 of Treason
PROMINENT NAMES

 BY THE PROSECUTOR

 During Close

Paris, February 13.-As M. Mornet, l prosecutor in the case against BOlo Pasha, charged with treason, developed his case this afternoon he frequently punctunted his arguments with the tcnce of denth."
 The cOurt-martial for the first time assumed the tragic aspect which char ! acterizes all courts-martial and which ! heretofore in the present case has been lacking, owing to the presence of styIishly dressed men and women and
 the levity of some of the witnesses and at times of the accused himself. Bolo Pasha's personality paled into insignificance as M. Mornet unrav- eled the tangled German intrigue in volving prominent personages in many countries and extending over two worlds. This is only one instance of treason in France" said M Mornet this is merely the first chapter. Oth- CT chapters will follow"
 MENTION PROMINENT NAMES The evidence from the United States appeared to be the strongest card of the prosecutor and on it he dwelt at length. M. Mornet rebuked Monsignor Bolo, brother of the accused man, for suggesting that the American evil dence was manufactured and false. Count Won Bernstorff. former German ambassador to the United States; Adolph Pavenstedt, once head of the Amsinck Banking house in New York and who now is in a Georgia intern ment camp; Gottlieb von Jagow, for mer German foreign secretary; Hugo Schmidt, former agent in New York of the Deutsche bank, who also is in- termed in the United States; Senator Charles Humbert and William Ran dolph Hearst an American publisher, were mentioned by name by the prose- cutor in his address, but he avoided any personal mention of Joseph Call laux, former French prime minister. M. Mornets summing up made a good impression during the first few hours, hut as night fell. and the courtroom became sombre interest waned, mem bcrs of the court even apparently not paying close attention until M. Mornet made passionate plea for capital pun ishment at the close of his address.
 After saying that France had es- capped the gravest danger since the Marne. M. Mornet closed as follows:
 "The eyes of our allies are on us. In the eyes of France we are judg- ing a man who attempted to do in France what has been accomplished in Russia. We must show no weakness. The world is fighting for its liberty and is in expectancy.
 BOLO SNEERS AT PROSECUTOR
 Tn times of peace have stood here many times asking the death penalty for miserable individual guilty of murder. and it was not without a twinge of regret. But today, without pity or mercy, but with sense of stern duty to my country and our al- lies. I ask for death''
 Bolo Pasha, who wept when he was defended by his brother and his for mer wife. sneered at M. Mornets plea He never moved as his accuser relent- lessly attacked him.
 Before the closing of M Mornets address word was brought in that the civil court had refused Bolo's request for an annullment of his first mar riage, thereby convicting him of big amy.
 It was a bad day for Bolo, but he smiled and bowed as nonchalently as ever as he disappeared between his two guards into his cell.
 The verdict is expected to be rem Q {oh
