APPENDIX C

CASE REPORTS COVERING PERIOD

JANUARY 14, 1938, TO FEBRUARY 9, 1938

The following selection of cases reported to the Japanese authorities covers the period from January 14 to February 9 and so completes the story of the first two months of the Japanese Army's occupation of Nanking. A total of 444 cases were written up but many of the earlier ones were compound cases involving many people. Beginning with case 190 these cases show the difficulties Chinese families met in trying to return to their homes outside the Zone. The order for such return was given by the Japanese on the afternoon of January 28.

Case No.

219. Mr. John Magee has an account of a family in South City of thirteen in which eleven were killed, women raped and mutilated, on December 13-14 by Japanese soldiers. Two small children survived to tell the story.

190. Jan. 14, a family went home from the University Middle School. On the way they got their new registration paper which they were told to paste on their door and they would not be troubled by soldiers. They did this and within an hour three Japanese soldiers came in and forced out the men and raped the women five times. So on Jan. 15 they came back to the Middle School to live.

195. Jan. 17, a woman from a family in the University Middle School went home with a man of the same family. Their home is in the newly-opened southern section of the city. A Japanese soldier came in and insisted on sleeping with her. She refused and the soldier killed her with a bayonet.

198. Jan. 19, a Buddhist nun living at present in the same house with Forster and myself reports that yesterday she got word that her uncle, a man of sixty-five years by the name of Chu had gone to buy rice in one of the places designated by the Japanese, had first been robbed by Japanese soldiers on the road and then stabbed to death. This had happened about a week before as her uncle had gone to buy the rice but had not returned and they did not know what had happened to him.

199. Jan. 20, Mr. Magee reports that the wounded Chinese soldiers in the Red Cross Hospital at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are only fed three bowls of rice per day. One man complained to a Japanese officer (or doctor?). The officer slapped him and then when the man further objected, he was taken out and bayoneted.

211. Jan. 25, afternoon, a Chinese woman came to the University Hospital. She and her husband had moved into the Safety Zone and were living in a straw hut near the Bible Teachers' Training School. On December 13 her husband was taken away by the Japanese soldiers and the wife, this woman, was taken to South City where she has been ever since. She has been raped every day from seven to ten times since but usually was given an opportunity to sleep at night. She has developed all three types of venereal disease in their most virulent forms: Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chancroid. She was let go five days ago probably because of her diseased condition. She returned to the Zone then.

215. Jan. 28, 9:00 p.m. Japanese soldiers came into the T'ien Min Bath House at T'u Chieh K'o on Chung Shan Tung Lu (east of the Special Service Corps office and in the area assigned to soldiers), searched the workers for money and shot three of them. Two of the workers were wounded and one killed. This bathhouse was opened by the Self-Government Committee at the request of the Japanese and was supposed to have their special protection.

230. Jan. 29, a woman returned, aged twenty-two. Her husband was bayoneted by Japanese soldiers and died several days before. When she herself returned home to No. 2 Shan Pei Lu on Jan. 29, she was raped by Japanese soldiers three times.

232. Jan. 29, Chen Wang Shih, twenty-eight, returned home. On the road she and another woman were stopped by three soldiers, who asked them to follow. Despite pleadings on their knees, they were pulled into a shop. Mrs. Chen was raped three times.

337. Jan. 29, Mr. Yao returned to Chan Fu Yuan, his home, in the afternoon. Some Japanese soldiers robbed cases of matches from them that day. On the 30th some Japanese went there and stripped off the clothes from all members of his family, including an eighty-year-old woman, to find if they had money. But they had none. At the same time Mr. Zee of the next door was robbed of $3.50. On Feb. 1 there came three Japanese soldiers searching in the same way. They intend to return to camp.

353. Jan. 29, Hwang Cheh Shih, at Tsai Er Hsiang, aged thirty-nine, was raped by Japanese soldiers over 10 times by turn.

222. Jan. 30, a family moved home from the Sericulture Building into a house at 30-25 Er Tiao Hsiang because of the order to leave the camps. That night three Japanese soldiers broke down the fence in the back, came around the house and knocked on the front door. Not being admitted they pounded the door in, turned on the light, ordered the man to get up. Then explained that they were "detectives." One man carried a sword, one a rifle, and the third was without arms. They explained very carefully that the people need not be afraid and they would not do any harm to them and for the man to lie down again and go to sleep, which he did. They searched the place for money and then the man with the sword raped a twelve-year-old girl and the other two raped an old woman. The soldiers left about midnight. So the family moved back to camp on the 31st.

