administered food To the patient with
the aid of Jail attendants.
Judge Webster Thayer's action TO-
day in committing Sacco TO the hos
pital resulted in another postpone
ment. Of indefinite length this time.
Of hearings on motions for a new
trial brought by defense counsel.
The murder and robbery of pay
master and his guard in South Brain
tree. which resulted in the arrest and
conviction of Saccn and Vanzetti, oc-
Cured in April. 1920. The men were

During discussion in court today
over the place of commitment OF

shouted from the prisoners box.
I The judge paid no attention to the
