THE PRESIDENT: One moment; and then signed it after you had altered it?
[The witness nodded assent.]
THE PRESIDENT: Do not nod; please answer. You said, “A complete draft was put before me, and I altered it.” And I ask you, did you then sign it?
PUHL: Yes.
MR. DODD: And did you also initial those places that you altered on the original? Did you not put your initials in each place that you wanted to make a change?
Isn’t that so?
PUHL: No; we copied it again, it was completely rewritten...
MR. DODD: I know you copied it anew. Did you not mark the places that you wanted changed and say how you wanted it changed? You did, did you not?
PUHL: Yes; but that is of minor importance; for instance, the word for “Reichsbank” was changed to “Gold Discount Bank,” and there were similar editorial changes.
MR. DODD: Well, I thought it might be helpful to the Tribunal to know that it was rewritten and initialed.
