The Submarine Saboteurs

During a world war, eight men trained at an enemy sabotage school were brought by submarine and landed at night on two beaches, carrying explosives. They came ashore in enemy uniforms, then buried them and moved inland in civilian clothes. Their orders and pay came from the enemy government: destroy war industries. One claimed to be a citizen of this country. They were caught and tried before a military commission, not a civilian court. They say the Constitution guarantees them a jury trial in the ordinary courts, which were open and working.
