secutor to acquit four
former Nazi concentration
camp guards accused of par-
ticipating in the murder of
250,000 Jews.
The four defendants in
the • four-year-old trial
served at Maidanek, near
Lublin, Poland. They are
Heinrich Schmidt, a camp
doctor, and three guards,
Hermine Boettcher, Rosa
Suess and Charlotte Meyer.
The prosecutor at the
Dusseldorf court, Dieter
Ambach, claimed . that the
evidence 'against the defen-
dants was "too inexact for a
verdict." The court is ex-
pected to uphold the pros-
ecution's request next
month.
Justin J. Finger, ADL's
civil rights director,
pointed out that volumes
of testimony have been
heard and that sufficient
evidence existed for de-
livery of the original in-
dictment.
"It would be most in-
appropriate," Finger said,
"for the courts to allow ac-
quittal in these cases bef
the jury itself isgiven
opportunity of weighing
evidence that has been so
tirelessly gathered." Polish
and Israeli officials have
cooperated in turning over
information to the West
German authorities.
