By the Assoclated Press. Madrid, March 21.—The judges in the court-martial trial of Alcala Za- | mora and the civillan Republican leaders charged with participation in | the December revolution were consider- ing their verdict tonight. As the trial entered its last stages today the result seemed to be a fore- | gone conclusion—short prison sen- tences for any of those convicted and | @ royal pardon soon for all. It 8 | considered possible some of the civilian | leaders might be acguitted entirely. Severe punishment, if meted out, it was believed, might provoke grave na- tion-wide protests which would imperil | the government. | Victoria Kent, woman lawyer, who is defending one of the accused, submit- | ted a defense analogous to that pre- | sented by the other attorneys, reiterat- | ing that the movement had been of a political character and declaring it | prevented the possibility of a Com- | munist revolt. She also made the | point brought up by another of the defense attorneys that the present | Spanish government is illegally con- stituted and without the powers of prosecution. The other defense attorney who questioned the government's legality was Prof. Luls Jimenes Asua. Declar- ing that Spain was under a tyranny, he daid that when the monarchy went its constitutional bounds ‘it did not_deserve any respect.” Gen. , president of the court, violently rang his bell. Undaunted, Asua continued to charge that neither Primo de Rivera nor Berenguer nor Azar constituted a legal government. Asua would not be stilled al president continued to proclamatios “mu:mm mation he was not ing of the mation was not guilty of the act of revolution.
