In Słupia Nowa on this day, 4 November 1947, I, Stanisław Tomczyk from the Citizens’ Militia Station in Słupia Nowa, district of Kielce, due to the necessity of preserving the traces or evidence of a crime, on the instruction of the Deputy Prosecutor, file no. LN 4/47, from the Region of the District Court in Kielce, this dated 25 October 1947, issued on the basis of Article 20 of the provisions introducing the Code of Criminal Procedure, observing the formal requirements set forward in Articles 235, 240, 258 and 259 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 257 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, due to the unavailability of a judge in the township, in consequence whereof any delay could result in the disappearance of traces or evidence of a crime, which traces or evidence would cease to exist before the arrival of a judge, with the participation of reporter Kazimierz Jagieła, whom I informed of his obligation to attest to the conformity of the report with the actual course of the procedure by his own signature, have heard the person named below as a witness. The witness, advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations, this pursuant to the provisions of Article 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, stated as follows:
| Name and surname | Józef Kręcina |
| Parents’ names | Józef and Anna, née Copia |
| Date and place of birth | 9 February 1894, Kocierz, commune of Gilowice, district of Żywiec, province of Kraków |
| Religion | Roman Catholic |
| Occupation | miner |
| Place of residence | the “Staszic” coal mine |
| Relationship to the parties | none |
| As regards the present case, I | am aware of the following facts: This was in 1943, but I do not |
| remember the exact date. While I | was working in the traffic office, I saw a German leading |
| a | Jew from the guard post in the direction of Skowronice. They walked some four hundred |
meters away from the “Staszic” coal mine, whereupon the German shot him dead. I could not determine his rank, for he was too far away. The Jew was buried at the spot where he fell. The wartime leader of the community, Franciszek Jasiak, was present at the burial. I do not know anything specific about these two Jews; maybe Zygmunt Leszkiewicz (resident at the “Staszic” coal mine, commune of Nowa Słupia) could say something more. The commandant of the German guard post was one Szok: a tall man, with a lean face and black hair. The guard post was located near the mine, in house no. 3.
At this point the report was brought to a close and read out before being signed by the witness.
