BENNING, Ga. — No orders ever were issued from a high-level conference that women and children were to be killed at My Lai, prosecution witnesses tes tified Wednesday at Lt. William L. Galley Jr.’s court-martial. One of the witnesses, William C. Riggs of Midland, Tex., com mander of Alpha Company, said he attended a briefing on the eve of My Lai, conducted by Lt. Col. Frank Barker, head of the task force which made the March 16, 1968 assault. “It was pretty much a stand ard briefing,” added Riggs, a former infantry captain. “There was nothing much out of the ordi nary that I recall.” Another witness who was pres ent at the briefing, which Galley did not attend, was Lt. Col. Fred eric W. Watke, who was asked: Q. Do you recall any specific mention of women and children ? A. Not specifically, no. Q. Was there an order given to kill every man, woman and child in the area? A. Not at — no. Q. Was there an order given not to take prisoners ? A. No. Galley, 27, is accused of pre meditated murder of 102 unresist ing Vietnamese men, women and children at My Lai while leading the 1st Platoon of Charlie Com pany on a search and destroy mis sion through the hamlet. On the witness stand, Galley said he was obeying orders from his company commander, Capt. Ernest L. Medina, to wipe out every living thing in the hamlet near the South China Sea. / Medina attended the Barker briefing and the prosecution aim in its rebuttal testimony was to convince the six-man court-mar tial jury that no such orders were passed down from the high-level conference. Further rebuttal testimony is expected to deal with a subsequent briefing Medina gave the men of his company, including Galley. Medina has been charged with over-all responsibility for civilian deaths at My Lai but he has not yet been ordered to trial. He has claimed the Army is preventing him from testifying at Galley’s trial, where he said he could re fute the defendant’s allegation re garding his orders. In the absence of the jury, the trial judge, Col. Reid W. Kennedy, told prosecution and defense law yers that the jurors have the right to call witnesses — including Me dina — after both prosecution and defense have pleaded their cases.
