Mr. Weokn then reviewed "tho fur

vit by Kanuiel 1-opg ol'Taterson, N. 11.,
nlleglng that he saw a private soldier
killed by a sergeant with a bayonet
because ho was a conscientious objec
tor nnd refused to carry a gun.
Two other affidavits or a similar
character were presented.
"So we see." Senator Watson said,
"threo Instances where privates woer
killed by their superiors without pro
vocation and without trial."
Kenneth C. Hobins-m of Washing

a private suspended by tho wrists from

"Can you give us an Instance where
a private soldier was arbitrarily
hanged?" Chairman Hrandegee asked.
"Yes, I expert to get to that as fast
as I can," Senator Watson replied.
The inquiry then drifted into
charges of sleallng by soldiers.
"I understand we went over to save
France, not to pillage her," said Chair
man Hrandegee, to which Senator
Watson replied human nature often
went wrong when a man was hungry.
Senator Overman, democrat, North
Carolina, read an order by American
military authorities In France for pub
lic horsewhipping of men guilty of

that sort of crime. ,
Writing from Devil's Lake, N. D.,
Dr. W. D. June.t, In n letter to Senator

The negro, according to the doctor's
son. gave money to a French girl, and
on her refusal to return it, he took it
forcibly. For this, it was alleged, the
negro was hanged.
It dovoloped that young Jones be
