Major Waller testifies on order to kill in Samar court martial
Manila dispatch describes Major Littleton Waller of the Marine Corps rebutting General Smith’s claim that orders to kill and burn natives were given to “make Lamar a howling wilderness.” Waller says Smith urged killing anyone over ten and refused to take prisoners. He says he reported to Captain Porter that they do not wage war this way. Captain Porter, Captain Bears, and Lt Halford corroborate. A subpoena seeks records of Balangiga massacre to challenge Smith’s war law claims.
