THE GERMAN JUDGE AT

LEIPZIG.

WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR.

CONVICTION MORE "IMPORTANT THAN SENTENCE.

[BY AN EYE-WITWESA. ] The British public has naturally taken great interest in the War Criminals' trials that have been held in Leipzig. The war is not yet so far behind as to enable us to be indifferent to the trials of men who inflicted innumerable brut alities upon our defenceless soldiers in German prison camps. But is was not ponsible for the Fress at home to give more than leader accounts of the Leipzig proceedings, and hence the judgment of the British public has been influenced more by the leniency of the penalties than by the merits of the trials. This should not be 50. The trials were far more important than the) | Bentences. In my opinion it is very dissirable that our public should form a fair judgment. of the Leipzig trials.

I was present at the trials from be- ginning to end, and happily, could follow the proceedings in German, so my impressions are at first hand. I am not going to write on what may be termed the political aspects of the trials." 1 will merely give my impressions of the Court na tribunal of justice.

Under the Continental eriminul „pro- cedure everything dépends upon the per- sonality of the President of the Court. He has read the witnesses' statements before the trial opens, hé questions the accused, he calls and interrogates the witnesses in any order he wishes. Upon Dr. Schmide
