Statement of Matsuzo SHIMASAKI (26 Sep 48):

In late August WAKO called SHIMASAKI in, and while there called 2nd Lt. OHNO, who glared at him, at which WAKO asked him if he didn't have any guts, struck him twice, then told him if OHNO killed him, he would be sentenced to death for killing a superior Officer, asked him whether he had enough faith in himself so as not to confess. WAKO at that time had a touch of instanity. SHIMASAKI heard that OHNO killed a Flyer, was constantly blooding over it.
