OR. SEAGRAVE IS
FOUND GUILTY OF
TREASON CHARGE
World War Two's 'Burma
Surgeon," American, Is
Sentenced to Six Years
RANGOON, Burma. Jan. 17—TP)—
A Burma court judged Dr. Gordon
Seagrave, World War Two’s “Burma
Surgeon," guilty today cf high t.rea
son.
The 53-vear-o!d American war
sentenced to serve six of his re
maining years in prison for aiding
hill tribesmen rebelling against the
Burmese government.
Seagrave’s attorney said he would
appeal the verdict and that he ex
pected the appeal to be heard in
about three weeks.
The court .found Seagrave guilty
of two of three counts against him.
It sentenced him to six years at
hard labor on one count, and one
year on the other, with the sen
tences to run concurrently.
The verdict came as a compile
rurprise. Most persons here expected
his acquittal.
Seagrave received the verdict
stoically. Only his moving jaw
muscles betrayed any feeling.
3ut after the judges left the
courtroom, he told reporters:
“I sincerely hope the American
people will not judge the peoples cf >
Burma by the actions of a few.
“I bear the Burmese people no :
malice for this,” he added.
The famed surgeon was decorated
by King George VI and the U.S.
government for his heroism during
Gen Joseph Stilwell’s jungle re
treat from Burma in 1942.
Seagrave has spent more than 25 |
years giving medical aid to the;
Burmese people.
