pass On the findings of Judge Webster
Thayer, in Norfolk Superior Court
yesterday, in overruling five motions
seeking a new trial for Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Socialists,
convicted of the murder Of a paymas
ter and his guard at South Braintree
in 1920. Counsel for the convicted
men intimated today that the case
also would be taken to the United
States Supreme Court if necessary.
Judge Thayer, who presided at the
trial in 1921, denied all five motions,
which were based on atfidavits of wit
nesses at the trial repudiating the
testimony then given, on alleged new
evidence. and on charges of irregu-
larities in procedure at the trial. In
his finding the judge said that if he
had erred in his decision the supreme
court would correct the error. Sacco,
who last year undertook hunger
strike as protest against the delays
in diSpoSing of the motions for new
trial, and who later was sent for a
time to hospital for the insane, is

issue of the proceedings. Nanzettl

millions of husky, two-fisted European
workers eager to come to the United
States, and this country was threat
ened with flood of alien workers
ready and willing to work for almost
any wage, and that it was the Re-
publican party which had the cour-
age to meet this invasion and pass
the necessary legislation to protect
American labor.

ministration of President Coolidge,
declaring that he was the consistent
friend of the workers Of the country,
and declared he favored rehabilita-
ton CT those disabled in industry.

tax plans were before Congress. He
declared that the result was "a loss

Costly Indian Ornaments

Some say turquois or turks is
named after Turkey, from whence
came the stones that were used in old
European jewelry. Really the finest
ones came from Persia, but that was
before the wealth of the blue and
green stones of America had been
commercialized. Long ago the Apache
and Pueblo Indians of the southwest
ern United States used them in guam
titles, for turquoises, unlike most
stones, do not have to be mined, but
appear on the surface of the ground
IN bright greenish-blue spots and
strains. The Indians used to gather
the turquoises and rub them down
into the shape of beads. which they
wore in long strings. Imagine how
costly such a. string would be today
when one small stone. while 1t does
not rank in value with the gems par
excellence, namely the diamond,
sapphire, ruby and emerald, Is still Of
sufficient value to bring a good price.
