MALINES, _November 19th, 1914_.
Court of the General Belgian Government.
Present:
President, STEMPEL.
Secretary, STEMPER.
There appears as witness Corporal Heinrich Weinen, and is examined as
follows:
As to Person: My name is Heinrich Weinen, aged 38; corporal, 1st
Company, 2nd Mobile Landsturm Battalion Neuss, at present in Malines.
As to Case: On August 25th I saw from the station square a light signal
suddenly given. Upon this signal we were fired at on all sides from
the windows of the surrounding houses. The rooms, from which the shots
came, were dark. I did not see any figures at the windows; I only saw
the flash of the shots; the flashes from the objects pointed from the
windows, which I took to be revolvers, were reflected from the houses
upon the street. The bullets struck the square close to us and burst
about our heads too.
Read over, approved, signed.
Signed: HEINRICH WEINEN.
After the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, the
witness was duly sworn.
Signed: STEMPEL. Signed: STEMPER.
