The owner erected in the doorway a post which permitted persons to enter while blocking anything of the width of a casket. Finally members of the defense committee stripped from the walls of the undertaker’s room the re- ligious insignia inconsistent with the theories of the two men and substituted floral decorations. Here, where the room must be emptied of one group of mourners before another can be admitted through the single door, the bodies will lie until Sunday. On Sunday afternoon they will be lifted up and carried in procession out of the Italian district, past the state house where more than 200 persons submitted to arrest in pro- test against the executions, to the common where meetings in their favor had been barred. From there they will be taken to Torest Hills for cremation. The ashes of Sacco will be given to his wife for burial in a place she has nslon Slor Guality - Service - Yalue - H.J.
