"No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."
If there are not two witnesses, I take it to mean that he has to confess to being a traitor in open court, or there will not be a conviction.
I understand that you are not going to read it that way. It is something that I have already seen constitutional scholars argue, just as they argue the meaning of the second admendment.
