Member of the NSRB. JADE Eing.: 24. OKT.1941 Your sign : St.S. 422/41. Tgb. Nr.: Dear Secretary of State ! In immediate completion of your very esteemed attribution of 2l October 194l in matters of Ruth K 1 i e r , née Hoffmann I allow myself to give the desired information. Shortly before the trial, the father of Mrs. Klier appeared in my office and informed me of the misconduct of his daughter.I asked him to call his daughter telegrafisch for the trial (because his daughter is in Vienna) which also happened. One day before the negotiation, Mrs. Ruth Klier came to my office and brought me the order of the Karlovy Vary District Court, number 9 Ds 67/4l. I was only uncomfortable about the amount and type of the thefts and would already reject the representation as not agreeable to me. However, Mrs. Ruth Klier then described the process of things to me and I had to understand that this is an exceptional case of misconduct by an otherwise seemingly good person. She also described her CV to me, and I now felt that one should try to reach a milder judgment. However, the speaker was not of this opinion as I did and sentenced my client to 9 months in prison. I also discussed the case with other criminal law officers of the Karlovy Vary District Court, but especially with the well-known defender Dr. Pfanner from Eger, who was of the same opinion as me, that an appeal should be filed, it would at least not be a sharper but a mild judgment to reach. I therefore filed an appeal against the judgment of the Karlsbad District Court G.Zl. 9 Ds 67/4l of ll.10.4l on 4 October and expect the judgment - St. S.$-188 a/41
