165. The War Office issued a communiqué last night to the effect that the Army Court Martial now sitting in Tokyo has sentenced six other military officers to varying terms of imprisonment from life in one case to 4 years for their connection with the February incident.
The Embassy is informed on what seems to be reliable authority that the investigation will continue and that other officers probably including General Masaki will be brought to trial.
