Mihailovic denies ordering killings in wartime trial
Belgrade reports General Draja Mihailovic rejected prosecution charges that his Chetnik guerrillas committed war crimes. He claimed he never ordered murder, especially of civilians, and said he would not allow killings of captured soldiers. The trial's Sunday session covered charges from murder to village burnings, with dispute over the meaning of the term Z. Off-page photos depict a Dunbar apartment slaying involving Wanda DeFord, Lewis Lee, and Cecil James, three Dunbar Fletcher Enamel workers, with Lee wounded, DeFord killed, and James mortally wounded during a love-triangle shooting.
