There appeared as witness Captain Burkhardt, who, after the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, made the following statement: As to Person: My name is Heinrich Burkhardt. I am 44 years old; evangelical; farmer; now Captain of Landwehr; Commander of the Heavy Commissariat Column No. 2. As to Case: On August 29th, 1914, outside Hollogne, fire was opened upon us from the wood from all sides. It was about 6 o'clock in the evening. We were on the march to Marche. There were no enemy troops in the neighbourhood. Our assailants were therefore civilians. We also took prisoner about twenty civilians who were caught red-handed in the wood, and these were conveyed to Marche by an artillery munitions column. On August 23rd, 1914, we marched right through Marche. Shots were fired at us and at the munitions column from various houses. However, we made no halt here at all, as we were bound for Laroche. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: BURKHARDT. The witness was sworn. Signed: SCHWEINITZ. Signed: LIPS. App. 16. MILITARY COURT EXAMINATION of Army Baker Börner, 2nd Field-Bakery Column, XII.

I am 30 years old; Protestant; by trade formerly baker; later, assistant pointsman; at present, baker in the Field-Bakery No. 2, XII. Army Corps. As to Case: While we were quartered in Marche, or close to it, I went with field-baker Werner into the town, where, as we felt thirsty, we asked a woman who stood at the gate of a yard for _l'eau_. She gave us to understand that she would like to give us some coffee, and led us into the house by the back door. We both drank coffee, thanked the woman, and went out again by the same way. As I closed the back door one or more shots were fired from inside. One of the fingers of my left hand was covered with blood. We tried to enter the house, again, but the door had been fastened on the inside. I fired a shot through the door, but I do not know whether I hit anybody. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: BÖRNER. The witness was sworn. Signed: SCHWEINITZ. Signed: LIPS.
