Girard To Receive Discharge By Army To Fort Sheridan And Quick Discharge CHICAGO (UP) — Pvt. William S. Girard, 22, convicted slayer of a Japanese woman on a military rifle range, arrives here today for quick transfer to Ft. Sheridan, 111., and discharge from the Army. His brother, Louis, Ottawa, 111., and Louis* wife, Shirley, planned to be on hand when the young GI who touched off an international incident returns to his home state with his doll-faced Japanese bride, the former Hftru (Candy) Sueyama, 30. Girard’s train was to arrive at Dearborn Station here this afternoon where his brother was expected to meet him, then drive him to Ft. Sheridan. Their mother, Louis said, probably would be unable to make the trip to Chicago due to a nervous condition. William's arrival in San Francisco Monday was marked by a show of hostility as he disembarked from the Navy transport Anderson and set foot on American soil again. A chorus of boos went up from 600 soldiers lining the railing of the transport and from 75 onlookers at the pier. Girard defiantly snapped back at the jeerers, “Yeah, you too.” The incident which triggered an international controversy began last Jan. 30 on a military firing range in Japan. Girard, whom Army authorities said was on duty at the time, fired an expended cartridge case at Mrs. Naka Sakai, an elderly scrap picker, killing her. A protest immediately went up from the Japanese press, insisting on Japan's right to try the youthful GI. In America, the incident provoked wide discussion of the status of forces treaties, and brought demands from some groups that such agreements with foreign nations be terminated. The U.S. Supreme Court finally decided Japan had jurisdiction over the Gl’s offense and released him to civil authorities for trial. A three-man Japanese court convicted Girard Nov. 19, describing his action as a “childish whim.” Sentence, however, was suspended. and, in the absence of a demand for retrial by either defense or prosecution lawyers, Girard was’ freed to go home.
