私、伍長德ハ次ノ通リ證言致シマス
"I am 38 years old and am a food merchant in the city of Nanking, China. In December 1937 and for a number of years prior to that time I was a policeman in the city of Nanking. I was never a member of the Chinese Army. After the fall of the city of Nanking I along with some three hundred other policeman at the Judical Yuan. We were not armed as all of our arms hsd been turned over to the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone. The Judical Yuan was a refugee camp and there were many civilians there in addiction to the policeman. On Dec. 15, 1937 the Japsnese soldiers came to the Judicial Yuan and ordered all the man there to go with them. Two members of the International Committee told the Japanese that we were not former soldiers but they ordered those two men away and forced us to march to the main west gate of the city.

"When we got there we were ordered to sit down just inside the gate. Machine guns were set up by the Japanese soldiers just outside of and on either side of the gate. There is a canal outsude this gate and a steep slope leading down to it. Their is a bridge across the canal but it is not dirsctly opposite the gate.
"These persons in groups of over one hundred at a time were forced to go through the gate st the point of bayonets. As they went outside they were shot with machine guns and thei bodies fell along the slope and into the canal. Those who were not killed by the machine gun fire were stabbed by the bayonets by the Japanese soldiers. About sixteen groups each containing more than 100 persons had been forced through the gate ahead of me and these persons were killed.

"When my group of something over 100 was ordered to go though the gate I ran as fast as I could and fell forward just before the machine guns opened fire, and was not hit by machine gun bullets and a Japanese soldier came and stabbed the bayonet in my back. I lay still as if dead. The Japanese threw some gasoline on some of the bodies and set them afire and left. It was then beginning to get dark. The bodies scattered along the bank and no gasoline was

thrown on me. When I saw the Japanese soldiers had left I climbed out from among the dead bodies and went into a vacant house where I stayed for 10 days. Some one near there sent me a bowl of porridge each day. I then made my way into the city and went to the University stayed in the hospital for more than 50 days and when I got out I went to my native home in Northern Kiangsu. On the occasion I have described around two thousand persons former policeman and civilians were killed.
