The Japs own nume for Lt. Little wa: ‘Little Lord’ (Skoshi Dono).” Evidence 2iso showed that Little even used tae Japanese language in addressing American prisoners. Ap- parently he got along so well with the Japs that, around Christmas 1944, the Japanese ofiicers gave a special dinner for him. While Pvt. William Knight, one of the men beaten to death, had a bad record for theft, other Ameri- can prisoners resented the fact that Little turned him over to the Jap- anese. The men " had their own kangaroo courts to maintain disci- pline among themselves Here are some of the affidavits pertaining Little used in the Yokohama trials of Fukuhara and Uri, which are a matter of court record and therefore privileged to STORY OF JAPAN TALITY Edgar Van In Wagen, Pomeroy, Ohio: “Private Knight was tortured and starved to death. Knight stole some buns cut of the galley. The next morning Lt. Little, Navy, Am- erican camp commander, announc- ed this fact to us and stated that he was going to turn Knight in to the Japanese, which he did. I saw the Japanese guards beat Knight with their fists and clubs. They would beat him about thirty min- utes at a ume, twice a day. The beatings lasted for about fifteen days during which time they reviv- BRU- ed him with celd water between beatings “In some of the series of beat- ngs he passed out two or three times and the Japanese guards would revive him and continue the beating. Knight was not fed during the fifteen days of torture. Four or five times hLe was suspended by ropes tied tn his fingers, feet off the ground, and left that way for eral hcurs. On one occasion they suspended him by his fingers out- side of the gvardhouse where I and all the prisoners could see him. Al- ter 15 days of this treatment Knight died and I helped bury him. Floyd Jay Dudley, Jr., 2932 East 30th St, Kaasas City, Mo.: “James Pavlokos was starved to death in December 1943. He had been turned over to the Japs by Lt. Little for punishment. I asked Lt. Little for the reason he had done it. Lt. Lit- tle said he would do it agzin if he and where the | immediately had to, and said Pavlokos had it ccming to him.” Maj. Thomas H. Hewlett, New Albany, Ind.: “I was a prisoner of war at Fukuoka No. 17 from Aug- ust 1943 until September 1945. Dur- |ing by internment at this camp I was senior medical officer. On or about December 23, 1943, Cpl. | James G. Paviokos of the 4th Mar- ine Regt. was turned over to the ‘ apanese by Lt. Senior Grade E. IN. Little, USN, for stealing. Cpl. Pavlokos was put in the guard- house without food or water. He remained alive until Jan. 28, 1944, at which time he died ot starvation. I saw his dead body after he had |died and T would estimate his weight at aoout 55 pounds. He was normally a man of about 170 | pound. “Fourth Arerican execuiion, Pvt. William N. Knight, 6983666, U. S |Army. He was turned over to the Japanese on or about May 5, 1945 by Lt. E. N. Little, Lieutenant Sen- ior Grade. Knight had been guilty of stealing buns in the mess. hall. He was confined in the guardhouse and subjectec. to repeated beatings and all the forms of torture that could be devised by the guards on duty. This man died on May 20th. Body was in a state of extreme emaciation. Post-mortem autopsy was not permitted. It is felt that this man died of starvation with possibly secondary pneumonia.” John R. Tassey, Jr., 305 5th Av- enue, Brownsville, Pa.: “In May 1945 Pvt. Willlam Knight was turn- ed in to the Japanese by Lt. Little, USN for having stolen some rolls. Lt. Little made the statement at the time that he hoped the Japs beat Knight to death. That is ex- actly what happened.” Francis Eldon Bell, Rt. 3, Box 2637, Sacramento, Calif.: “Knight was accused by Lt. Little (USN) ot stealing food from the prisoners’ galley. This was the second time he had been so accused, and Lt Little turned him over to the Jap- anese. The next day I saw Knight out in front of the jail and his face was badly beaten, covered with cuts and blood. During the following days I saw him several times, kneeling on bamboc rods, and the guards beat him occasionally with belts. His legs were ulcerated and because of pus drainage he was kept outdoors most of the time. He kept getting thin- ner as he didn't get food or water untii he died about June 20, 1945. 1 last saw him the night before he died, iying i the mud and rain in tront o1 the jail” Orville K. vox, Cpl. ASN 3709198, Black Springs, Ark.: “In May, 1945 an American prisoner-of-war nam- ed Knight was caught stealing bread from che American prisoners’ kitchen. An American Na Lieu- tenant named Little, who was in charge of the kitchen, turned Knight over to the Japanese for punishment. “Knight was taken to the guard- house and pcaten severely. He was made to kneel for hours and then stand and held up a heavy timber until he coliapsed from fatigue. Us- ually at night when it was cold, the Jap guards would pour water on him while he was naked, kneeling or standing in the yard in front of the guardhouse. I heard that while his body was wet, an electric wire was put around his neck and the power turned on just enough to burn him. He was beaten while holding up the timber and also while he was kneeling.” Frank F. Yellen, 473 Hall Avenue, Perth Amboy, N. J.: “A private Knight was caught stealing buns from the mess hall." A Lt. Little turned him over to the Japanese. That night s we were lining up to go to work in the coal mines, I saw the Japanese guards take Knight's clothes off, pcur water on him, and ‘ 34.
