Transcriber’s Note: In respect to the presentation of the final pleas by Counsel for the Defense, the Tribunal in several instances directed that written speeches of excessive length be shortened for oral presentation in Court and that notice would be taken by the Tribunal of the paragraphs omitted. In the sessions to follow such passages have been reproduced in small type. For .txt files a “[sm type begins]” note precedes the text and a “[sm type ends]” note follows the text to identify these passages.
