Scribbled Notes. Eichmann sat grey-faced and haggard through the details. Occasionally, he seemed to have difficulty breathing. His attorney, Dr. Robert Servatius, reported that Eichmann has suffered two mild heart attacks during the trial, but the government-appointed doctor says he has only an arrhythmia (an irregular pulse) caused by nervous tension. When he was accused of having beaten to death the Jewish boy, Eichmann furiously scribbled notes to his lawyer; his mouth twitched, and he ran his tongue over his teeth. At times, his facial tics seemed uncontrollable. He has obviously lost weight, and his pale blue eyes show anxiety and strain. The physical change was emphasized last week when Baron von Freudiger was asked if he could recognize Eichmann. The baron stared at the defendant for a long time, then said: "In my memory lives the image of the lieutenant colonel in a smart uniform standing with his legs astride, his hand on his holster, shouting at me from the heights of his 'master race.' But, nevertheless, I do think that is he."
