PRISONERS TORTURED
. NEW DELHI, June 2. Japanese atrocities in a prison camp at Teng Yueli, in China, are related by a Punjabi who escaped from the camp. He said that prisoners caught when attempting to escape have been publicly tortured and executed. The Punjabi escaped with two others after throttling a Japanese sentry, and reached an Allied camp in the hilly country in north-east-Burma. One man who tried to escape was caught and then, before prisoners in the camp, was used by the garrison for bayonet practice.
