Girard Disappeared
Following Killing,
Witness Declares
Camp Weir, Japan 1? One
of the key prosecution witnesses
testified Wednesday that Wil
liam S. Girard disappeared short
ly after he shot and killed a
Japanese woman shell scaven
ger last Jan. 30 in a case that
has become an international in
cident. The latest testimony cams
against the backprop of a new
tempest caused before the trial
opened when Judge Yuzo Ka
wachi, senior jurist of the three
man Meabashi district court, in
dicated at least to Japanese
newsmen present that the Ot
awa, 111., soldier may be let off
with a light sentence.
"I don't think it was deliber
ate murder," Kawachi said.
The star witness was Hidet
sugu Onozeki, a 29-year-old far
mer who was with Mrs. Naka
Sakai, the victim of Girard's
fire, at the time of the shoot
ing. A first shot fired by Gir
ard he claims it was a warn
ing shot barely missed Ono
zeki. Testimony Detailed
Onozeki testified in great de
tail about the shootingd uring
the morning session of the court
which was held partly in a tent
and partly under umbrellas on
the hill at the camp's inacti
vated firing range where the
shooting occurred. Rain started
at mid-morning, forcing the
court to meet under umbrellas.
Bareheaded and humble, Ono
zeki testified that Girard ran to
Mrs. Sakai when she fell, shook
her and yelled, "Mama-san, Ma-ma-san."
But, he said, by the
time a medic arrived to find
her dead, Girard was nowhere to
be seen.
