that two soldiers were hanged at Is-

war, declared he saw Major Ople shoot
a soldier. ,
"While in a dugout with three com
rades and four German prisoners,"
said Smith, "I saw Major Ople take a
gun and deliberately shoot a man. The
man Ople shot was William Woolw intJ.

What was said before the shoot-

"Not a word was passed. Major Ople
gave no reason."
"How many shots were fired?"
"One, it hit Woolwlne in, the chest.
Ho was dead when we picked him up."

Major Ople declared ho never shot
a runner as charged or demanded that
a runner stop and deliver order's. "I
hnvo absolutely nothing to conceal,"
he said.
Chairman Brandegee, calling atten

Smith's letter and testimony as to the
dugout shooting, asked which was cor

said.
Osborn Ellison ot Pulaski, Va., men

dugout with him at tho timo of tho
Woolwlne shooting, declared ho waa

shoot any soldier, was not with Smith

"I can definitely state that, as the

"I take full responsibility for mak

"The decision will likely be taken late
