JAPS MASSACRE MANTj
KOREANS IN CHfRCH
(Continued from page Foul)
They were mostly women, sofiie old,
others young mothers with babies but
all sunk in the dull apathy of abject
misery and despair. Mr. Underwood
an American missionary who talked
to them in their owift language, brought
the story of what had happened.
“The day before we arrived soldiers
came to the village and ordered all
the male Christians to gather at the
church. When about 30 were in the
church the soldiers opened fire on
them with rifles and then enterei the
church and finished them with swords
and bayonets. Afterwards they set fire
to the church and to houses which
otherwise would not have been
burned.”
. One Korean told the correspondent
he was alive because he was not a
Christian and was not in the church.
Later when the correspondent made
a second trip to Cheam-ni, with Mr.
Royds, the British consul and a party
of seven including several mission
aries, he said, “we photographed
freely without interference but when
we started 'to talk to the natives a
policeman woujd saunter up and the
Korean would ‘freeze up.’ They were
in fear of what might happen later if
they were seen talking to us.”
The party, however, divided up and
obtained many interviews concerning
the story as the correspondent learned
it on his first visit. They were told
that two of those killed in or near the
church were women who went to that
building to learn what was happening
to their husbands.
The party headed by the British
consul then visited Soochun and found
the village had been burned. The Kor
eans told the visitors that they were
awakened in the night by finding their
homes on fire. When they ran out they
were struck with swords, and bayon
eted or shot. None were killed but
several were wounded, and we saw
one man whose arm had been laid
open with a sword. A church and
thirty houses had been burned here
but no attempt had been made to clean
up the others.
The Rev. Stacy L. Roberts an ,
American Presbyterian missionary sta
tioned at Pyeng Yang has issued a
statement asserting that more than
100 Koreans were shot or beaten to
death in Tyung-Ju and a church there
i was burned by Japanese.
In another village eight miles, away
another Christian church and a^tiad
....
>my of boys were burned by Japanese r
soldiers after the contents such as
benches, stoves anil mats were carried
iway and put to use in the government
school at Tyung-ju.
