Canadian engineer guilty of conspiracy in espionage case
Edward Mazerall, 30, national research engineer, was convicted of conspiracy by the Ontario supreme court after a three hour and fifteen minute deliberation. The judge said sentencing would wait until May 31 if he could be in Ottawa. The Crown based its case on evidence from Igor Gouzenko and testimony about two reports relayed to Soviet representatives via wartime official Gordon Lunnan. The defense argued the reports were of little significance and did not threaten security.
