have entrusted me with the honorable task of expressing our
thanks for the words you have addressed to the Defense Counsel. We
members of the Defense consider ourselves the associates of the Tribunal
in reaching a just verdict and we have full confidence in Your
Lordship's wise and experienced conduct of the Trial proceedings.
Your
Lordship may be convinced that in this spirit we shall participate in
the difficult task of reaching a just decision in the case before the
Tribunal.
THE PRESIDENT: I assume that there are no further
questions at the present stage which Counsel for the Defense wish to
ask. They will understand that if at any stage in the future they have
inquiries which they wish to make, they should address them to the
General Secretary and they will then be considered by the Tribunal.
The Tribunal will now adjourn until 2 o'clock, when the
application on behalf of the Defendant Streicher will be heard.
[The
Tribunal adjourned until 1400 hours.]
THE
PRESIDENT: I understand that there are some counsel for the defendants
present here today, who were not here yesterday and who may not
understand the use of these earphones and dials. Therefore, I explain to
them that Number 1 on the dial will enable them to hear the evidence in
the language in which it is given, Number 2 will be in English, Number 3
in Russian, Number 4 in French, and Number 5 in German.
I will
now read the judgment of the Tribunal in the matter of the application
of counsel for Gustav Krupp von Bohlen for postponement of the
proceedings against the defendant.
Counsel for Gustav Krupp
von Bohlen has applied to the Tribunal for postponement of the
proceedings against this defendant on the ground that his physical and
mental condition are such that he is incapable of understanding the
proceedings against him and of presenting any defense that he may have.
On November 5 the Tribunal appointed a medical commission
composed of the following physicians:
R. E. Tunbridge,
Brigadier, O.B.E., M.D., M.Sc., F.R.C.P., Consulting Physician, British
Army of the Rhine,
René Piedelièvre, M.D.,
Professor on the Faculty of Medicine of Paris; Expert for the Tribunal.
Nicholas Kurshakov, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Medical
Institute of Moscow; Chief Internist, Commissariat of Public Health,
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
