BOSTON, Passos have been fined” ten dollars each in the municipal court for picket- | ing the State House. The charge against them is loitering and saunter- ing. All three appealed. Army Man Goes Free. Paxton Hibben, formerly in the diplomatic service, and now a captain in the United States Army Reserve, was acquitted altho he admitted hav- ing been among the pickets..-Judge Sullivan, before whom the eases" were tried, ‘said that he believed Hibben had not heard the police order to move along altho the officers on duty declared that they had warned each of the picketers individually. ; . | ““T am not guilty of sauntering or | loitering,” Hapgood said in his state- ment, “According to Funk and Wag- nalls’ definition of these words, saun- tering means ‘an idle stroll’ and loitering means ‘idling’ or ‘lingering idly by the way.’ idling or wasting time, nor was I rest- ing. : : “On the contrary, I was engaged. in the serious business of trying to help save human life. I was trying to persuade governor Fuller to pre- | vent the execution of my comrades Saceo and Vanzetti, both of whom were entirely innocent of the crime of handitry with which they were charged. They were trying to build a better and more just social system and have now been legally murdered, crucified for opposing injustice in the same way that many of the greatest | men in history have been murdered } and crucified. Brands Investigation. “T was not loitering but was con- veying to Governor Fuller a message, asking him why, if his conscience was | clear, he had held the investigation. | in seeret behind closed doors, far from the public eve, where the brutal char- acter of the frame-up could not be exposed. This fact made me feel that the governor’s conscience could not be clear. a “If trying to save life “is we ing and loitering,’ then I ai of the charge. If trying to ae Governor Fuller to prevent murder is | not ‘sauntering and loitering’ then I | am not guilty even tho Governor Ful- ler did not heed my persuas%on and | allowed two innocent men to die.” Kraska Denies Charge. Kraska spoke as follows: “T deny that I was sauntering adi | loitering. Together with other Amer- ican citizens I walked on the sidewalk in front of the State House on Sat- urday morning, Aug. 20, for a serious: and definite purpose. I consider that it is ‘my duty to protest against any attempt to send workers to death upon such inconsistent evidence. as was brought out by the state against Saceo and Vanzetti. “Remembering my American his- tory, from grammar school, (for I cannot claim any more schooling than that, owing to the economic conditions which forced me to work at the age of fourteen) that William Lloyd Gar- rison was dragged thru the streets of Boston for views contrary to the then | existing powers I thought how he is today accepted as heroic, and statues are erected to his hono¥ in this city. With that lesson in mind I attempted to persuade peacefully the present - authorities against shamefully carry- ing out the disgraceful murder of these two workers. “Tt wafked with my other comrades (some of whom are here with me) solemnly and without interfering with | anwone whatsoever, carrying a card with the inscription: ‘Try it on’ (re- ferring to the cap which was identi- fied as Sacco’s but never tried on him) as one of my expressions to: pre- vent a judicial murder, which has since been carried out.” Round World Fliers in Turkey; Hop Off Today CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 31.— The American round-the-world plane Pride of Detroit arrived here’ at: 11: o'clock. and William Brock, ‘the pilots, plan to resunte their flight tomorrow morn- ing, if weather conditions permit. Daily Worker Struggle to Save Sacco, Vanzetti Lauded by Newark ILD By LEO KLING (Wo ker Correspondent). At an cothustastic meeting held at the Hungarian Workers Home ‘n New- ark last week, the International Labor Defense branch of that city made a collection of $17.00 for The DAILY | WORKER. Finding the need very great, the comrades, dug into their pockets and raised the sum to $20.05. They were not satisfied. They began to investi- gate-the condition of their treasury.’’ They thereupon took the balance of the money they had and donated the full amount of $35.05 to The DAILY WORKER. The comrades of Newark gave” their. support to The DAILY WORKER be- cause of its splendid fight for Chl war prisoners, particularly of” fight for Sacco and Vanzetti.
