Statement of Tanaka (6 June 1947) Following the first operation, Tanaka went to the Autopsy Training Room after visiting his wife about 1730, saw that the Prisoner was dead, returned to his office, told Makino that the Prisoner was dead. When Makino and Tanaka got to the Autopsy Training Room, Goshima and Ryu were there.

After they had all taken specimens, Ryu said that he would like to take out the Prisoner's brain and even before they had finished their work Ryu began to in­ject Mueller solution into the large blood vessel in the Prisoner's neck. Since the injection of Meuller Solution ruined the rest of the body for their purposes, Makino and Tanaka stopped their work when Ryu began to inject the solution.

Makino and Tanaka returned to their offices leaving Goshima and Ryu to take out the brain.
