C'liiirgrs, Made by Senutor Wutson, of Summary Executions Are DeclaretT Fulse. "WASHINGTON, D. tX Dec. 8. Rec ords of the war department on the legal execution of 11 members of the American expeditionary force were presented today to H senate investi gating committee by way of denial of charges that scores of soldiers had been hanged without trial. Out of consideration for the families of the dead, the names were omitted. Read by Colonel W. E. Bethel, Gen eral Pershing's Judge advocate-general in France: the records showed that those executed Included eight negroes, two whites and an Indian. Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia, whose presentation of the charges in the senate led to the investigation, appeared before the committee today. Ho declared he was prepared to prove the charges and submitted affidavits, newspaper clippings and letters, dinners Declared False. Colonel Bethel declared with era hasis that the charges were false. Senator Watson is expected to pre sent tomorrow as witnesses a list of ex-service men and others, including a prisoner at Fort Leavenworth, who claimed to have direct knowledge In support of the charge that there had been wholesale execution of soldiers without the right of trial. In naming places in France at which the tl men were hanged Colonel Bethel, under cross-examination by Senator Watson, mentioned Gievres, at which, according to in formation given the senator by ex soldiers, several men were executed. Colonel Behtel denied that Amer ican soldiers had been hanged after conviction by a French military court, asserting: that under the articles of war, jurisdiction was vested solely In the American army. Intimation Is Ilrond. There was a rather broad intima tion that it might be necessary to divulge the names of the soldiers executed, because 'of the belief in the minds of some investigators that soldiers with stories of "wholesale hangings" might have been confused after seeing or hearing of the hang ing of those found guilty and sen tenced by military court. General Pershing, as the supreme commander on foreign soil, approved the court findings in the cases of thtj 11 men hanged and refused to ap prove the findings in 11 other cases carrying the death sentence. Altogether, 62 men were sentenced to death, but Colonel Bethel declared only 11 were executed. Most of the crimes were against women and children. One of the white soldiers hanged was convicted of mur dering another soldier and the other was found guilty of attacking an 8-year-old Belgian girl. A French professor was murdered while trying to protect an old woman and th father of a girl was killed by two negroes as he fought against great odds to save her. .Milking of Charge Denied. FARGO. N. D., Dec. 8. Dwlght B. Jones, son of Dr. D. W. Jones of Devils Lake, N. D-. mentioned in a Washington dispatch today as having told the elder Jones of the execution of a negro soldier in France without court-martial, today said he did not remember having given his father uch information and that if he did ho had no firs-hand knowledge of such an incident. iBERLIN ADMITS DEAL ON Government Is Conducting Credit Negotiations in Britain.
