Gunner's Evidence In Major Boon's Trial
London, Sept. 4.
The evidence of Gnr Samuel Bevan in the Major Cecil Boon court martial here today revealed that Bevan and the other prisoners were up- graded medically without being seen. Bevan characterised the medical examinations in
the camp as a farcé.
Replying to questions by the Japaneso colonel on Boon's in- Judge Advocate, Wing Com-structions, and sent to the camp mander Oliver Barnett, Bovanj commandant's office. Cushley said the diaries confiscated by also apoke of a poultry farm Major Boon during searches in started in the camp to provide Shamehuipo wore hunded over eggs for the hospital. "There to the Japanese interpreter. So were always 20 egga put aside far as he could recolleet the for the Japanese staff." he said. diaries and books were the only "Boon gave me instructions to do things confiscated.
this". He added that he heard Boon say to a Japanese inter- preter that the officera were the cause of all the trouble in the camp and they led men astray. Boon apologised to the Japaneso for all the trouble the officers enused.
The ninth witness for the prosecution, George Frederick Robert Huxhum, formerly # sapper in the Royal Engineers, said he was an orderly in Major Boon's office and Boon told him to report any incidents on the working parties, the passing of notes to sentries or other com- munications by the prisonera to the outside world.
д
He made one report to Boon on n working party, and also Hongkong reported seeing Volunteer pass a piece of paper to a sentry. So far as he know Boon did nothing about it.
Boon told him also to watch all lorries to see whether mes- sages were passed. "I did not Ree any messages as I disliked the job and stayed in my room", said Huxham.
"I gave Boon false reports."
Passing Remarks In cross examination Mr. G. O. Slade, the defence counsel showed Huxham two documents which he agreed were in his handwriting. Ono of these stated that A Sgt Meyers "started passing remarks which were not favourable," and added that remarks were made auch as, "snivelling, snooping stooge", This, Huxham explained, applied not to himaclf but to any of the runners.
The other document read by Mr. Slade stated: "I watched all the lorries coming into the camp.
Cushley Bald Boon' told on- other officer that the officers at the camp were "a lot of incom- petent bastards", and called the "old grannies" who officers could not carry out any orders without questions.
Boon's Talk He also heard Boon say that'
carried no the major's crown
and that the only authority thing that had any weight was a Japanese armband with the Insignia of the rising sun
Cushley 'contended that Boon once said: "I do not look upon myself as a British officer: I am a Japanese."
Replying to Mr. Slade, Cushley agreed that after there had been an abstraction from certain prisoners' parcels, he and some others consumed what was left and that the only one who had the decency not to take part in the theft was Boon."
The court adjourned until tomorrow-Reuter.
SPAIN'S REQUEST REJECTED
All were found to be i Eirc, correct. There was nothing to report on other quarters about the camp."
Mr. Slade then asked: "Did you make another written re- port to Boon that you heard Webber say to another Capt. prisoner that he would so to it that he never left the camp ulive."
