83al - 2 - had to stop all vehicles from Eger. In case of non-compliance they had received shooting order. Execution of stopping the vehicles would have been distributed between them so that Ariegl stopped the vehicles and made use of Koranda in all the non-observance of the call from the weapon. Around 3.45 o'clock the two Egerländer farmers Hoffmann and Böhm drove on a motorcycle out of town in the direction to Franzensbad. The accused Kriegl wants to have asked them to stop by sign and stop call. However, since the motorcyclist Hoffmann did not stop, he gave Koranda the order for shooting after passing the motorcycle with the front "strele" (schi ss). Koranda had immediately executed the shooting order, but wanted to have targeted only on the front wheel of the motorcycle. Hoffmann succumbed to his fatal injuries at the scene shortly after the wound, while Böhm died after an unsuccessful operation at the hospital in Eger. He was with full consciousness during his transfer to the hospital and stated literally: "We went home all at once crashing a shot and sir both fell off the wheel" about questions he still explained that he had not seen anything before by the police and had not heard anything. On the basis of the complaint by the Czech State Police in Eger dated 21 May 1938 (B1.i - 7 of the file St 2o43/38), although no particular person was prosecuted, inquiries were conducted under St. 243/38 and Tk X 891/38/Vs 2o7/38/ to establish a criminal offence. On 3 June 1938, this case was referred to the Divisionsgericht in Pilsen (Bl.35 of the file St. 2o43/38), where the tax was based on § 4 para.2 of the Government Decree of 23 October 1936 No. 27o/36 Sg. -3 - Puya 45583
