As the final straps, those which held the head in place, were being adjusted, he gave a final message of forgiveness. “I wish to forgive somé people for what they are now doing to me,” he said simply. He entered at 12:20.38 and was dead at 12 & Through seven years of repeated ef- forts to save them, Sacco and Van- zetti protested their innocence of the shoe factory pay roll robbery of which they were convicted. They maintained that it was their radical beliefs and activities which had brought upon them the “persecution” of the authori- ties. The shoe worker, Sacco, and the fish peddler, Vanzetti, soon became known in many lands as the defense committee organized and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars, which were epent not only for legal talent to fight the case, but also for extensive propaganda. Both bore fruit. Counsel succeeded counsel, but the fight went on until eight motions for a new trial had been argued and the Massachusetts Su- preme Court had three times been asked to pass upon exceptions. Even after sentence had been pronounced last April, there remained the review | of the wholl conducted by Gov. Alvan T. and his advisory committee, consisting of President A.

BOSTON, August 23.—The crime {for which Nicola Sacco and Bartolo {meo Vanzetti were sentenced to die| | was a double murder. On the morning of April 15, 1920, | Frederick A. Parmenter, paymaster, {and Alexander Berardelli, his guard, arrived at the factory of Slater & Morrill Co., South Braintree, near Bos- | ton, to pay off employes. They carried inn satchels $15.776. As they were | about to enter the factory door two| men approached and fired at them.| Both fell, mortally wounded. The two robbers grabbed the tchels. An automobile, which had °n waiting nearby, sped up to the curb. The satchels were thrown in and the two robbers clambered into the car, which was driven off at high epeed. Armed When Arrested. The robbery and murders at South Braintree had been preceded by simi- lar crimes. Police and detectives had definite suspicions, and they set a trap to catch the owner of an automobile which was in a garage at Brocton. On the night of May 5, 1920, Sacco and Vanzetti, with others, appeared at the garage and asked to take the car out. The garage keeper's wife slipped into her house and telephoned the police. Sacco and Vanzetti left the garage without taking the car, and it was testified later that they followed the garage keeper's wife to her home when she made the call and that they acted in a queer manner. Police arrested them on a Brocton street car. Both had revolvers in their pockets. Both Sacco and Vanzetti told con- flicting stories of their doings. They later protested they lied to conceal their radical activities, through fear of deportation, and not because they had committed murder. At the time the Department of Justice was active in deporting allen radicals, and numer- ous “round-ups” and ralds were being made, and Sacco and Vanzetti had been advised by a lawyer to collect literature they had distributed. Sacco and Vanzetti were indicted September 11, 1920, and went on trial at Dedham May 381, 1921. In the meantime radical sympathizers had taken up their case, and demonstra- tions intended to aid them were staged THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Criticisms of Massachu- setts law crept into newspapers of standing, and men and women of im- portance openly questioned the guilt of the two men and the fairness of their trial. Thousands of words had been printed about the case in pam- phlets and circulars. The general in many countries. Their trial, held in Judge Webster Thayer's Superior Court at Dedham, attracted much at- tention. Fred H. Moore of San Fran- cisco was chief of defense counsel. Their radical activities were brought out at the trial, and it also wi brought out that both were pacifists and had gone to Mexico during the war to escape the military draft. The prosecution, directed by District At- torney Frederick G. Katzmann, ex- plored their radical views, asserting this was made necessary by Sacco and Vanzetti asserting this as a defense. Tried to.Prove Alibis. Prior to the murder trial Vanzetti had been found guilty in Judge Thayer’s court of a robbery at Bridge- water, and for this he was sentenced. But evidence relating to this was ex- cluded from the murder trial by stipu- lation. Sacco and Vanzetti pleaded not guilty and both gave alibis. Sacco told of being absent from employment on the day of the murder to attend business in Boston, and produced evi- dence to support this. Vanzetti told of being at work, delivering fish, and offered testimony to substantiate this. The State produced jvitnesses who identified them as mef they saw at the scene of the crime. Expert testi- maeny was given to show that a bullet taken from the body of one of the murdered men vag_consistent with Sacco’s revolver. Defense experts gave opposite testimony. Both were found guilty, but sentence was stayed pending