zetti for double murder at South
Braintree last year. took the witness
stand today in his own defense. He
followed Vanzetti, who had testified
under direct and cross-examination for
more than eight hours.
Sacco began with a brief sketch of
his life, covering the period from his
birth in Italy in 1891 to the day of
his arrest with Vanzetti in Brockton,
May 5. 1920. He denied that he was
in South Braintree on April Is, the

sui. entered the court room as spec
tators shortly after Sacco began to
testify. They remained until adjourn

on the day of their arrest had gone
to West Bridsewater to meet Mike

to New York. where he had been sent
by a number of Italians at an East
Boston meeting on May 2 Sacco testi-
fed. He said Vanzetti brought word
that Andrea Salsedo and Roberto Ella,
Italian radicals. had been detained by
department of justice officials in New
York on unknown charges and that
spies were hunting for other radicals.
Sacco said that Boda could not get
his automobile, so he and Vanzetti
boarded street car for Brockton on
the return trip to Stoughton. They
were arrested On that car.
Sacco denied ever having seen a
brown cap introduced into evidence by
the state as one found at the scene of
the murder. He tried it on when de-
Tense counsel asked him to see if it
fitted him. He said it did not

Deputies, Near Houlton -
Officers Car Runs Into Open
Culvert and Prisoners Are
Hurled Out

Houlton. Me-, July Gun play,
fists, clubs, a wild automobile chase
and the ditching of an official car
figured in a clash between three of
High Sheriff Grants deputies and a
gang of six alleged rum-runners early
today in Orient and Hodgdon's Mills.
On Stag Rock bridge the officers,
Deputies Grant. son Of the sheriff,
Clifford and Whitney, aided by Aub-
rey Snow, seized a liquor-laden car
and arrested two men who refused to
reveal their identity. AS they were
being handcuffed and placed in the
officers automobile, two more of the
rum cars" appeared out of the morn
ing mist. Apparently recognizing the
officers the four men in the two ma
chimes fed. A fusilade of shots from
the deputies revolvers was sent after
them, and bullets whistled back from
the cars. Leaving Deputy Whitney to
guard the seized car and dropping
Snow at Amity to telephone for
assistance, Deputies Grant and Cliff
ford started on a thrilling chase to
Hodgdon's Mills.
There the four were overhauled, but
in attempting to arrest them Deputy
Grant was injured on the chest by a
blow from a club. One of the four
also was believed to have been in
jured by a blow from the officers.
Outnumbered two to one and handi-
capped by the lack of cartridges. the
two officers were unable to take them
into custody and they again dashed
away in their cars.
Rushing through the mist, the off,
GERS automobile ran into an open
culvert the covering of which the
pursued men were alleged to have
torn from the road. The officers and
their two handcuffed prisoners were
thrown out and barely escaped with
their lives. The two cars, believed
to have contained thousands of dol
lars worth of liquor. with good
start, then got safely away.
The two prisoners were brought
10 the county Jail here and locked up.
The number plate of their car is
registered in the name of a Bangor
man.

SLOW PROGRESS
IN SELECTION JURY
IN BASEBALL TRIAL

Chicago, July 6-No jurors had
beens chosen at the end OF today's
session in the baseball trial, although
three were accepted tentatively by
both sides. Indications were that
the selection of the twelve men to
weigh the evidence would go into
extra innings. some attorneys today
predicting that a jury would not be
complete for two weeks.
The defense, in examining venire-
men today, laid stress on the testi-
mony of an accomplish, asking each
one if he healiZed that a person
called an accomplice in legal terms
would be called a traitor in inter-
national dealings and a 'snitch' in
the language of the street"
Some of the men were asked if
they realized ball players were the
only persons bought and sold in this
country since 1861, while another
question was whether the prospec-
tive juror understood that the men
on a Chicago team, for example,
were picked up all over the coun-
try by scouts just as Sultan's har-
EN- is gathered"
A motion by the defense that the
state tell which of it's witnesses

French Protest
Export Provision
of New Tariff Bill

Paris, July 6-(By the Associated
Press)-The French government this
evening forwarded to NJ. Jusserand
French ambassador in Washington
for transmission to the American
state department, a protest of the
French chamber of commerce a.
gainst the provisions of the new
American tariff law calling for in
spection by American agents of the
books of French exporters for the
purpose of determining the ad val
orem duties to be collected by the
United States.
French exporters are said to be
greatly disturbed over this feature
of the tariff measure and declare
that under no conditions will in
spection be tolerated. 1t is pointed
out that such privilege as the A
merican law requests is not accorded
even to the French government ex-
cept in unusual instances. The
French in their protest say the are
willing to give to treasury depart
ment agents full statements upon
which the ad valorem tax can be
based.
At the office of the American COM
mercial attache it was explained
that the treasury department agents
at Paris had made five hundred in
vestigations of exporters costs of
production within the past year. and
the ad valorem duties collected at
New York had ben based upon the
reports, which consisted largely of
voluntary statements by the expor-
tiers.
The American Chamber of Com
merce at Paris considered the French
protest at meeting held this after
noon, and the matter was referred
to the special tax committee The
opinion was expressed, however
that the law probably would have
to be modified. in as much as it
would be virtually impossible to get
the French exporters to consent to
inspection of their books. 1t was
further said that there was a feeling
among American business men in
France that the provision would be
found impracticable, but that a
compromise might be reached by
having the French open their books
to public accountants.
Washington. July 6-(By the AS
sociated Press)-The protest of the
French Chamber of Commerce which
has been forwarded to the state de-
partment by the French government
is against provision in the emer-
gency tariff law, which became eff
fective May % for a periodofsix
months.
This provision, calling for inspec-
ton by American agents of the
books OF foreign exporters to deter
mine the ad valorem duty to be COL
lected by customs officials in this
country is understood to have ben
the subject of informal CONVERSE
tons among some of the diplomatic
representatives here. No informal
action has been taken however.
