Major interest in the financial

some sections of the street" look

would be temporary.

Second: IF, irrespective OF the

The other two questions TO

Defense Lawyers Argue Proof Of
MadierOS' Statement

Dedham, Mass, Sept Is Up
Celestino Madeiros, who has con-
fcssed to a part in a double murder
| for which Bartolomeo Vanzetti and
, Nicola Sacco were convicted and
who has eXonerated them, displayed
marked aversion for visiting the
scene of the murder defense coun-
sci argued today. Madeiros is I'M
| der sentence of death for another
murder
Today was the second day of ar
gument by William G. Thompson,
chief of the counsel seeking a new
trial for Sacco and Vanzetti. He
after the murders in South Braintree
Madeiros had lived near the scene
of the shooting but had never en-
tered the town.
Taking up Madeiros's deposition,
which has been attacked by the
government, Mr.. Thompson argued
each point in an effort to show it
to be in harmony with known
facts.
How does it happen" he argued,
that a man who lived only three
miles away for two or three months
should avoid South Braintree in the
many rides he took? I can only be-
lieve Madeiros was exceedingly
anxious not to be seen in South
Braintree after the crime commit
ted there"
| He dwelt at length upon testi-
mony Of witnesses at the trial as it
compared with the deposition of
| Madeiros. Statements relative to
the movements OF the murder car
conceded throughout, he said he
laid emphasis upon the ignorance
Madeiros had shown of the topo-
graphy Of South Braintree. He ex-
planned that the alleged visit during
the holdup and murder gave him his
only glimpse of the place, that he
had been drinking, was excited. and
had but imperfect vision by reason
of his position in the back seat Of
the automobile.
"If his had been an instructed
story these striking features of topo-
