Stone indicated that no immediate decision was likely when he announced that Douglas was enroute to Washington and would participate in the court's decision after his arrival. No members of the army, except ex-cept the military commission, were admitted to the court room, and it was assumed that Murphy, a lieutenant colonel, was absent for that reason. The court issued no explanation of his ab.ince, however. Briefs filed by defense counsel who- themselves were appointed in the-presidential order creating the military commission disclosed dis-closed also for the first time that the defendants had sought habeas corpus writs unsuccessfully in a lower court.

The defense attorneys, Cols.J uassius M. uowell and Kenneth Royall, disclosed that the Nazis had denied the governments sabotage sabo-tage charges in their trial, now in recess after 16 court days. "The petitioners testified," the defense brief said, "that they did not intend to commit any acts of sabotage. In the case of two or more petitioners, this testimony was definitely corroborated by other evidence produced by the prosecution. All of the petitioners deny their guilt.' The unprecedented hearing, the most sensational development of the most important war trial since Pearl Harbor, opened in a jammed and heavily-guarded chamber of the huge marble supreme court building.

The brief also brought out that the defense had sought to exercise exer-cise "one peremptory challenge" in connection with a certain member mem-ber of the military commission but had been overruled. The "-" defense also complained that the commission had admitted admit-ted individual "confessions" of. the defendants over their objections. Prosecution attorneys led by Attorney General Francis Biddle and Maj. Gen, Myron C. Cramer, judge advocate general said that all nations traditionally "in time of war have denied belligerent enemies access to their courts." "That'is one of the earliest and most rudimentary forms of political poli-tical and economic warfare," the prosecution contended. "It is an integral part of total warfare, and today the nation that will not wage total war usually meets total to-tal defeat" The outcome of the hearing if favorable to the prisoners may make it necessary for Mr. Roosevelt to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for all persons, as did Lincoln during the Civil war, some legal authorities said.
