As to Case: On the day of the fight near Liège our regiment, as we were leaving Esneux, was under fire from the houses. Further, when outside the town we were fired upon from the hill-sides on the right and left, and also from trees. Our troops at once forced a way into the houses from which shots had come, and some civilians were brought out. A number of weapons were also discovered. I myself saw the civilians. There were no Belgian troops in the houses. Two days after the battle of Liège, when we were leaving the village of Louveigné in the evening, a hot fire was opened on us from the houses. One man was wounded, and I saw the pellets in his back. We replied to the fire and drove the people from the houses. Only civilians emerged, and these were shot. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: NIEBELN. The witness was sworn. Signed: FUHSE. Signed: HENSEN. App. 9.

We halted here, and orders were given to water the horses. As we were waiting for the command to make ready, a shot was suddenly fired at us from a house in the street on our right, and after this a number of other shots followed from other points. I was standing by the last waggon in front of the supplementary convoy, so pretty nearly at the end of the column. We forced our way in the direction of the shots into the garden belonging to the house, and here caught two civilians, one of whom had his hand in his pocket full of cartridges. He was hidden in some bushes, and tried to escape on our approach; the other was standing close beside him. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: FRITZ GRUBER. The witness was sworn. 2.
