Treason Trial Jury Told
japanese Threatened
Provoo With Death
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-A former
American Army sergeant, on trial
here on wartime treason charges
claims through his counsel he was
forced under threat of death to
obey his japanese captors.
John David Provoo, SO, was pic
tured in two opposing lights-as a
traitor by the prosecution, as a
patriot by the defense-in opening
statements yesterday at his Federal
court trial.
The first prosecution witnesses
are expected to testify today.
Provoo, native of Sausalito,
Calf, was captured by the Japa-
nese on Corregidor in the Philip
pines 10 years ago. He was in
dicted three years ago on charges
he turned on his fellow American
prisoners of war. causing the Japa-
nese to treat them brutally and
kill one, and that he made propa-
ganda broadcasts for the Japa-
nese. He faces a possible death
sentence if convicted.
Br0adcaSts Admitted.
Defense Attorney Murray E.
|Gottesman yesterday admitted
Provoo broadcast propaganda for
the japanese. But Gottesman told
the jury he "had no choice in the
matter"
Mr.. Gottesman said the de-
fense would show Provoo made
the broadcasts under orders of
ranking American and allied Off
GERS who were also prisoners. The
attorney said Provoo at the time
of the broadcasts "was mis-
treated, beaten and in a state of
subjugation."
Turning to the indictment
count that Provoo indirectly
caused the Japanese to execute
Capt. Burton c. Thomson of
Swea City. Iowa. Mr.. Gottesman
said the captain sealed his own
doom by telling Provoo:
"You tell those dirty S. o. BIS I
don't want to give them any
thing"
U. S. Captain Executed.
Mr.. Gottesman said Capt.
Thomson operated the prison hos
pital kitchen and that Provoo was
a messenger boy for Japanese Of
f1cers who demanded special It'd
bits.
After Provoo departed. Mr..
Gottesman said. Capt. Thomson
was sent for by the Japanese and
was executed when he again re-
fused to grant their demands.
In his opening statement earlier
yesterday Assistant United States
Attorney Moses Kove said jap
anese Sergt. Seitaro Fujita han
died the actual execution of Capt.
Thomson. Fujita now is serving a
30-year war crimes sentence.
Mr.. Kove told the jury Fujita
will be brought here to "tell you
OF the very act brought about by
the perf1dy Of this defendant"
Mr.. Gottesman said Provoo
"profeSsed his love for his coun-
try >. (andD believed that in
the end his country would be VIC
torious."
