69
Canadian

are
on
trial
before
a
United
States
army
military
commission.
The
four
defendants
are
also
charged
with
torturing
and
abusing
a

of

Heading
the
four
accused
Is
I

Cross
supplies,
lieutenant
in
the
Japanese
army,
charged,
with
contributing
to
the
deaths
of
Canadians
and
with
maltreating
others.
The
brutalities
alleged
to
have
been
inflicted
on
prisoners
under
his
control
earned
Yoshida
the
reputation
of
being
one
of
the
most
hard-boiled
of
all
Japanese
camp
commanders.
According
to
the
record,
the
crimes
of
which
he
Is
accused
took
place
from
August,
1943,
to
February;
1944.
During
that
time,
there,
were
69
deaths
resulting
from

of

others.
There
were
several
other
deaths
shortly
after
Yoshlda's
departure,
for
which
he
Is
also
being
held
re
sponsible.
It
is
charged
that

compelled
Canadian

to
be
quartered
In
a
hut
unsafe
for
human
habitation,
which
col
lapsed
on
or
about
January

1944,
causing
the

of
eight

Allied

that
he
tortured
one
Canadian
by
holding
a
shovelful
of
redrhot
coals
within
a
few
inches
of
his
chin;
and
that
he
compelled
two
other
prisoners
to
walk
to
and
from
the
camp
to
the
Rinko
coal
docks
in
their
bare
feet,
which
contributed

WERE
REFUSED

Takahashl,
It
is
alleged,
not
only
refused
medical
attention
to
Allied
prisoners
of
war,
but
forced
the
sick,
weak
and
under-nourished
to
do
hard

and
other
supplies
in
tended
for
the
benefit
of,
Allied
prisoners.
The
falsification
of
numerous
death
certificates
also
is
attributed
to
Takahashl.
Sato
Is
described
in
the
charges
as
a
ruthless
task-master
who
visited
his
cruelty
upon
any
prisoner
who
afforded
him
the
slightest
provocation.
It
is
charged
that
while
working
the'
sick
and
weary
prisoners
of
war
at
the
Rinko
coal
docks
In
Nllg-
ata
he
often
satisfied
a
sadis
tic
urge
to
torture
his
helpless
victims.
Sato
also
is
accused
of
stealing
Red
Cross
supplies.
Okuda
Is
accused
of
having
stolen
the
meager
rations
intended
for
the
prisoners,
there
by
contributing
to
the
sickness,
disease,
and
death
of
many.
The
prisoners
called
Okuda
"Short

"Pee
Wee,"
"Little
Caesar,"
and.
"Slap
Happy."
The
death
of
Rifleman
James
Mortimer
of

Is
cited
as
one
of
the
worst
ex
amples
of
the
brutalities
