Under cross-examination at yesterday's War Crimes Trial of Lieut. Sazuki Nobuo, Lieut. Talara Iwao, Sgt. Major, Furuo Tatsuo and Sgt. Nakajima Mitoshi, Major Cross stated that the only regulations about which POWS knew anything were those dictated by the. Japanese Authorities and which laid down the time which POWS were to get up, eat, work, put on shoes or clogs and salute or bow.. to the Japanese.
Witness also said that he did not know that Furuo carried a stick because there were a lot of snakes about.