motions for a new trial. A Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee was organized, and financial aid was sought to help them. The cry was raised that the men had been found guilty because they were radicals. About this time the first of the dem- onstrations in their favor was made by a labor committee in Milan, Italy. In the seven vears that dragged out before Gov. Alvan T. Fuller made his decision on the case numerous threat- ening letters were received by men prominent in the case, and bombs were placed near the American em- bassies at Paris and Buenos Aires, the American Legation at Montevideo and other places in Mexico, Europe and South America. Demonstrations Occur. On December 21, 1921, Judge Thayer denied the first of the motions for a new trial. This was met by demon- strations at home and abroad. Sev- eral supplementary motions for a new trial were made from time to time, but all were denied. Meanwhile Van- zetti was in the State prison. Sacco was held in Norfolk county jail at Dedham. In February, 1923, Sacco begun a hunger strike. Alienists de- clared him sane. and he was forcibly fed in March. This broke his hunger strike. While in the Psycopathic Hos- pital at Boston, where he had been taken for examination, Sacco at- tempted suicide by beating his head against a piece of furniture. He did not severely wound himself. In December, 1924, the question of Vanzetti's sanity was raised, and he was taken to Bridgewater State Hos- pital for observation. In April ofl that year he was declared sane. Moore withdrew as counsel for Saceo and Vanzetti in November, 1924. He was succeeded by Thomas F. and N. J. McAnarney. Later they with- nent Boston attorney, became counsel for the two men. Thompson argued before the Supreme Court of Massa- chusetts an appeal from Judge Thayer's denial ¢ Supreme Court, from pa murder cases er’s trial Madeiros Makes Confession. In January. 1926, Celestino Madel- res, under sentence of death in State | prison for murder of a bank cashler, made a statement, in wiuch he de clared Sacco and Vanzett{ were inno- cent of the Braintree murders, and that a gang of which he had once been a member had committed the crimes. The gang Madeiros spoke of was the “Morelll gang"” of Providence, R. I. The defense committee sought a new trial on the strength of this state- ment. Judge Thayer denied this in October, 1926. Meanwhile veral stays halted the execution of Madeiros while an appeal was taken from Judge Thayer’s ruling on the Madeiros ev dence. On April 5, 1927, the Supreme Court upheld Judge Thayer's decision on the Madeiros statement, and a few later Sacco and Vanzetti were taken to Dedham Courthouse and there Judge Thayer pronounced upon them the sentence of death, By this time the case had attracted world-wide attention, and petitions of astonishing length, containing many thousands of signatures, had been ad- dressed to the Governor. When Judge Thayer was about to impose sentence he asked Sacco and Vanzetti if they had anything to say. Both made dra- matic pleas of innocence and openly sccused Judge Thayer of prejudice and prevented by law a new trial, but the | ing on questions of fact in | sustained Judge Thay- | tenor of the more conservative criti- cism of the trial was that it was held at a time when “the Nation was suf- fering from war hysteria,” and in other quarters the cry of persecution of radicals arose. The clamor eventually focused on Gov. Fuller. He held the right of par- don; he could commute their sentences or he could prepare the way for a new trial. All those who were making ef- forts to save Sacco and Vanzett! turned their eyes toward Gov. Fuller. Thompson carried to the Governor a petition from Vanzetti asking ‘“‘not a pardon, but justice.” Sacco refused to sign the petition. Thompson ex- plained to Gov. Fuller that Sacco had felt the strain of imprisonment and that alienists had indicated that he was abnormal in certain respects, and asked the Governor to consider a plea ’tor Sacco, although he had not signed t. mes Advisory Committee. The petition was' accompanied by the statements of five newspaper writ- ers who covered the trial, and these intimated that Judge Thayer had been biased and had spoken outside of the ‘courtroom in a manner that revealed this alleged prejudice. Gov. Fuller then began an investi- gation of the case. He appointed an advisory council, comprising A. Law- rence Lowell, president of Harvard University; Samuel W. Stratton, presi- dent of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and former Judge of Pro- bate Court Robert Grant. On June 29 respites were granted by the Gov- ernor for Madeiros, Sacco and Van: zetti, postponing their deaths up to and including August 10. The Governor and the advisory council then began separate investi- gations of the case. A large number of witnesses were examined, and Bacco, Vanzetti and Madeiros were questioned in the death house, where they had been taken after sentence. Goverfor Upholds Thayer.

