Dool It lie's three martyred Tokyo raider* were crucified and shot by their Japanese cap-' tors on Det. 15, 1942. in a Shanghai graveyard still red with the blood of a thousand slaughtered Chinese. Today I «»w the airmen's place of execution near the old Klangwan race track and learned for the first lime the detailed story of how they met death that Octoiler )lay. Ten families of Chinese peasants were frightened witnesses to ’ •he somber parade of captured I Chinese patriots brought Info the old confucian eemetery to die | under the headman's ax. They saw the three Istund i American filers brought in at th* ••nd of the procession, and watch ed ns tin* Japanese tie*| them to ; three low crosses. They saw the Japanese axes brandished over the heads of a thousand kneelinc Chin***** ai*l tin* firing squad line up before th** doomed Americans. Then thev were herded Into a temple building until the slaughter wu« finished, so there would be no actual witnesses to the mass executions. The three murdered fliers, "guilty" of Itomblng the Japanese homeland just six months before, were Lt. William G. Farrow, of Washington ami Darlington. R.C.; I,t. Dean Hallmark, Dallas, Tex., and Sgt. Harold A. Spatx, la-bo. Kb*. After the shooting, their bodies were rut down from the crude crosses and hauled off to a crematorium in the llonkew section of Shanghai to l>e burned.

To him had been entrusted tbe key which unlocked the vault* and safe* containing the money* and securities of the bank. In the safe a Urge package of United States bonds, never waled, was kept as a favor to a wealthy depositor. One day the owner found that a certain bond was missltig. He reported It to the president who in turn called the young man and a*«k*d for an explanation. Tin* young man said. “The oweer is laboring under a mlaapprw- , hi*nsion. I can not believe that he would willingly accuse me falsely. There are but two alteraatlvely either he is In error or 1 am a thief It is for you to decide. What Is your decision?" The president replied, "I have watched your course m the hank. I have studied your character I am absolutely certain that It would lx* impiwsible for you to take the bond. It is possible that the owner Is mistaken. Give yourself no concern about It." in due time It was found that 1 tbe owner had sold the mU-lug bond ami had forgotten almut it.
