| THIRTY KOREANS
f ARE KILLED IN
JAP MASSACRE
11 C Men Murdered After They
j Had Been Gathered in
Christian Church
ITokio, June 5. Thirty - five
Koreans were shot or killed with
swords or bayonets by Japanese sol
| diers in a Christian church building
) at Cheam-ni, forty mils from Seoul,
- in connection with the Korean in
i dependence movement.
* This has been confirmed by an in-
I vestigation and American consular
agents and by missionary leaders in
Korea. The fact are admitted by
f the Japanese authorities at Seoul, in-
I eluding the Governor Gfeneral, llase
gawa. The authorities say that Ihcy
I deplore the outrage, that those
guilty of it have been punished and
ithat orders have been given to pre
vent a recurrence.
Investigators also have found that
Soochung, another village near
. Cheam-ni, was burned by the Jap
anese and that several Koreans
there were wounded in an attack by
Japanese soldiers, who shot them
or used their swprds or bayonets on
them as they fled from their burn
-5 % ing homes ufter the troops had set
i f fire to the buildings.
Reports have been received of the
j _ burning of Christian churches in
"i three other villages and Koreans
, - told The Associated Press corre
spondent at Seoul that they could
show him nine villages which had
been burned by the Japanese.
Details of the massacre at Chcam
* j ni were obtained by The Associated
f Press correspondent, who visited
that place in company with Ray
mond S. Curtice, the American Vtce
f 1 consul at Seoul and Mr. Underwood.
an American missionary. Subse
■" ! quently the correspondent again
* * visited the place with Mr. Royds, the
V British consul, and several mission
* i aries, including the Rev. Herron
Smith, who is in charge of the work
j of the Methodist church in Korea.
J I Describing his visit to Cheam-ni, the
, Seoul correspondent writes that
* when they asked residents of nearby
villages why that hamlet had been
* burned, they were told that it was
because there was a Christian
* * church and many native Chritsians
in the village.
Killed in Church
t "When we got to the place which
s had been a village of about forty
' ,* houses, we found only four or live
I , standing, all the rest were smoking
- ruins." he continued. "We found
a body frightfully burned and twist
i ; ed lying in a compound, and another
| l either of a young man or woman
just outside the church compound.
J ' Several groups of people were hud
j f died under little straw shelters on
, the hillside with a few of their piti
-1 fu! belongings about them. They
1 *v were mostly women, some old. others
,/•' young mothers with babies, but all i
I | sunk in the dull apathy of abject
' ' misery and despair. Mr. Underwood,
* , an American missionary who talked
, ? to them in their own language,
brought out the story of what had
happened.
| "The day before we arrived sol
diers came to the village and or
* ' dered all the male Christians to
* gather at the church. When about
i 30 were in the church, the soldiers
opened fire on them with ritles and
then entered the church and fin
* Ished them off with swords and bay
i onets. After fchis they set fire to the
church and to houses which other
* wise would not have been burned."