WASHINGTON QUIET DURING EXECUTION Secret Service Agents Co-| operate With Police to Pre- vent Any Disorder. Washington was believed to be safe today from any violence as the result of the Sacco-Vanzetti execution in} the unseen protection of the law. Se- cret service agents of the Departmen: of Justice and plain clothes men from the detective force, their presence un- known to the throngs in every public place of the city. constituted a force of “minute men" prepared to cope de- cigively with any emergency arising out of the execution of Sacco and Van- zetti. Absence of any public demonstra- tion in the Capital as a result of the sentence imposed on the two men wa attributed by police officials today largely to the extra precautions taken to preserve quiet and order in the face of threatened disturbance. Every per- son of suspiclous character in the Capital known to the police was un- der surveilance, and evidently none dared to make a menacing move. Augmenting the regular police force the cordon of secret agents was main- tained around every important public building, particularly the Capitol, | White House, State Department and the Department of Justice. Others pro- tected the homes of cabinet officers and justices of the Supreme Court (o prevent the recurrence of the bomh outrage of 1919 at the home of Attor- ney General A. Mitchell Palmer.

It was as quiet and as orderly in the Capital today as police officials could hope for under circum stances unusual everywhere in the country No additional measures of protec- tion were ordered today, although all | officers on duty were impressed with the necessity, as they were last night, of maintaining the utmost vigilance on their posts. This avas to be expec ed in view of the anticipated disorde immediately following news of the ex- ecution in Boston. “We have the situation well in hand,” Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superin- tendent of police, repeated today, “and are ready for any emergency that may arise. We do not anticipate any trou- ble, however.” The taut protective cordon of special guards and police around public build- pulled even tighter than pre- viously last night’as the climax of the Sacco-Vanzetti case approached. Capital Forces Mobilized. police reinforced the guard forces at all public buildings, giving especial attention to the temporary White House, the home of Secretary of State Kellogg, the Capitol, Post Office Department, City Post Office, Union Station and Department of Jus- tice Building. On all porticos of the Treasury De- partment and State Department Buildings the lights burned brightly to aid the guards in spotting any sus- picious characters. A score of detectives was told off in pairs as details for various public buildings. Theaters were watched closely. Reserves were held at all downtown precincts ready for action. As the hour of execution drew near, all of the highest police officlals gathered at police headquarters. Maj, Hesse, Inspector Henry G.

The Governor declared that he be- lieved Sacco and Vanzetti had had a fair trial, that both were guilty, that Jufige Thayer had not been prejudiced, that he was “not impressed by the Madeiros evidence,” and that he would not extend clemency to either man. Dismayed, but not without hope, the defense committee then sought other means of saving the two men. U. 8. Judges Refuse to Act. After Gov. Fuller had refused clem- ency, successive legal steps were taken by the defense counsel. Justice Anderson of the Massachusetts Su- preme Court and Judge Thayer of the Massachusetts Superior Court refused intervention, and were upheld by the tull bench of the Massachusetts Su- preme Court. Chief Justice Taft and Justices Holmes, Brandeis and Stone of the United States Supreme Court declined to intervene. Meanwhile Gov. Fuller and his council granted a further respite to midnight, August 22.
