Questioned by American oliicials, Tojo said he coUld not recall dates and other imporcant details of events during his period of office. He claimed that his amnesia was carised by his attempted snicide on September 11, 1945. American ohicials beiieve Tojo's amnesia is feigned, but this is denied by Tojo's principal defence lawyer, Dr. Ichiro Kiyose, who said that Tojo's memory was so had that he had rclied on a series of note books, but the books were destroyed, presumably when the Wjir Ministry was bombed. Dr. fUyose added that when a man depends on notes as much as Tojo does he is lost without them. The correspondent reports that Tojo is in good health, and quite cairn, in contrast with his former depressed attifcude, but is convinced that he will ncver lea,vo prison alive.
