In Słupia Nowa, on 4 May 1948, at 4:30 PM, Stanisław [?] Tomczyk from the Citizens’ Militia post in Słupia Nowa, acting pursuant to Article 20 of the provisions introducing the Code of Criminal Procedure by order of the prosecutor from the 2nd District of the Prosecutor’s Office in Kielce (file no. ŻN 66/47, ref. 20.31/48), while observing the formalities listed in Article 235–240, 258, and 259 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, with the participation of reporter Jan Sepioło, whom I have instructed of the obligation to certify the compliance of the Protocol with the course of procedure by signing, heard the person named below as a witness. Having been advised about the significance of the oath, about the right to refuse to testify for reasons mentioned in Article 104 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, [and about] the liability for making false declarations in accordance with Article 140 of the Penal Code, the witness took the prescribed oath and testified as follows:

| Religious affiliation | Roman Catholic |

Regarding the present case, I have the following knowledge. It was in 1942, on 7 July. [These people were] brought from the prison in Kielce: Władysław Okulski; Józef Daś; Stefan Dąbrowski, residing in Słupia Nowa, Kielce district; Warzeniec Kędziora; Józef Kędziora; Wanda Kędziora, residing in Milanowska Wólka, Słupia Nowa commune; Józef Bis, residing in Trzcianka, Słupia Nowa commune; Boroń, residing in Kosowice [?], Grzegorzowice commune, Opatów district; Jan Krowa, residing in Dębniak, Grzegorzowice commune, Opatów district; Liszka – not known to me at all.
The people mentioned above were hanged in Słupia Nowa on power poles [and] buried in the yard of Jan Świątkiewicz, residing in Słupia Nowa. [They were murdered] probably in retaliation for killing a German whom Konstanty Kozłowski shot, because he would come to see his fiancée.
The executions were carried out by the military police and Gestapo. I do not remember all the names, because they were unknown to me; one of them was called Dunkier – a military policeman from the military police post in Bieliny, Bieliny commune.
The corpses of the hanged people were taken by the families and former partisans in 1944 and buried in the cemetery in Słupia Nowa.
The testimony was concluded and read out before signing.
