Testimony of George Lynch (indorsed as entirely trustworthy by the _Tribune_ and the _Herald_), war correspondent in the Cuban and South African wars, and in the march upon Peking for the rescue of the legations. The italics are mine: When the _soldiers_ were prohibited from looting, no such prohibitions seemed to operate with the _missionaries_. For instance, the _Rev. Mr. Tewksbury held a great sale of looted goods, which lasted several days_. A day or two after the relief, when looking for a place to sleep in, I met the Rev. Mr. Ament, of the American Board of Foreign Missions. _He told me_ he was going to take possession of the house of a wealthy Chinaman who was an old enemy of his, as he had interfered much in the past with his missionary labors in Peking. A couple of days afterwards _he did so_, and held a _great sale of his enemy’s effects_. I bought a sable cloak at it for $125, and a couple of statues of Buddha. As the stock became depleted _it was replenished by the efforts of his converts, who were ransacking the houses in the neighborhood_.--New York _Herald_, February 18th. It is Dr. Smith, not I, who has suggested that persons who act in this way are “thieves and extortioners.” EXHIBIT C Sir Robert Hart, in the _Fortnightly Review_ for January, 1901. This witness has been for many years the most prominent and important Englishman in China, and bears an irreproachable reputation for moderation, fairness, and truth-speaking. In closing a description of the revolting scenes which followed the occupation of Peking, when the Christian armies (with the proud exception of the American soldiery, let us be thankful for that) gave themselves up to a ruthless orgy of robbery and spoliation, he says (the italics are mine): And even some _missionaries_ took such a _leading_ part in “spoiling the Egyptians” for the greater glory of God that a bystander was heard to say: “_For a century to come Chinese converts will consider looting and vengeance Christian virtues._” It is Dr. Smith, not I, who has suggested that persons who act in this way are “thieves and extortioners.” According to Mr. Lynch and Mr. Martin (another war correspondent), Dr. Ament helped to spoil several of those Egyptians. Mr. Martin took a photograph of the scene. It was reproduced in the _Herald_. I have it. EXHIBIT D In a brief reply to Dr. Smith’s Open Letter to me, I said this in the _Tribune_. I am italicizing several words--for a purpose: Whenever he (Dr. Smith) can produce from the Rev. Mr. Ament an assertion that the _Sun’s_ character-blasting dispatch was not authorized _by him_, and whenever Dr. Smith can buttress Mr. Ament’s disclaimer with a confession from _Mr. Chamberlain_, the head of the Laffan News Service in China, that that dispatch was a false invention _and unauthorized_, the case against Mr. Ament will fall at once to the ground.
