As to Person: My name is Paul Rohr; born on August 28th, 1892, at Galbitz, near Cönnern; Protestant.
As to Case: The following deposition, which he had made before Lieutenant Reyner on October 31st, 1914, was read over to witness:
"Whilst taking some straw for camp purposes from a barn near Brussels we found two otherwise unwounded German Uhlans hidden under the straw. Both had their eyes poked out. The case, as I know, has already been reported to my battalion commander, Kirchner."
He thereupon declared: I affirm this deposition to-day, and add the following detail: The occurrence took place in a village near Brussels at about the end of August this year. The two German Uhlans I found lying dead under the straw in the barn were absolutely unwounded, with the exception of their torn-out eyes, and there exists no doubt in my mind that the wounds inflicted, when their eyes were destroyed, were the sole cause of their death.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: Paul Rohr.
After the witness had been admonished as to the importance of the oath, he was duly sworn.
Signed: Dr. Schilling. Signed: Hornig.
