The case differs from the others heard by the court in con nection with charges growing out of violations of civilized warfare, inasmuch as the proceedings are in behalf of the German public prosecutor. Great Britain nau only demanded the trial of Com mander Patzis of the submarine which torpedoed the hospital ship, who fled the country, but the prosecutor, after examining the evidence, ordered the trial of Dittmar and Boldt. Witnesses Are Many. Thirteen British and 52 Ger man witnesses, including Admiral von Trotha, former chief of tho German admiralty, will appear. The British commission which is watching the trial is headed by Sir Ernest Pollock. A larger crowd than any which has attended the war crimes trials was present today. Lieutenant Dittmar appeared in uniform, while Lieutenant Boldt was dressed in civilian clothes. Both of them wore iron crosses. Irlonern Silent. Asked what was his answer to the charge, Dittmar sullenly re fused to make reply, finally say Ins he had pledged his word fo Commander Patzig never to speak about the ,case. Lieuten ant Boldt pleaded not guilty, add ing that he was obliged to obey the commander, "whose word was law," referring to the torpedoing of the vessel, but " he-' was silent regarding the charge of firing on the lifeboats. Second Officer Chapman of the Llandovery Castla gave an im pressive account of the sinking of the hospital ship and the sub sequent conduct of the submarine. He said he was ordered, under threats of instant death, aboard the submarine, although he plead ed to save his comrades who were left to drown. Attacked Commander Heard. Chapman then was released in his lifeboat, but afterwards was re-ordered alongside the submar ine and questioned whether the Llandovery Castle carried ammu nition, which he denied. One of the German officers charged the ship had eight American flying officers aboard. To this Chap man said he replied that .they were army service corps officers. The lifeboat again was released. r.iter which, declared the witness. the submarine repeatedly attempt ed to ram it, but he escaped, whereupon the submarine fired 14 shells, two of them passing over tne lifeboat. Chapman said he saw a British sailor on the submarine, but that he was pushed off. Of the seven lifeboats of the hospital ship, two of them capsized, although the sea was calm.
