With reference to the prisoner
Erich Baron (at present in the
prison at Lehrterstrssse 81.
Filed by the daughter Of the pris-
oner, Marianne Baron.
During today's visiting period 7
found my father Erich Baron in
an altogether terrifying mental
condition. consequence Of his
being an utterly nervous indi-
vidual, mentally as well as physi-
cally, simply incapable Of Offering
resistance. Consequently, earn
estly request that he be released
from confinement. Since, in this
case, protective arrest has GER
tsinly not been decreed as a strict
measure Of punishment. which it
has turned out to be in my ia
theirs case, resulting in probably
serious internal injury for his
whole lifetime, land since) with
the present overburdeninR of the
officials, the announced investigs-
tons have not led to any final re-
sult-therefore I file the urgent
plea for liberation, or at least
temporary leave of absence from
imprisonment, for my father in
order that he may himself repre-
sent his interests before the prop
er authorities.
I, as his daughter, place myself
at the disposal Of the police as a
hostage. and request to be i'm
prisoned in place Of my father
until his case is cleared. Suspi-
cion that he may attempt to flee,
or any kind Of political activity
on the part of my father, is out
of the question, and on account Of
my incarceration alone would be
completely impossible. I ask once
again most urgently that this ap-
plication be granted
