Overlooks Attu
The ground overlooks the area
In which the village of Attu
formerly was located. The vil
lage consisted of a few buildings
and a church.
A few days ago, the navy re
ported that all the structures ex
cept one building and the church
have been destroyed. Apparent
ly the destruction which resulted
in today's official report that all
have now been wiped out was
centered on the church and the
lone unidentified building, both
of which were used by the
enemy.
Stimson said in his discussion
that the army troops on Attu are
making steady progress, with
heavy enemy losses. .
Clear weather would greatly
accelerate the operations, Stim
son said. For the past week the
troops have pushed their way
forward gradually through sleet
and snow, while fog has impeded
air support operations. Much of
the fighting has been by small
patrols using bayonets and hand
grenades to seize the passes in
the hills. ;

After the Worden street

was recounted in court by Dis
trict Attorney L. O. Sisemore.
Echer, himself, was shot by
Assistant Police Chief Orville

It was stated by authorities
then that Hamilton shot when
Echer lowered his hands after
getting out of the car.
Echtr't Story
Echer, however, told the court
that he came out with his hands
up and kept them up until one
of the officers called him a
name and hit him in the face
with the butt of a gun. If he
dropped his hands, he said, it
was then.
He said he was shot in the
back at that moment.
Sisemore said four officers
were on hand at the time and
Hamilton was behind Echer
when the latter allegedly drop
ped his hands. Echer has been
