She was born in Taiwan and did not go to Japan until after the Second World War, when she was sixteen and conditions were crush- ingly hard-and by them she was soon crushed. She worked at first in a tex- tile mill, then as a theatre usher, then as a waitress; she found her way even- tually to work as a "bar hostess" in a joint in the honky-tonk boom town of Kagohara, across the way from Camp Whittington, where Girard was for- merly stationed. Ht n1et her there, and she became his faithful girl Her care of him was touching; she made him curb his drinking and once sold most of her belongings to payoff hIS de bts. G rard had a date with Candy on the evening of the day of the shootIng; she found him quiet and moody. He told her nothing. Comn1unication was difficult for the couple, to be sure, be- cause each spoke haltingly in the other's language, and even after three years in love they often enlisted the help of an interpreter. Girard spent all his spare time in the following two days wIth Candy, but he continued exceptionally taciturn On the third evening, Candy, hearing about the shooting on the radio, began to discuss it with Girard, where- upon he suddenly burst into tears and speech, saying over and over that it had been an accident. In this way, he told his fiancée he had killed a woman. On February 15 th, three days after the Army had identified Girard, Candy saw newspapermen and, wIth some spirit, said that Girard was a friendly man who wouldn't hurt a flea. "If Bill- san could kII1 anybody," she said, "then all G.I.s are killers." T HE status-of-forces agreement be- tween Japan and the United States provides for a Joint Committee to settle differences, when they arise, and on February 16th the Japanese brought the Girard case before this group. Three weeks later, the committee passed the case on to its Criminal Jurisdiction Sub- commIttee, which on March 12th be- gan arguing which nation had the right to try GIrard. The princIpal question at issue was whether Girard had acted in the hne of official duty. .LL\. circular of the United States Army Forces, Far East, published in 1956, makes it clear that the term "official duty" is not sup- posed to Include everythIng a man does while under orders "A substantial de- parture from the acts a person is re- quired to perform in a particular duty,"
