They will be arraigned next Friday and their trial will begin in about a month, Chief Prosecutor Joseph Keenan said. In discussing the case, Keenan “Let us strip these men of the glamor that seems to have sur- rounded them because of their eonnection with their atrocious warfare and regard them for what they are—plain murder- ers.” He said further that, judging from the evidence he had ob- tained in investigating the cases against the 28, he will be able prove at the trial that they disregarded international law in the brutal type of war they con- ducted.
