"EVIL-MINDED ACTS"
Rec. noon. LONDON, August 31. Quisling was guilty of the most farreaching and most evil-minded acts of treason in Norwegian history, said the Public Prosecutor, summing up at the trial of Quisling. Evidence had shown that Quisling collaborated with the Germans both before and after the invasion of Norway and did nothing to prevent the ill-treatment of the Jews which had shocked the world. Quisling frequently interrupted the proceedings with complaints of alleged ill-treatment by the police while in gaol, which he said "would be enough to break the spirit of a lesser man." The Judge told Quisling prisoners were infinitely worse treated during the occupation.
