Cologne attorney Robert Servatius, who will defend Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann next March, conferred with Attorney General Gideon Hausner this morning on the preparations for the trial.
Mr. Servatius, who arrived in Israel last night, said that he brought a letter for the accused from Eichmann’s brother, Robert. He said that Eichmann’s wife will not attend the trial, which, he stated, he hopes will last only two months. The West German lawyer said he did not plan to meet with Eichmann today or tomorrow.
