A TRAITOR'S FATE— Quisling Given Death Penalty For Treason

By. SAMUEL D. Hales United Press Staff Correspondent

OSLO, Sept. 10.—Vidkun Quisling—the first of the European traitors to sell out to Nazi Germany today was convicted and

sentenced to death. He was found guilty by a jury of fellow-Norwegians on six counts of treason, murder and theft. The hulking Quisling, who steadfastly had denied his guilt throughout the weeks-long trial, stood erect for more than an hour while presiding Justice Erik Solem read the verdict. Solem then told the former ° Norwegian pup- | pet premier that he had the right. to appeal to the

“if you think~ the sentence is too severe or that the procedure was illegal. » “1 wish the case to be reconsidered by ' the supreme court,” Quisling replied in a low vbice. In view of the appeal, no date for the execution-was set. ” » ” SOLEM said it had been proved conclusively that Quisling dealt secretly with the Nagis before the German invasion of Norway om April 9, 1940, and betrayed his country’s military defenses in exchange for money and the premiership.

Quisling

of military “reason, civil treason,’ assistance to the enemy, murder —in connection with the deaths of 100 Norwegians killed by the Nazi occupation forces—embezzlement and theft. He also was convicted of manslaughter for the deaths of . roughly 1,000 Norwegian Jews who were gassed in Nazi concentration camps, and .of Oslo Police Chief ‘Eilifsen and 14 other Norwegians. The latter were executed after Quisling had refused their appeal for slemency.

HE VERIO Was I — on the main counts, but Quis~ iing ‘was acquitted on specific charges of stealing some state property. The jury was divided on ‘whether He knew the Jews were being sent to the Nazi gas £hambers. "1t ordered Quisling’s fortune, totaling 1,008,000 kroner, (aproximately $206,640) confiscated.” The 58-year-old Quisling, whose name became a byword for treachery throughout the world after he welcomed the German invaders into Norway in 1940 and formed a puppet government to collaborate with them, played a prominent role in Norwegian political and military affairs for three decades. » » A MEMBER of the Norwegian general staff from 1011 to 1923, he held minor diplomatic posts in Finland and Russia after the last world war and was a volunteer relief worker in the Soviet Union during the famine 'of 1922-23, He represented British interests in Russia from 1927 to 1929, when London and Moscow had no diplomatic relations, and was decorated by the British government for that service. The deco ration was rescinded when he turned traitor in 1940. » ” n QUISLING served in the Norwegian government as minister of defense from 1931 to 1933, and it was during that period that, the prosecution charged, he gathered information which was to prove of value to the Germans in 1940. After his brief term in office, he organized the Norwegian nationalist movement, patterned on Hitler's Nazi organization, and launched into a rabidly anti-Rus-sian movement that culminated in his seizure of power on Apa 9, 1940,

ELECTRIC LIGHTS OFF EARLY TODAY

Company Generator Out of Service for Hour.

Early rising Indianapolis men and women wore an ‘untidy appearance today--the result of electric power failure that kept men from shaving and prevented women from applying their make-up. For a yet to be determined reason, one of the two large generators failed at the 8. Harding st. plant of the Indianapolis Power and Light Ce. Carrying about 60 per cent of the load at the time, the generator went out at 5:40 a. m. and service was not restored until} about an hour later, Many persons were late to work— those who depended upon. electric clocks—while flickering lights at some homes made it difficult to shave or apply make-up.
