After talking to Ohno, Ishisawa met Ibhiyama going into Ohno’s office. A few days after talking to Ohno, Ishiyama came to see Ishisawa, asked him to go with him into the Dean's office, at which time Ishiyama said to Ohno: "There have been many rumors about the incident of the operation. Please do not believe all you hear in these rumors." He also said, "Nobody knows when or where this operation was conducted, and also nobody knows what kind of operation it was." Also: "No one can bring the facts together and say just exactly what happened." Ohno merely said, "Oh, is that right?" Ishiyama then said, "There is nothing to worry about at the present time. "Ishiyama did say that precautions had been taken to keep it secret. Ohno said nothing more. He as dean would "also hold a little responsibility,", toward this incident. Later Ishisawa heard that the operations on Prisoners had been conducted at the Department of Pathology and Ohno was head of that department. Also heard that the operation was held in Ishiyama's surgical operating room, but actually they were held in the autopsy room of the Anatomy Department. |
