MORE WITNESSES
EXONERATE ACCUSED
Declare They Saw the Double Murder
at South Braintree, Mass, and
shootsts Were Not
Sacco or Van
zetti.

Dedham, Mass, June 24.-Pedro Is
corta, a Iaborer, and an eyewitness to
the double murder at South Braintree
for which Nicola Sacco and Bartolo-
meo Nanzetti are on trial here, testi-
fed to-day that neither of the defend
ants was the men he saw doing the
shooting
Iscorta said he was some 40 to 50
feet away when he saw two men shoot
ing down Frederick A. Parmenter, pay
master, and Alessandro Berardelli, his
guard He was positive neither of the
highwaymen was Saeco or Vanzetti. Is
corta was the second eye witness for
the defense to testify<that Sacco and
Vanzetti were not the men who did the
shooting so far as they knew. Emilio
Falcone, an Italian laborer, so testified
yesterday.
Henry Giro, another laborer, who
said he was working near Iscorta, con-
tradicted the latter's story. Giro said
the man he saw shooting Parmentet
was fair and slender while Iscorta had
described him as short and dark.
On cross examination Iscorta after
being shown a map said he must have
been 95 feet from the shooting. Giro
said emphatically that he did not
think the man he saw shooting Par
menter was either Sacco or Vanzetti.
Sipriano Gutierrez, another laborer,
testified that he saw the shooting from
a distance of 80 to 90 feet. Neither
Sacco nor Vanzetti looked like the men
who were shooting, he said.
William Brennan, a shoe cutter, tes-
titled that he was at swork on the first
floor of the shoe factory, in front of,
which Berardelli and Parmenter were
killed. He contradicted the testimony
of Louis Pelser, a witness for the
state, who was working about 80 feet
away from him. He said that Pelser
did not open any window or stand in
any window or look from aty window
at the time of the shooting. Pelser
had previously testified for the state
that at the first sound of shooting he
had thrown open one of the opaque
windows and had looked out. Pelser
also said he had scratched down on his
cutting board the number of the au-
tomobile in which the bandits fed.
Brennan said that he himself was
the first man TO look out, that he
glanced through a broken window and
the first thing he saw WAS Berardelli
on the ground after he had been shot.
When he saw the automobile il was
too far away for him TO get the mum
Der, Brennan said.

SAY OFFICIALS
And When Identity of the
Prisoner Was Revealed
He Was Promptly Re-
leased-Sinn Fein Had
Denied That De Valera
Was Arrested

Dublin, June "a. tBy the Associated
Press s)-Eamonn De Valera, the Irish
republican leader was arrested Wednes-
day night near this city and later re-
leased, it was neutrality-suspicious. to-
day. There had been earlier denials
from the Sim Fein authorities that
he had been apprehended.
1t appears certain that De Valera
was arrested either in error or through
overzeal on the part of the officials
concerned.
The arrest, it is understood, took
place at Blackrock, county Dublin.
The prisoner was detained for the
night and his identity being learned,
he was released yesterday afternoon.
1t was supposed at first that man
resembling him had been arrested, and
on this ground the Sim Fein author
tiles denied the reports.
As matter of fact it is declared
here there is no intention on the part
of the authorities in Ireland to arrest
De Valera. This statement would
appear to be borne out by the fact of
his being released when his identity
was established,
