Presiding Judge Marshall: The microphone will now be placed in front of the defendant Josef Altstoetter.

I shall now call upon all defendants to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against them. Each defendant, as his name is called, will stand and speak clearly into the microphone.

At this time there will be no arguments, speeches, or discussions of any kind. Each defendant will simply plead guilty or not guilty to the offenses with which he is charged by this indictment.

Josef Altstoetter, are you represented by counsel before this Tribunal?

Defendant Altstoetter: I do not consider myself guilty.

Presiding Judge Marshall: The question is, are you represented by counsel before this Tribunal?

Defendant Altstoetter: Yes, I am represented by counsel.

Presiding Judge Marshall: How do you plead to the charges and specifications and each thereof set forth in the indictment against you, guilty or not guilty?

Defendant Altstoetter: I consider myself not guilty.

Presiding Judge Marshall: You may be seated.
