a few days he beceme so weak and sick that he could hardly make it to the field let alone doing his work after be eot there. On this specific day wben it came time for the noon meal period, Red decided,エ guess, that -- or, at least, he didn't show up to eat his lunch. He stayed out at the track where be worked. m .
