smith when the Gestapo arrested
him in March, 1912, contained these
items:
To the official executioner for
cutting off Haidinger's head-s48.
Funeral and burial-s94.40.
Included in this fee was So "over-
time" because the burial was a

rent of the coffin which was kept
for continual use by the graveyard
and 16 cents for use of the cofin
pillow

Nozi Courts Billed Families
For Cost of Beheodinq Victims

For the imprisonment and trial
the costs skyrocketed.
The Haidinger family was assess
ed $246 for two months bed ano
board while Josef fingered in Moa-
bit and other prisons, $l20 for the
death judgment and $24 for its pub
lication.
The scene of the trial was shifted
to an outlying town, and for trans
porting the judge, two prosecutors
two ministry of justice officials, q
bailiff, two Elite Guard officers and
a major general Of the army the
family was billed for $1,036.08.
Fees for the defense attorney were
kept comparatively cheap-s3264.
No sum was too small to over
look in seeking repayment of the
costs.
III Haidinger's case the Nazis con-
fiscated $13.35 he had in his wallet
when he was arrested and $l43s
they found in his clothing when his
headless body was stripped.
The bill went to Josefs widow, his
T-year-old mother, his brother in
the army and his two married
sisters.
Regretfully the collectors reported
to the court that although they had
-confiscated all of Haidinger's prop
erty they doubted if they could
liquidate much of the total debt tc
