The holes caused by the Tullets ¢ are still visible in the room. One door shows eight bullet holes, another five. The soldiers were Germans and Hungarians. I have ascertained that the shots were fired into the house from without.

Miroslav Djukitch, of Dobritch, aged 18, had hidden when the Austrians came to his house. When they left, Djukitch saw the dead bodies of several villagers. In one house he found a dead woman, whose cheek had been pierced with a knife. (Perhaps a bayonet?) A girl had been killed, pierced by three bayonet thrusts. Another woman was holding a one-year-old child in her arms; the child was dead and the mother wounded.

Marta Stoikovitch, of Lipolist, aged 40. A cavalry platoon arrived on August 1st, and dismounted at her house. The soldiers took all the bread, lard, etc., and then ordered water to be drawn for them from the well. Then they took away all she possessed. When she had nothing left, a soldier, who spoke no Serbian, threatened her with his revolver. In her fear she opened all her cupboards. Towards nightfall she endeavoured to escape to her neighbours, but the soldiers fired at her and killed her boy Feselin, aged 12. She succeeded, however, in taking refuge with the Marinkovitch’s (see deposition by Marinkovitch),
