 off than if we proceed to execution
 on the basis of the trial already
 held; the shadow of doubt which
 abides in the minds of large num- Ibers of patient investigators of this
 whole case will have been removed. And if on second trial Sacco and
 Vanzetti should be declared guiltless everybody would rejoice that no monstrous injustice shall have been done. We. submit these views with no reference whatever to the person |ality of the defendants and without allusion now to that atmosphere of radicalism of which we heard so much in 1921.

PULITZER URIZE EDITORIAL.

The Advisory Board of the Pulitz- CT School of Journalism made tue annual award for the best editorial to F. Lauriston Bullard, We sub- nit" published in the Boston Herald, October 26, 1926.
 The editorial is herewith printed.
 In our humble opinion Nicolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti ought not to be executed On the warrant of the verdict returned by jury on July IA, 1921. We do not know whether these men are guilty or not. We have no sympa- thy with half-baked views which they profess. But as months have merged into years and the great de- bate over this case has continued, our doubts have solidified slowly in to convictions, and reluctantly we have found ourselves compelled to reverse our original judgment We hope the Supreme Judicial Court will grant a new trial on the basis of the new evidence not yet exanl- ined in open court. We hope, the Governor will grant another re prieve to Celistino Madeiros so that his confession may be canvased ill cEen court. We hope, in case our supreme bench finds itself unable to legally authorize a new trial, that our Governor, will call to his aid a commission of disinterested men of the highest intelligence and charact- CT to make an independent investi- gation in his ebhalf and that the Governor himself at first-hand will participate in that examination if, as a last resort, it shall be under taken.
 We have read the full decision in which Judge Webster Thayer, who presided at the original trial, rend- CTS his decision against the applica- ton for a new trial, and we submit that it carries the tone of the adyo- cat rather than the arbitrator. At the outset he refers to "the verdict
The Alaskan., 1927-05-27

tion; the department and the at- torney joined in placing spy in the cell next door to Sacco's, and the prosecution admitted the fact in court.
 Now as to Maderios: A criminal with a bad record, true,a ,and under |sentence of death. But the Govern ment relied in part on one of his confessions to convict him of mul| der. His evidence was accepted against himself when his own life was at stake. His evidence now is offered in behalf of two other men whose lives also are at stake. We submit that Madeiros should be placed in open court, facing jury and a judge, and subjected to ex- animation and cross-examination
 He may not be lying, but the criter- l ion here is not what judge may think about it, but what jury
 might think about it. The question l is, Would the new evidence be a
 real factor with a jury in reaching a decision.
 We submit that doubt is cast on the verdict ofthe jury by the i'm portant affidavit made after the trial by Capt. c. H. Proctor of the State
 Police. On the stand, testifying as an expert, his evidence was under stood by the jury and the judge to
 be that the fatal bullet issued from Sacco's pistol. Careful examination Of the record discloses curious facts. Capt. Proctor did not here reply to direct questions. His affidavit states what the record implies, that de-
 vice was fixed up in advance for lodging direct answer to a direct question. His replies were under
 stood to mean that he believed the
 bullet came from that weapon. He
 allowed that impression to go
 abroad But his affidavit contra
 diets that testimony. Now, when the Supreme Court dealt with that
 point it expressed no opinion as to
 whether or not an "ambiguious ans
 wer" had been arranged to obtain conviction" The court ruled only
 that the trial judge had decided that no such prearrangement had
 been made and that the Supreme Court could not "as a matter of
 law" set aside the ruling of the trial judge.
 For these and other reasons we hope that the resources of our laws
 will prove adequate to obtain new
 trial Let 1t be remembered that
 the new trial is asked for on the basis of evidence never before the
 Supreme Court previously. The court has ruled on exceptions to the .old trial, never on all evidence for
 new one. If On new trial the

of a jury approved by the Supreme Court of this Commonwealth" and later he repeates that sentence. We The Supreme Court never approved taat verdict. What the Court did is stated in it's own words thus: we have examined carefully all the ex- captions in so far as argued, and hnding no error the verdicts are to stand." The Supreme Court did not vindicate the verdict the verdict The court certified that, whether the verdict was right or wrong, the trial judge performed his duty un- der the law in legal manner. The Supreme Court pressed no judgment whatever as to the validity of the verdict or the guilt of the defend ants. Judge Thayer knows this, yet allows himself to refer to the yer dict as approved by the Supreme Court"
 We submit, also, that Judge Thay- ers language contains many innu endos which surely are unfortunate in such a document. The petition for new trial is based in part on the affidavits o 1.-two men, Letherman and Weyand, connected respectively with the United States Government for thirty-six years and eight years and both now holding responsible positions out of the Federal Service Judge Thayer says that one of these men seems for some reason to be willing to go the limit in his affida- wits against the Government of the United States" and he refers to ''prejudiced affidavits, which appear to be easily obtained nowadays 2 The changes are rung on certain phrases also, as fraudulent conspir acy between these two great govern ments," meaning the Governments of the United States and Massachu- setts. The judge asserts conspir- acy charge which was not made by counsel for the defense; he asks 'who pumped this curiosity into Ma deiros;" he compliments the prose cution and refers slightingly to counsel for the defense.
 We submit that the evidence, fl any, in the files of the Department of Justice having any bearing on this case ought to be examined in open court, or examined in private by the United States Attorney Gen eral and reported upon by him be- fore this case shall finally be decid- ed. We have no idea what the files may contain. MT. Weyland said in his affidavit: "The conviction was the result of cooperation between the Boston agents of the Department of Justice and the District Attornty We do not know that this is true but we know there was coopera-

The Flanders poppy which pro, vided cheer to the marching soldiers and gently watched over the fallen heroes, grew amidst complete de- vastation On the battlefelds oI France-beween abandoned trench es and even in No Mans Land-thus typifying the courage of the men who fell. Because immediately aft CT the war where the battle had been the fercest and the bloodshed the greatest the poppies grew most profusely, the French women tell you today that the poppy IS signi1- cant of the sacriticial blood of the men who fell. It is because oI this close association to the su- preme sacrifice made by the men who fell in France. that the poppy aas become the memorial flower ot the American Legion and the Am erican Legion Auxiliary, and is sold annually by these organizations to raise money to aid those for whom the war is not yet over.
 On Memorial Day poppies or pop py wreathes will be reverently placed by these two organizations upon the graves of the comrades who gave their lives that we might live. On the tomb of the Unknown Soldier will be placed a wreath of thous- ands of poppies sent from every State and also from the Alaska De- partment. The Petersburg Unit sent it's share and is represented in this wreathe. It is also doing it's bit in this work of earning money to help the disabled soldiers. The ladies of the local Unit ordered 500 poppies which they are offering for sale this week at 10 cents a piece. Many of the business houses are purchasing a number of them to use in their Memorial Decorations.
 The poppy has a double mission it reminds the public that the war is not yet over for many, and it helps to raise funds for relief work for the disabled soldiers and their fam lilies. All over the land Memorial
