Government Rests
In Military Trial Of
7 Accused Nazi Spies
CoIepough Loses Motion
To Dismiss Choree Of
Lurking Behind Lines
BY the Associated Press.

=
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The
Government rested its case today
against two accused Nazi agents
and the defense lost a motion
for dismissal of a charge that one
of them. William c. Colepaugh,
had been found lurking" behind
United States defense lines in
wartime.
Army-assigned counsel for the
Connecticut-born Colepaugh argued
that the prosecution had not intro
duced any proof that he sought to
conceal his identity after coming to
this country with Erich Gimpel, his
German-born co-defendant, by SUBJ
marine late last October.
The specific motion was that Cole
|paugh be found innocent of violat-
ing the 82d article of war under
which he was accused of having
been found lurking, under an as
sumed name, behind the lines of de-
fense of the United States in time
of war.
Says Gimpcl Was Important"
Although the greater weight of
evidence in the trial so far has dealt
with activities of the 26-year-old
Colepaugh, his 35-year-old COM
|panion was described yesterday in
this fashion:
"Gimpel had = private Office in
the Security Army headquarters at
Berlin and had his own private Sec
retary. He appeared to be an i'm
portant individual as he knew every
one around the headquarters and
was treated with respect, because
they saluted him; he did not salute
them"
The words are Colepaugh's, taken
from a statement which he gave
the FBI and which was entered as
Testimony. The two men are ac-
|cused of entering the United States
from a submarine November 30 to
commit sabotage and espionage.
Schooled for Secret Mission.
The Mantle Conn youths state
lment also told how he jumped ship
last year in Lisbon and went to
Germany, where he attended a
