Fifteen Believed Shot-Lives of Two Others Spared, Is Report
TOKYO, July 13.-The War Office announced Sunday night that 15 leaders in the bloody rebellion of February 26 have been executed.
No explanation is forthcoming as to why two others, who have been condemned to death, were not shot. The two men are Yoshiaki Nakamura, former Communist, and Asaichi Isobe, former Quartermaster Captain.
The laconic communique told of the deaths of the 15 but failed to mention the time, place, nor method used.
Three of the Empire's most distinguished leaders were assassinated in the Spring uprising.
Most well informed observers believe that the executions were carried out in the courtyard of the Shibuya Military prison, and that death was by shooting.
