This siman preserves the court testimony documents (gviyat edut) submitted to the Chasam Sofer regarding the agunah case of Rizl, wife of R' Leib of Semnitz, who drowned in the Danube on 26 Sivan 5571 after falling from a lumber raft. The documents include physical simanim, clothing identification, eyewitness accounts, and tevi'as ayin testimony, though the Pest rabbi notes the visual recognition is of poor quality due to the deteriorated condition of the body. No final ruling by the Chasam Sofer is included; the siman serves as the evidentiary foundation for the case.
