Washington Has Letters That Will Prove It, He Sayjj Washington, Oct. 22.—Senator Poindexter of Washington read to the senate a letter from Dr, T. 11. Howard of St. Louis, stating that a brother of Sergt. A. B. Cole of East Liverpool, O„ who served with the Cana.dian forces in France, had affidavits to prove the widely circulated story that the sergeant was crucified upon a door with German bayonets. Senator Poindexter produced the letter during a speech criticizing the committee on public information which he said was seeking to spread the belief that German atrocities have been discontinued. The committee recently denied the crucifixion story.
