Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were not executed for treason so they are improperly placed on this page - per the main article about the Rosenbergs,

On March 29, 1951, the Rosenbergs were convicted of espionage. They were sentenced to death on April 5 under Section 2 of the Espionage Act of 1917,[30] which provides that anyone convicted of transmitting or attempting to transmit to a foreign government "information relating to the national defense" may be imprisoned for life or put to death.[31] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:9750:AC50:5DC:BA31:EE0B:6F58 (talk) 16:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
