the Japanese finally cut the men down and took them away for
 
execution. Two of the men were shot. The third was beheaded.
 
There had at no time been a semblance of a trial.
 
Lieutenant Colonel Hellnik:
 
     Toward the end of September or early in October we
 
learned that a thousand prisoners were to be transferred to another
 
prison camp, this one on the Island of Mindanao, to the southward.
 
Both McCoy and I were among those selected to go. We did not know
 
what to expect at the new camp, but I am sure we both felt that
 
anything would be an improvement over the cohditions at Cabanatun.
