Moyne Killing Blamed
lon Jews Sufferinq
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Jan. 13.-Mental distress
over the suffering of Jews through
out the world was placed before an
Egyptian court by the defense today
as the basic motivation for the as
sasSination of Lord Moyne by two
Jewish nationalists who have con-
fessed the Staying. The prosecution
demanded the death penalty.
The attorney general reviewed the
facts of the" shooting November OF
Lord Moyne, British resident min
lister in the Middle East. and the
British soldier who acted as his
chauffeur.
He restated the formal charges
and, apparently anticipating the es-
sence of defense arguments, de-
manded that the tribunal entertain
no feeling of pity for the two de-
PENDANTS, Eliahou Hakim and Ella
hou Bet Souri,, on either the ground
of their youth or their political mo-
tives.
Their counsel based their defense
on their youth. the assertion that
they killed Lord Moyne in reprisal
for what they considered British
maladministration in Palestine, or
precedents in which political as
sassins have escaped the death
penalty and on the emotional effect
of persecution Of Jews throughout
the world.
