THE MARSHAL: The Tribunal is again in session. THE PRESIDENT: Counsel may proceed. DR. MARX (Defense Counsel for the defendant Becker-Freyseng): Mr. President, I ask permission to make an explanation. The man called as an expert for professor Schroeder, Becker-Freyseng and Beiglboeck, professor Dr. Vollhardt, from Frankfurt, who was approved by the Tribunal, has now arrived, professor Vollhardt is a scholar and scientist of international repute. Therefore, what he has to say will be of general interest and perhaps it will be very decisive in deciding the outcome of this trial and the evaluation of these three defendants. Professor Vollhardt has only a little time at his disposal. He is the Director of the University Clinic for Internal Medicine of the University of Frankfurt and must return on Wednesday to attend a scientific conference. I therefore ask the Tribunal to permit Professor Vollhardt to testify tomorrow morning at the beginning of the session so that he can testify as an expert.
