alleged German war criminals" wen

The first case was that of Sergean
Heinen, charged with beating British
and Belgian war prisoners with the
butt Of his rifle. The prisoners had
been sent to the Frederick der Crosse

they were not miners ana would not
go down into TIE pits. Heinen was
alleged to have beaten some Of them
and ordered his helpers to use force
on others.
The next case is scheduled to bring
Captain Mueller of the landsehr be-
fore the bar. He was charged with
negligence in commanding prison
camp near Flavy le Martel, where
many deaths resulted from an epi-
demic laid to faulty sanitation. Muel-
ler's defense is that he was in COM
mand of the camp only one month
end that the epidemic came after he
had been relieved.
Private Neumann, charged with UNI
derfeeding prisoners of war who were
put to work in a chemical factory at
Pommersdorf, is expected to admit
his guilt. His contention is that
food ran low and that the Germans
suffered as greatly as the British.
Another case which was expected
to be taken up was the charge that
Captain-Lieutenant Hermann, U-boat
commander, torpedoed the British
hospital ship Dover Castle. Heu-
,nano ADMITS sinking the boat, but
defends his action with the plea that
he was acting under Instructions
from the admiralty.

men, charged by the allies with vlo'
lati-- the laws of war, and whose ex-
tradition was - first demanded, were
subsequently ordered to be tried IN
German courts. A. list. ofss<45 was
picked out by the allies and presented
to the. German government AS the
first to be placed on trial. I
The trials are before division OF
Germar"'s supreme court, or reichs-
Hericht
The German SUPREME court is COM
posed of 100 Judges. The highest tri-
bunal is the court 81 last instance and
review similar to the American SUI
preme court. A law was passed that
the men charged by the allies with
being "war criminals" should be tried
by that tribunal
The court is divided into two de-
partments or divisions known as sen
ates," each composed Of seven judges.
There are six senates for criminal
cases and six for civil cases. The
war criminals will be tried before
a senate presided over by President t
of the Court Schmidt, with DR.. Lud-
wig Ebermayer, one of Germany
chief jurists, as prosecuting attorney.
1t is expected that it will take three
months to complete the trials OF the
