 When court EOconvened to hear Che verdict, Mongibeaux warned against any denonstratlons. Then hs read the sentence and verdict, and in cold, matter of fact voice declared: aThe session is ended" !"
 Tho outcome of the trial of Francea most notorious eollaboTa- tlonlst never was in doubt from the time its carly sessions turned Into . turbulent denunclatlon of Laval by judge and jurors.
 Now Laval's only hope lay in an appeal Co Gen. charles Dc Qaulle. 1f that fails-and by all signs it will-kaval will be executed by Q firing squad, probably at the Montrouge fortress just outside Paris and possibly by the end of this week.
 Tho trial came to Q whirlwind close today with the appearance of two secondary state witnesses and Prosecutor Andre Mofnets sumiaA- tisn, capped with . demand for the death penalty.
 Bizarre Trial
 The jury received the case after five days Of bizarre testimony and squabbllng iE the French high court of justice, Laval himself was not in the courtroom during the last two days, refusing Co appear before Q judge and jury which he denounced as prejudiced.
 Mornet, summing up for the state, feclted . long list of crimes credited to the "most hated man in ETanee," and wound up with Q ringing cry:
 ''Thls is tho justice France hes been demanding for five years. I demand the death penalty"
 The testimony came to . drAb close with one oe the final state wite nesses-EAon Noel, former French ambaaaador Co WarsaW-fefusing co testify in the absence Of the des tendant because my career owes much Co Laval"
