XVI. CONFIRMATION AND REVISION OF THE SENTENCES BY THE MILITARY
GOVERNOR
OF THE UNITED STATES ZONE
OF OCCUPATION |
| |
| A. Introduction |
| |
| Under Articles XV and XVII of Ordinance No. 7, the sentences imposed
by the Tribunal were subject to review by the Military Governor of the U. S.
Zone of Occupation (See vol. XV, this series, sec. XXV). On 7 November 1948,
General Lucius D. Clay, Military Governor of the United States Zone of
Occupation, issued a special order with respect to the defendant Haefliger
commuting his sentence to the time already spent in confinement (subsec. B).
This order was made because of an error in a stipulation filed by counsel
during the trial concerning the time previously spent in confinement by this
defendant. On 4 March 1949, the Military Governor confirmed by separate orders
the sentences imposed upon all of the defendants by the Tribunal. The order of
the Military Governor with respect to the sentence of defendant Krauch is
reproduced below (subsec. C). The orders confirming the other sentences were
similar to the order concerning defendant Krauch. By the time the sentences
were confirmed by the Military Governor, a number of the defendants had already
been freed because they had served the term of sentence imposed by the
Tribunal. |
