Q. Now we want to continue; where did the session take place in the second case?
A. In the town hall court at Amberg.
Q. What parts of the population attended that session?
A. All categories of people. The court room was right in the center of the town and when people had found out that there was something going on, they just came.
Q. What was the composition of these people, according to their denominations?
A. The great majority of the population was Catholic.
Q. Did you have to take certain considerations on account of that?
A. Of course. One had to avoid anything which could hurt the religious feelings of these people. Cases against clergymen required a great deal of caution and a great deal of tact so that no wrong impressions were made, because it was generally considered undesirable to make the impression, in any way, that it was intended to injure the religious feelings of these people.
