STAY OF EXECUTION REFUSED BY COURT :Habeas Corpus and Writ of Error Petitions Also Are Denied. | | | By the Associated Press. BOSTON, August 8.—Justice San- derson of the State Supreme Court, today denied petitions by counsel for Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti for a writ of habeas corpus and a stay of execution. He also denied a peti- tion for a writ of error. H Justice Sanderson said that after giving the arguments all considera- tion he must deny the application for a writ of error. “This court,” he continued, “has @o authority to grant a stay of sen- tence. “The questions included in the peti- tion for a writ of habeas corpus are not proper to an action for a writ of | habeas corpus and are therefore dis- missed.” One Witness Heard. Arthur D. Hill, chief defense coun- | sel, argued for nearly two hours and Attorney General Arthur K. Reading replied briefly. The only witness was William G. Thompson, former chief defense counsel, other offers of proof being submitted by Hill in affidavits. | Hill asserted that Sacco and Vanzetti never had been given a fair trial. He charged that Judge Webster Thayer | of the Supreme Court, who presided at their trial and refused them a new | |trial, had shown prejudice. ‘either | consciously or unconsciously He ad- | mitted that the petition for a new | trial, upon which he was to appear | before Judge Thayer at Dedham this afternoon, had not been filed within the time limit required by the stat- utes, but said that he would argue at | that time that the Superior Court had | @ right to act upon it, Thompson testified that before he ! was officially connected with the case | {and when he was simply a “friendly | observer” he had sat in the Dedham | court for three and a half hours dur- ing the examination of jurors for the trial o Sacco and Vanzetti. “At that| | time Fred M vas cl ! o oore was chief defense | | Criticizes Judge Thayer. | At each objection by Attorney | Moore,” Thompson said. “Judge Thay- er S!a‘!efl at Moore as though he was an object of curiosity, and then, turn. | |ing to the jury hox with what T can | only call a contemptuous sneer, he | would sav. “Oblection overruled " v General Reading called at- ‘V‘n(lofl to the fact that lhi‘; Asedh:'d} | been pending for seven years. . | | \\l:lllu dn‘no' charge that Mr. | Hill has been dilatory,” he continued dants have been dilatory. | ave not at any stage been deprived of anv 8; ig;:‘; There now enters the question of the ‘v\!iaf"hv"r the people of this common- h"Th % writ of error, ‘\ e conclusion, has been bro B the last step the dv!pndams‘ 4:‘:\ht|:: in the courts of the State and for (he purpose of removing the case from the irisriction of the State courts into th f 1\! the Federal courts. “This commonwealth has the wel. fare of every person within its borders €qually at heart.

Excavation work, for which a per- mit apparently had not been obtained, caused the collapse late Saturday night of the rear of the five-story Fellow- | Col. Oehmann said he was endeavor- ing to get in touch with the contrac- tor, with a view to obtaining his ex- | planation for this “serious breach of | the building regulations.” The build- ing inspector said all efforts to locate the contractor this morning proved un- availing. Bomb Theory Blasted. ~ Joseph Bogart, assistant building inspector, declared that the contractor, after the collapse Saturday night, told | him that there had been but little ex- cavating done in the basement of the building, but an investigation had dis- closed otherwise. “The announcement of the building | inspector blasted the theories that a bomb might have caused the 80-year- old five-story brick structure to crash into Jackson Hall alley shortly be- fore midnight Saturday. Col. Oeh- | mann at first said that the collapse | might have been caused by an ex- plosion, but he explained today that this opinion was predicated on the as- ertion that no deep excavation had een made under the building. The contractor had been issped a permit for installing press machinery in the rear of the building, but he had not obtained permission to dig in the foundation, according to a careful search of the building inspector's records, Bogart declared. | Officials Escape Cave-In. While officiale of the inspector’s office were investigating the ruins this morning, a large section of the re- maining structure crashed near them with a roar that frightened occupants to the front. Orders were issued at once clearing the entire building of its occupants, due to danger from flying debris. Oehmann said there was no danger of the front portion of the building falling, as the ruined section was a| unit of itself. Following a conference with Fire | Chief Watson, an engine company | was dispatched to the scene and early this afternoon the engine was pouring a high pressure stream of water against the bulging walls still stand- ing in an effort to send the remaining part of the rear building to the ground, Seed Bureau Homeless. The collapse made homeless the | Seed Distribution Bureau of the De- | partment of Agriculture, whose 40 | employes used the upper floors of the building. A representative of the pub- lic buildings office was assigned to find a temporary home for this bureau, which requires about 10,000 square feet of office space. Most of the rec- orde and a large quantity of experi- nw‘n(al farm seed were lost in the ruins. Oehmann criticized the contractor for failing to put in an appearance at the wreckage today. “I guess he is busy somewhere else, but I don’t think any other business he could have is as important as this,” Oehmann stated. Bogart reported that Saturday night the contractor told him he had dug a pit “4 or 5 feet deep” against the wall of the building, preparatory to in stalling a heavy printing machine. The contractor denied that the excava- tion had gone near the footing of the wall, and said that he had gone down a safe distance in the center of the foundation.

Webster, standing apart from the | group at the pilot house, rushed to- | ward Lamby and was dropped in his tracks under the blazing gunfire from Alderman, according to the guards- men aboard the captured boat, who hurriedly prepared to shove off in their launch to effect a final surrender of the alleged rum runners. Alderman was said to have shot and instantly killed Sanderlin as the Jaunch turned about and headed back across the narrow stretch of water separating the two boats.

Dak., August 8.— An American naval policy which wouid push to completion the building of 12 cruisers with 8inch guns in addition to those already building or authorized was one of the possibilities of discussion by President Coolidge with Secretary Wilbur who arrived today as a guest at White House.
