after a long investigation, had pre-
sented to his council new reasons for
delay.
Those reasons, in brief, were the
contention of Arthur d. Hill of de-
fense counsel that few more days
were needed to prosecute his eleventh
hour fight through the remaining le-
gal channels, and the decision by JUS
tice Sanderson to defer until today an
nouncement of his decision whether
to permit the defense to appeal to the
higher court exceptions taken to his
earlier denial of a writ of error in
favor of the condemned men.
Denied by Federal Judges.
The reprieves came after the de-
fense's hope of possible Intervention
by the Federal courts had been
blasted by announcements from JUS
tice Holmes of the United States SUI
preme Court and from Judge George
w. Anderson of the United States Cir
cult Court that they would entertain
no motions for writs Of habeas corpus.
Justice Holmes declared he could
find no authority unless he were con-
| vinced that the trial court had no
| jurisdiction. He was not SO con-
vinced. he said, and even If prejudice
on the part of the presiding judge was
as strong as alleged 1t would not de-
| prive the court of jurisdiction.
I'm my opinion, nothing short OF a
want of legal power to decide the case
authorizes me to interfere in this sum-
mary way with the proceedings of the
State court" he wrote.
Judge Anderson in a statement
issued jointly with that of Mr.. Justice
Holmes shortly before midnight de-
clared he was unable to take a differ
ent view.
Mr.. Hill and others for the defense
visited Justice Holmes at his Beverly
home and urged upon him. as they
have before the Massachusetts courts
that affidavits by newspaper men and
women showed Judge Webster Thayer
had been strongly pre1udiced, and for
that reason the condemned men ought
| to be given new trial.

P.wIS. August 11.--"They Are
Alive" was the eight-column headline

special edition story of the respite
granted to Nicola Sacco and Bartolo-
meo VanZetti. Other captions beneath
the headline read; Gov. Fuller retreat.
ed before worldwide condemnation.
and ''the workmen's movement hence
forth will prevent the ASSASSINATION OIL
these two fnnocents.'
The reprieve is described by il HUI
mantle as n miracle of an aroused
universal proletariat's conscience. ana
its article concludes with the word
Nov lets exact the liberty OF the
two martyrs
Interest at Fever Point.
In an editorial signed by the So
eialist Deputy Valiant -Couturler,
L'Humanite says:
'At the moment of the assassination
the most brutal capitalism, the most
cynical and best equipped, the I'M.
Derialism with tempered steel and
crushing wheels, the typical regime
of hn,lrCeois dictatorship. the Ameri-
can capitalism, was forced to fall
back"
II refers to the shameful abandon
ment, such as that of the American
Federation of Labor.
As the hour for the execution ap'
preached last night the interest III tue
Sacco-Nanzetti case, which was uheA-
ampled by any foreign happening IN
recent years, reached fever'polnt. Inc
imagination of the Frenchman was
fired by the spectacle of the two men
waiting in the deathhouse for the Ia
tai current, while friends were NOV
ing heaven and earth in last effort
to save them. All through the eve
ming there were frequent telephone in
ouiries at the Associated Press oii1ce
from those anxious for news OF the
fate Of the two men.
Execution Awaited.
Late dispatches reaching the news
paper offices last night were contra
dictorv. but the majority here felt the
men would be expected at midnight.
Even the radicals seemed to realize the
futility of demonstrations and quietly
awaited the event, hoping against hope
that the more optimistic cables might
be right.
The police authorities, fatigued by
the constant vigilance of the last few
DAYS. were relieved by the news of the
respite. Anticipating the execution,
the radicals planned a series of dem
onstrations for today in the Paris dis
trict, and although elaborate prepara-
tions were made to cope with them, 1t
was feared they would not pass off
without trouble. The police believed
that the demonstrations would be post
poned when the news spread that the
condemned men had at least Il more
days to live.
