Nazi Saboteurs Captured! FDR Orders Secret Tribunal; 1942 Precedent Invoked by Bush Against al Qaeda The Washington Post George Lardner Jr. January 13, 2002 The military tribunal had gone on for 18 days, and the judges worked through the weekend to reach their verdict. They sent it on Monday to the president, who determined the penalty. Six of the eight defendants were condemned to death-the sentence the president had said he wanted even before the trial began-while the other two received long prison sentences. To ensure there was no attempt to appeal, the eight accused and their lawyers were kept in the dark until the following Saturday morning, when Provost Marshal Gen. Albert L. Cox went from cell to cell accompanied by a chaplain. By then, their time was almost up. The executions began at one minute past noon; at 1:04 p.m. the last of the six was pronounced dead. They were buried secretly in a potter's field at Blue Plains in Southwest Washington three days later. The defendants were would-be saboteurs sent by Nazi Germany, and their capture in June 1942 was one of the few high points early in a war that had started off badly for the United States. Their trial, as President Franklin Roosevelt ordered, was conducted in strict secrecy, with seven U.S. Army generals sitting as judge and jury, relying on evidence that would not have passed muster in a civilian court
