Morton Sobell (born April 11 1917 in New York City) was an American engineer who worked for General Electric and Reeves Electronics on military and government contracts. Sobell was the third defendant along with Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, at their 1951 espionage trial. (He and his family had earlier fled to Mexico in June 1950, but had been forcibly repatriated by an armed gang two months later.) He was found guilty along with the Rosenbergs, and sentenced to 30 years. He was sent directly to Alcatraz. A guard informed him of the execution of his friends, the Rosenbergs. He was released in 1969.
