Crimes
Trial
eight
defendants
on

counts
was
taken
under
advisement
as
the
tribunal
adjourned
Tuesday.
Kiyose
declared
that
the
surrender
such
as
it
was
had
been
made
on
the
understanding
that
there
would
be
no
war
crimes
prosecutions.
In
any
case,
the
surrender
had
been
only
by
the
Army
and
did
not
apply
to
either
the
government
or
the
people.
The
chief
prosecutor
said
that
the
argument
of
the
defence
was
the.
"height
of
absurdity.""
The
surrender
had
most
certainly
been
unconditional.
