Footnotes

¹ Receipt of this note is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 2/1, p. 129, February 7, 1916: "Abends Brief von Karpath mit Nominierung Dr. Kammerers, zu dem ich am nächsten Morgen gehen sollte." ("That evening, letter from Karpath with Dr. Kammerer's nomination; I was to go to him [Kammerer] the next morning."). — Blindengasse 46, Vienna VIII: the address of the Divisional Court of the Home Guard (see Lehmann 1916, vol. I, p. 152).

² The meeting is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 2/1, p. 130, February 8, 1916: "An ½ 11^h zu D^r. Kammerer, muss bis ¾ 12^h warten. Hernach kurze Instruktion, wieder unter dem Gesichtspunkt rücksichtsloser Kürze, doch gelingt es mir, dem Verteidiger die Formel herzubringen, die ich schon dem Protokollführer gegenüber angewendet habe u. die möglicherweise von entscheidender Kraft sein dürfte." ("To Dr. Kammerer at 10.30, but was obliged to wait until 11.45. After that, short briefing, with a view to brevity at all costs. But I succeeded in impressing on the defense attorney the form of words that I had previously used against the Clerk of the Court, and that might possibly be of decisive force.").
