Ex-Korea POW Tells of Seeing
Sergeant Murder Fellow Captive
New York (UP.) The lead
(er of anti-Communist American
prisoners of war testified today
that Sgt. James C. Gallagher,
23, murdered a fellow captive
by beating him, suspending him
from a hook on a wall and
throwing him from a shelter in
the cold Korean winter.
The witness was Sgt. Lloyd W.
Pate, 23, Augusta, Ga., who tes
tified at the court martial of
q Gallagher, a Brooklyn soldier
charged with the "unpremediat
ed murder" of fellow prisoners
in a Korean prison camp. Gal
lagher is the first POW charged
with murder.
Pate said he did not know the
victim and later was unsuccess
ful in trying to learn his ident
ity. He said the alleged murder
5 occurred in March, 1951, in pris
on camp No. 5 in North Korea.
Blotrt and Groans
"A group of us were standing
outside a barracks when inside
we heard a voice say 'Get the
hell out of my way. Damn it
when I tell you to move that's
what I mean," Pate testified.
"We heard blows and groans."
He said the five went to the
window and looked in. They saw
Gallagher picking the man up
"very roughly," Pate said.
"He brought the man up to
his body, slung him over his
shoulder, and took him over to
Street Trash Pickup
Asked by Department
A request by the city street
department that residents not
place trash in the streets was re
ported today by City Manager
Robert Duff.
Lawn clippings, sod and other
rubbish must be picked up by
0 hand. Duff said. The danger of
solid objects being mixed in
with the trash is great, and
ithere has been considerable
damage to the sweeper equip
ment in thi past" through trying
to remove trash piles containing
such objects, he added.
The requests results from dis
continuing a special man and
'truck from the street department
'p do that work. Due to the
Change, residents have been re
CQ'Jested; to remove debris from
Jn front of their property them
.'elves. i
the corner and hung him up."
"What did he hang him on?"
trial counsel Maj. J. J. Jenkins
asked.
"A peg, a steel peg."
"Describe what you continued
to see," Jenkins said.
"Gallagher stood there and
laughted at the man and said
'Damn it when I tell you to move
that's what I mean."
"I turned away and got sick
at my stomach."
Says Man Was Dead
"Did you get a good look at
this man who was hung up?"
Jenkins asked.
"I've seen a great many dead
men and that man was dead,"
Pate said emphatically.
Pate testified that Gallagher
a short time later went back to
the man, lifted up his head and
looked at him, then picked him
up and threw him out the door
of his barracks. Pate said he
later was a member of a detail
which took the victim and sev
eral others to Book Hill for bur
ial. Throughout Pate's testimony,
Gallagher's expression remained
unchanged. He sat watching the
witness, occasionally blinking
his eyes and whispering in an
aside to his defense counsel.
Another witness, Billy Evans,
31, Rector, Ark., testified that
he found the frozen bodies of
two other POWs, Cpl. Donald T.
Baxter of Waukon, la., and Cpl.
John William Jones, Detroit, ly
ing outside a barracks at the
camp in February, 1951. Gal
lagher is charged with their murders.
Girl Stowaway Taken Into
Custody by Agents of FBI
Long Beach, Calif. (U.R) A
16-year-old Hawaiian girl who
hid aboard a Canadian destroyer
and caused a "bloody nuisance"
faced arraignment today before
a U.S. commissioner on stow
away charges.
The adventurous girl, Jocelyn
Pilapil, of Hilo, Hawaii, was
tfcken into custody yesterday by
FBI agents who met the destroy
er Athabaskan at the Long
Beach breakwater.
"I had a wonderful trip and
a wonderful time," she said. "I'd
like to do it over again."
Nice Little Girl
Lt. Cmdr. Charles H. David
son, skipper of the ship, said
Jocelyn was "rather a nice little
girl." However, he added "we
all thought she was a bloody nui
sance." Jocelyn, a former beauty con
test entrant, stowed away on the
destroyer eight days ago at an
open house in Hilo harbor. She
hid in a spare parts bin and
ate emergency rations she found
there.
The girl was not discovered
until the destroyer was 24 hours
at sea, Davidson said. She was
assigned a room vacated by the
navigating officer and placed
under the care of a ship's chap
lain. Richardson said Joselyn cheer
fully pitched in to work in the
psntry, washing dishes and
helping to prepare the officers'
food. She was confined to her
room from dusk to dawn.
"They treated me like a boy
and dubbed me 'Butchie'," she
said. "I left home because of
family trouble and I don't want
to say anything that will hurt
my parents."
Won't Discuss 'Bill'
Asked about a lipstick-scrawled
no'te she left her mother
which referred to "Bill" and a
"baby," the girl said she
wouldn't discuss "Bill."
'I wrote the note because I
felt my parents would let me
go if they thought I was going
to have a child," she said. 'But
I am not going to have a child."
She said she stoved away for
the excitement.
"I thought it would be fun. I
also wanted to see my aunt and
uncle in San Francisco (Mr. and
Mrs. John Dias) and to see Bill."
