Teachers Decide It Shall Sup
 plant Charleston

Hartford. Sept. Is P,-Connecti- cut dancing teachers are ruling the Charleston out of the state and are Introducing its successor, the valen- cia, a Spanish tango fox trot danced in six eight time music.
 At the sixth annual normal school Of the dancing teachers club of Connecticut which opened in the ball room of the Allyn House here today, the Charleston was completely ignor- ed and particular attention was giv- en 10 the introduction of the yalen- cia by New York dance specialists.
 The Valencia has been chosen by dancing masters as the latest dance because Of the tuneful music that goes with it. according to 5. L. Deming Of Middlctown, president of the club. Mr. Deming explained that the Charleston has been carried to extremes and it no longer holds its place in ball room dances. The Charleston, he said, is a good lesson in physical instruction. but it has gone by as q popular dance since only the youngsters are doing it now. The new dance although it includes some difficult steps, is expected to give rest to knees that have been contorted and jerked into disloca- tion by the Charleston.
 Approximately 150 teachers and their staff are expected 10 attend the school during its three days of dem onstration.

 HEARING TODAY
Sixty-Three Applications Filed
 in Their Behalf

Dedham. Mass, Sept. 13 GPl-Six- ty-three affidavits in support of a motion for new trial for Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Fanzetti, con- Victed Of murder were submitted 10 Judge Webster Thayer in superior court today. All were based upon q confession by Celestino Madetros, condemned murderer. that he Y IS implicated in the double murder ;n 1920 for which Sacco and Nanzet, i were convicted. The confession exon erated them.
 Included in the list of affidavits
 was one by Nicola Sacco in which he denied complicity in the shoot- ing of paymaster and his guard in South Braintree during payroll holdup and in which he explained
 how Madeiros told him of his al leged connection with the affair. Another was that of Danes E. Weeks, associated with Maderos in the murder for which Madeiros is to be electrocuted. Weeks described conversation with Madeiros in which | he said he was a member of the Morello gang of Providence and that 1 they committed the Braintree rob- ! bery.
 The motion for a new trial was
 the latest development in d six-year r i fight for life by Sacco and Nanzetti which has been marked by world ! wide interest which has resulted in | the attempted bombing of American
 embassies and consuates in Europe and South America.
 The Madeiros confession was said 1 to have been made while he was
 awaiting an appeal for his convic- | ton on a murder charge in conncc- | ton with the Wrentham bank hold
 up during which he shot the aged
 cashier. Two companions. including | Weeks. were sentenced to life i'm | prisonment for the same crime. With 1 his execution scheduled for the week | of September ,, Madeiros obtained a
 respite so that his testimony might l be available in the event of the i granting of a new trial for Sacco
 and Nanzetti.
 | In his confession Madeiros declar-
 ed in effect tha the was present at
 the earlier South Braintree murders and that Sacco and Fanzcttl were
 not in the gang that killed and rob l bed the paymaster and his guard. l During the prcliminaries the gov i ernment announced that it would offer 27 atfidavits in it's argument
 against granting a new trial. The
 reading Of an affidavit by Sacco was 1 then begun.
 After denying participation in the | South Braintree murders he said
 that while he was in Dedham jail,
 Madeiros whispered to him one day i that he knew who had committed 1 the murders. A man named Miller,
 he said later, brought him a maga-
 zine in which he was told to look | When he did so he found note
 from Madeiros explaining that he
 was implicated in the killing of the
 paymaster and absolving Sacco and | Nanzett.
 This note was examined by Judge
 Thayer, who announced that it
 would be retained on account of its | importance.
