the Communists demanded the
consul general sign a statement
that they boarded "safely and
without molestation."
Ward balked: He said he
wouldn't sign until all members
o( his party were brought onto
the ship. But they were held on
' the tug on which they had been
brought Irom Tientsin.
Finally, Ward signed and all 19
came aboard.
Capt. Paul Sexton of the Lake
land also was forced to sign a
statement for the reds. In it he
"assumed full responsibility" for
the entire group and their be
longings. - Ward declared flatly that hU
Indictment and conviction basis
for red expulsion of his group
was a travesty. He was charged
with beating a Chinese employe.
Four aides were convicted of
similar charges. '
- A red radio broadcast said all
'five confessed.
Ward didn't even know on what
charge he was Jailed until "a poor
English translation" of an Indict

"No Chinese employee was
beaten, despite the fact the prose

"If I'd hit him three times (In
the left eye, as charged) he'd

None of the accused members
of his staff was physically man
handled or maltreated during
