COWLES BOOK COMPANY, INC.
FT. 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.
