A key government witness was excused temporarily from testifying in the "Axis Sally" treason trial today when he refused to take an oath on the Bible. The witness, George Heinrelch Schnell, a German actor, said he did not believe in "rewards and punishment" after death. James J.

Laughlin, attorney for Mildred E. Gillws, 48, on trial for making the "Axis Sally" broadcast for the Nazis during the war, jumped to his feet to protest a milder oath, "affirming" to tell the truth. John M. Kelley, the chief prosecutor, Insisted that a witness may either "affirm" or "swear." "You're not an athiest?" asked Judge Edward M. Curran.

Schnell said he didnt know and added: "I do not believe in rewards and punishment after death." Laughlin said that a witness who does not believe in rewards and punishments after death is disqualified to testify. The attorneys then went to the bench for a long conference with Judge Curran. When it ended, Kelley said Schnell was "temporarily excused without prejudice to calling him later." Schnell played the role of an American father in a Nazi propaganda drama called "Vision of Invasion." Ulrich Haupt, 33, who played the role of the son, testified yesterday that Miss Gillars played Evelyn, an American mother who dreamed that her son was killed in the invasion. After Schnell had been excused, Kelley called Werner Black, a former official of the German foreign office. FUNERAL RITES OFO.
