BRIGADIER GENERAL TAYLOR: Your Honor, needless to say, we have no objection to the making of this motion or the filing of this brief. It is needless to say, also, that we think the indictment quite adequately specifies the date, place, and type of experiment charged. The defendant’s connection with it is better known to the defendant than to anyone else. There is no reason why he should not enter his plea at this time. JUDGE SEBRING: That would not go to the jurisdictional aspect of the indictment, but it would go to the question of particulars. The consideration is whether or not upon the showing of the motion, more particulars as to the charges specified, should be included. Do you understand my point? BRIGADIER GENERAL TAYLOR: Yes, your Honor. That is what I understood. The prosecution will consider the motion, and if need be, submit particulars, although we think the indictment is adequate enough. We think there is no challenge of the jurisdiction. The defendant should be required to promptly plead. JUDGE CRAWFORD: How do you plead to the charges against you? DEFENDANT SCHAEFER: Not guilty. PRESIDING JUDGE BEALS: Be seated. [At this point the balance of the defendants: Waldemar Hoven, Wilhelm Beiglboeck, Adolf Pokorny, Herta Oberheuser and Fritz Fischer were arraigned. All were represented by counsel. All pleaded not guilty to the indictment.] DR. SERVATIUS: Servatius for the defendant Karl Brandt. Your Honor, may I make an application regarding the submission of documents by the prosecution? PRESIDING JUDGE BEALS: You may state your application. DR. SERVATIUS: Your Honor, I ask the Tribunal to instruct the prosecution that the documents be submitted to the defense in time, the documents on which the charge is based. This would make the proceedings easier and give the defense an opportunity to examine the documents in time, and to obtain counterproof. In the first trial before the International Military Tribunal, we were given a list of documents with the indictment; although these documents were not enclosed, we could look at them and we could work on them. Up to now we have nothing on which we can build our defense. In other words, on the 9th of December, we will have proceeded no further than today, and we will not be able to advise our clients. PRESIDING JUDGE BEALS: You may be seated and we will hear from the prosecution, Brigadier General Telford Taylor.
