| In 1909, Lebius declares in his written statement to the | | Inferior Court of Charlottenburg that he had previously lied | | to the Superior Court of Dresden. | And why this tangle of lies in court! And how is it possible for a human being, who would have to possess some sense of honour and shame, to declare himself in court as a liar and then to describe this declaration also as a lie? He himself has given us the answer to this question: He was in a tight situation; | ! ! ! he had no money ! ! ! | So, when Lebius has no money, this is a perfectly sufficient reason for him _to_lie_to_judges_and_court_authorities_and_to_ _present_his_character_in_such_a_way_that_no_cautious_person_ _could_ever_believe_anything_he_says_again!_ I could continue for hours to talk about Lebius in this manner. But for the purposes I want to achieve today, what I have said up to here will suffice. I had made notes of the lies, Lebius had spread about me, not all of them, but only the most striking ones. By now, there are _more_than_five_hundred,_ I can prove him guilty of in court. In the last three weeks alone, he has served me with four plaints for gross insult, though I had nothing whatsoever to do with these insults. This is what is commonly called an execution! And in all this, he always insists, as I have already mentioned, most expressly that I am the one pursuing him, not him pursuing me. In response to his many, terrible articles from the years 1904 and 1905, I have only sought assistance once from the public prosecutor's office and twice from the courts. After this, I have kept silent to all of his further attacks, until he forced me by means of the alleged Kahl-pamphlet, to defend myself, because I _was_to_be_"destroyed_in_the_eyes_of_the_judges"._ And even in this case, I have forgiven him, settled the matter with him, retracted my complaint in return for his promise to leave me alone from then on, though the judge in charge said, that Lebius would have to face _a_severe_punishment_ if it got to trial. See the court files 20 B. 254 08/34, signed Schenk, Nauwerk. I bore it, when Lebius, in spite of his promise in court to leave me alone from then on, manipulated my ex-wife against me, exploiting her, depriving her of her income and her jewelry, _and_almost_ _reduced_her_to_beggary._ She had been lured by him into taking steps in courts against me, which almost have to be described as insane. And in doing so, he had the guts to pretend in the first instance of the current trial for gross insult, | "that he had represented her interests and could therefore | | claim protection according to article 193 [a]!" |
