As adviser, Justice Tadeusz Haller, Ministry of Justice. Officer presenting the case, Lieutenant Arie Brown, Air Force. Prosecuting Officer, Captain Wilfred Schmidt, Navy, Defending Officer, Captain Roger Endicott, Air Force. At today’s session, Assistant Prosecuting Officer, Lieutenant Mihail Bratianu, Army, will also be present. Major von Peters: What about listing our ages, weights and years of service while you’re at it, Brown? Just to extend the pleasure, I mean. Lieutenant Brown: To tell you the truth, sir, I have received a reprimand for irregular presentation of the case. Major von Peters: To tell the truth? What sort of expression is that? Colonel Pigafetta: Who issued this reprimand, Brown? Tadeusz Haller: Perhaps I’m best qualified to answer that question. The comment probably emanated from the Joint Commission from the Ministry of Justice and the General Staff Judicial Department which is at present occupied with formulating the verdicts which will form the basis of the sentences of the court martial in the case against Velder.
