Present:
Lieutenant of Reserve Dachsel, as Officer of the Court.

La Ville-aux-Bois près Pontavert, March 6th, 1915.
By request of the Imperial German Court of Justice of the General Government in Belgium, there appeared by order, as witness, Rifleman Vorwieger, who, after the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, and he had been warned to speak the truth, made the following statement:
As to Person: My name is Paul Vorwieder, Rifleman, 6th Company, Rifle (Fusilier) Regiment No. 108; 20 years old; Protestant.
As to Case: In the street-fighting in Dinant on August 21st I saw in a house, which I was just about to enter, a woman about thirty years of age standing with a revolver in her hand, ready to fire.
On August 23rd I found in an open field, about 600 metres from Dinant, a dead Saxon Jäger—I recognised him as such by his uniform—with face completely carbonised. He lay on his back, his arms widely extended.
Read over, approved, signed.
The witness was thereupon sworn.
Signed: Dachsel. Signed: Steiger.
