Senator Watson of Georgia opened an inquiry into charges that private soldiers were hanged during the war without court martials. A Waco story quoted John J. Forbes saying Watson’s charges were true and that Forbes has not told about cruelties by officers. An affidavit by George H. Taylor claimed he saw twelve soldiers hanged, uncertain if all were court martialed. Colonel Walter E. Bethel testified that eleven Expeditionary Force members were hanged in France after court martial.
