_CROSS-EXAMINATION_
* * * * *
MR. HARDY: Do you have any ability to write shorthand, Doctor?
DEFENDANT BEIGLBOECK: Yes, I know shorthand.
Q. Are these your stenographic notes on the back of Document C-23?
A. Yes.
Q. Would you kindly read those to the Tribunal—transcribe them? Would
that be too difficult, or would you like to have me give you my
transcription of them to aid you?
A. It says: “The thirst acquires forms which are difficult to bear. The
patient is apathetic.”
Q. Pardon me, Doctor. It might be helpful if you used this
transcription. I have had experts transcribe the notes; and then the
interpreters can follow us more readily. I have the English copies also
for the Tribunal to follow you, and if you have any discrepancy to point
out with transcription as set out in the English—
JUDGE SEBRING: Are you offering this, Mr. Hardy?
MR. HARDY: That is a problem, your Honor. I want to have him transcribe
the notes, and when the Tribunal settles who will offer this document
into evidence, either the defense or prosecution, at that time, if
necessary, I will give this a document number. I think we will have to
wait to clarify that point later.
Q. Would you check that transcription, Professor?
