TELLS OF TWO HANGINGS. { Ex-Soldier Writes Watson of Exe- cution, But Is Uncertain of Trial. By the Associated Press, LOWELL Mass, December 10.— Anthony Mello of Lowell, a former member of the 63rd Engineers with the American expeditionary forces, said today| that he saw two men hanged in France and had written a letter to that effect to Senator Watson of Georgia. Mello's name was mentioned yes- terday at Washington by the senator ] before the senatorial committee which ‘is investigating charges that Ameri- | can sotdiers overseas were hung wit- | jout trial. Mello said he did not! |know whether the men he saw hanged | | had prevoiusly been court martialea. | He added that he was ready to go to Washington to testify. Mello asserted that he and other| doughboys witnessed the hangings. | “I saw two Americans hanged at| camp President Wilson, a small! jcasual camp outside Is-Sur-Telle,” | he said. “One of them was a negro| named John Cathey. The other was | Claire Blodgett, a white man from | Spokane, Washirigton. I don’t know ‘what crimes they comumitted.” { TELLS OF BRUTALITIES. Ex-Private Says Sick Man Shot and Smoker Bayonetted. By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Ga., December 10.—A private soldier was shot to death by a corporal for lagging in his work because he was ill and another bay- onetted in the leg for smoking a cigarette in a bath house at Camp i Wheeler, Ga., according to a state- ment today by ex-Private Marion J. Wallis, mentioned by Senator Thomas E. Watson in connection with his charges of Army brutality. The corporal, Wallis said, court-martialed, = acquitted, promoted to sergeant and given a thirty-day furlough. The incidents occurred in 1918 at Camp Wheeler, where Wallis was. stationed with the 31st Division. He also served with the b6th Georgia regiment on the Mexican border. He is now a rehabilitation student at the University of Georgia and is drawing compensation for disability which prevented his going overseas. Wallis spoke with feeling of the incidents he described and declared that he would gladly pay his own expenses to Washington to appear before the Senate investigating com- mittee and testify in regard to those and other instances of alleged bru- tality. Harley was the name of the private Wallis says was shot and he named the corporal as a man now running a grocery store in Atlanta. “I know enough to break the neck of at least one officer and possibly more,” he declared to reporters. He refused to divulge the name of the officer. — Mrs. Berta Davis Pullen, the new clerk of the city court of Valdosta, Ga., is the first woman in her county to hold public_office. = — Gl fcille, 01d-Fashioned CANDIES, 58¢ Lb. om, 908 14th NW. ., When You Need a PLUMBER —you usually swant him quick What we wish to emphasize is the fact that “Colbert Service” is 100 per_cent efficient—on any kind of a PLUMBING, TINNING or HEATING job—large or stall—and our prices are always consistently reasonable. {When you have any REPAIRS to be made call us up—test our service.
