Vokea as confirming authorit, reviewe the evidence and conc uded that Meyer, as an individual, wua not responsible for the slaying of 2i Canadian prisoners of war by his troops. He considered Meyer rea- ponslble as a divisional command- er, but not. to a degree warranting the death sentence. Gen. Voices‘ convened the Canad- ian military court at Aurich, Ger- many, heeded by Mal-Gen. Rur- ry Foster of Halifax and Picton. Ont., which convicted Meyer o three of five charges and sentence him to ting. Later Ounadl quarters at London disallowed Meyer's petition against the death sentence. No date, however was set for the execu“ pending a decision by Gen. Vokea. In petition Meyer said he had no fault to find with the sen- tence, but sought mitigation of it because of his family - his wife and five young children. It was understood commutation of the sentence was not on conaideratio of Meyer's family, bptmsole on " pr a
