WAR CRIMES,
TERRIBLE DISCLOSURES.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, April 26
A terrible disclosure at the hearing of the evidence or British war prisoners, was the statement that a man was eaten to death by lice at Flave de Martel camp. There was no trace of skin on hie chest which was a huge mass of crawling vermin, causing the German guards to shudder at the sight.— Reuter.
Further evidence against Muller asserts that he wrenched open the mouth of a prisoner supposed to be suffering from diptheria and thrust in hie gloved hand. The man died a few hours afterwards. AU the sick prisoners were Worked until they fell. A bucket of water was then thrown over them and several died after such treatment. When the men did not parade they were chased from their huts at the bayonet point. Muller participated in the chase.
