Traoya Kawakita had 'teen a foreman at the Oeyama Prison Camp, and yet was sufficiently confident to state that he was a I'.'S. eitizen and received a passport back to Los Angeles where he was identified by a former prisoner. This might suggest his role at the prison camp was of such mild nature that it did not trouble his conscience but it might also suggest a lack of mentality on part of the accused, to appreciate fully his acts with respect to the American prisoners-of-war. The same '�rni.vjhi- be. suit! of Kuuao Inouye.

Revir.wing his ease with-respect other, war ;c.rimes, sentences for similar deeds, it ;niight -be" said that if Inoiiyo had appealed against the death sentence.. he might have been working out a prison sentence today. - -
But instead, he"chose another means, astonishingly goo\l � it must- have4, been to his mind, but of which he was unable to see the consequence. Inouye. between.- the j'trst and - second "trial, was highly^confident. 'From his. condemned celK he gaily I waved -one day U>: a Canadian Nisei sergeant AVMO visited the gaol;on war erimes matlers and ONpressed to hinl oh 'another occasion, feelings of high hopes.. although it w^as d'ifT.icult for: the soldier to fathom h'o.w ..Inouye could hope for-release. : . �;
Inouye submitted a i^etition on:the basis of his. being a British subject by .liis Canadian birth, and as a result the sentence of the .war -crimes court 'was'.--declared.' invalid". -His case was promptly switched from the .military to the civil authcirities and a eharge: of treason laid against -the Nisei. . i TRIAL ABOltT-FACK i . Thus, the treason trial of I Canadian-born Japanese Kanao �Inouye. was accidental and i brought about mainly by the action of the accused and prob-i-.ablx not anticipated by him.