224. Jan. 30, about 5 p.m. Mr. Sone was greeted by several hundred women pleading with him that they would not have to go home on February 4. They said it was no use going home they might just as well be killed for staying at the camp as to be raped, robbed or killed at home. They said, "You have saved us half-way, if you let us go now what use is there unless you save us the other half?" One old woman, sixty-two years, went home near Hansimen and soldiers came at night and wanted to rape her. She said she was too old. So the soldiers rammed a stick up her. But she survived to come back.

290 Jan. 30, ll a.m. No. 19 Huang Li Hsiang Chao Tien Kung, a girl refugee of Ginling College went home to pay a visit. Suddenly there came four soldiers who raped this young girl a little over ten years' of age by turn.

378 Jan. 30, Mrs. Chen went home and while she was walking on the street of Shih San Chieh, she met three Japanese soldiers who pulled her to Hen Mao Gian Yuan (a shop) and raped her by turn. When rape was finished, she was released. (Chopped by her right hand second finger.)

333 Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. two soldiers came to the home of an old woman, seventy-one years old, who lives at Mo Fan Ive, in the San Pei Lou district. They crawled to the top of her hut evidently to listen whether there were any girls inside. When the old woman heard the noise on the roof she came out and they came down. They went in and asked for girls but she said there were none, whereupon they beat her. They tried to take off her trousers but she resisted. So they hit her over the head with something they had picked up in the house.

223 Feb. 1. This morning at 6:30 a group of women gathered a second time to greet Dr. Bates when he left the University. They told him they could not go home. Among other cases one woman who feared that she would lose her bedding when the camp was sealed, took her two daughters home yesterday, to Hsi Hwa Men. Last evening Japanese soldiers1 came and demanded to have a chance to rape the girls. The two girls objected and the soldiers bayoneted them to death. The woman says there is no use going home. If they are going to be killed at home they might just as well be killed at the camp by soldiers attempting to drive them out.

327 Feb. 1, at 1 p.m. three Japanese soldiers came to Wu Tiao Hsiang, Drum Tower, and carried off a girl of little over ten years of age. The same family had been visited by three Japanese soldiers on Jan. 28, who raped two women.

382. Feb. 1, Wu Chang-seng returned to his home at Kwang Hwa Men (outside) and after arriving seven Japanese soldiers there brought on old woman and ordered them to make sexual connection together. The Japanese soldiers laughed by the side.

375. Feb. 3, Mrs. Ma returned home and while she was walking in front of a house on Tung Ren Chieh, she met three Japanese soldiers who dragged her to an empty house and then raped her by turn. (Chopped by her right hand 2nd ringer.)

442. Feb. 2, a family was carrying vegetables into the city and was stopped by some Japanese soldiers1 near Chunghwamen. They forced the man to kneel in the road and asked him for "hua Ku-niang." They told him to throw away his vegetables and the man demurred whereupon the soldier took the butt of his rifle and drove it down on the man's lower leg, breaking both bones. It took him two days to get to the hospital.

426. Feb. 5. Tsao Tsen Shih lives at No. 56 Hansimen. On the forenoon one Japanese soldier came into her house and attempted to rape her. But others in the house called the Military Police. The soldier came again at 5 p.m. and used a bayonet to wound her face. She was sent to the University Hospital to have her wounds dressed. Dr. Wilson who is attending the case, says that the wounds on her face are very serious and since the woman was semi-unconscious he feared the skull had been fractured.

430. Feb. 5, a Japanese soldier came to the house of Mr. Chen at Te Chung Bridge, near Hsi Hwa Gate, and asked for a girl. As there was no girl he pulled away a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old and committed sodomy. Obeying the original instructions, the family had sent the older men back home.

436. Feb. 5. An old woman named Chen, over sixty, at San Pai Lou, was visited by three Japanese soldiers. One was stationed outside while the other two raped the old woman by turn. One of the soldiers asked her to clean the penis by her mouth. Her grandson was stabbed twice for crying.

444. Feb. 6. The man reporting this had been taken by the Japanese and worked for them for a month outside Chung Shan Men.

They gave him three yen as a month's wages. They sent him back because that detachment left for other parts. A few days later he and some friends were taking some empty burlap sacks from Ninghai Road along Kwangchow Road. A soldier on a hilltop stopped them and motioned them to return. They turned around and had gone about forty steps when a shot from behind shattered this man's left arm below the elbow so severely that it had to be amputated. He has three dependents, was shot on the 6th. (Wilson)

428 Feb. 7, a twelve-year-old girl was raped at midnight. Her parents had just moved home to Ta Fang Hsiang the day before. Her father returned the girl to the camp. She has suffered so much that even now she cannot walk and the injured part of her body was swelled, according to her father.
