DAIREN INTERVIEW
JULY 3.
DAIREN, JU
"THEY MADE A FUSS” WAS THE EXCUSE ADVANCED BY ONE OF THE FOREIGNERS RE- SPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOCKING SHENG AN EPISODE.
Reuter's correspondent was the first newspaper man to be permitted to interview Gautschi and Müller, the last of the five buccaneers to be arrested. They were caught by a Japanese police officer while descend- ing a knoll at the back of Dairen. They were heading for the city after hiding for twenty-eight hours in the grass and bushes:
Gautschi, when interviewed, admitted his part in the terrible affair.
"Yes, I killed some Chinese," he said. "I don't know how many; I didn't kill Captain Vikhman.”
"We threw all the corpses overboard. The shoot- ing lasted, maybe, ten minutes. We only wanted to scare them, but they made a fuss and the only thing was to bump 'em off.
We had planned the piracy since last year. We wanted to sell the ship with her cargo at Valparaiso although we had no prospective purchaser.
"After the killing, I started feeling funny but was too late."
