appeal were of the same dramatic type as those spoken by Sydney Carton at the guillotine.
 We can die but once. and the pang of death will be but mo- mentary; but the facts which show injustice cannot be obliterated. They will not be forgotten. and through the long years to follow they will trouble the conscience of those whose intolerance has brought us to our death, and of generations of their descendants. A mistake of justice is tragedy. Deliberate in- justice Is an infamy.
 Governor Alvan T. Fuller. we have been in prison seven years, charged with a crime we did not commit. awaiting he fate that every day came nearer and nearer. Per haps you can imagine what this has meant to us. And do you realize what this has meant to Sacco's wife and children, and to Vanzetti's father and mother and family at home in Italy? It is the thought not of our own approaching death. but of the suffering of those near anC dear to us in the seven years that have passed. and of the greater suffering to come, that is the cause of our bitter grief. And yet we ask you not for mercy. but for justice. We will not impose their sufferings or our own upon you.
 You cannot justly consider their suffering or ours as ground for your official action. except that that suffering may seem to you a reason for giving the most careful and un- prejudiced consideration to the two grounds of our prayer-that we are innocent and that our trial was un- fair"

That they were not given . fair trial was the second premise of the petition. Sacco and Vanzetti charged that the testimony of certain import ant eye-witnesses had been sup pressed by the government at the trial because such testimony would have contradicted the case built up by the prosecution.
 We do not intend to enter here criticism of your system of law" the petition said. We simply point out what 1t means to men of our hated class when brought before one of your tribunals. Consider the na- ture of some of these discretionary acts.
 l-"The refusal of the judge to check the district attorneys unfair cross ss-examination of both of us especially Sacco.
 2-"The refusal to interfere with the methods employed by the deputy sheriffs to secure additional jurors
 3-"The refusal to separate the two cases so that SaccO might not be injured by association with a man, who, before the same judge and by methods equally reprehensi- ble. had been previously convicted of another crime of which he was innocent
 4-"The constant suggestions to the jury of patriotic duty as con- trasted with our pacifism. cosmo- poltanism, and refusal to be drafted to fight.
 5-"The contemptuous manner and tones of voice shown by the judge to Sacco's counsel. Mir. Moore.
 6-"The repeated decisions of discretionary questions without the presence of stenographer (to which our counsel objected) so that the record would not show all that occurred"
 Prom the very beginning of the trial" the oetition charged, "the judge stirred up the political, social. religious and economic hatred of the jurors, and their fears of antago- nism against us, but covered himself by admonitions to the jury from time to time to treat us fairly and impartially; so that we were really tried not for murder, but for being radicals, draft eyaders and pacifists." " Sacco and vanzetti frankly ad- ,, mitted having anarchistic views. I've are anarchists. believers in anarchy, which is neither a sect nor a party, but philosophy that like all the philosophies aims to human progress and happiness" asserted the petition. Our goal is ultimate l elimination of every form of violence and the utmost freedom to each and all actuated by the elimination of every form of oppression and ex- ploitation of the man by the man. Our sense and ideal of justice is based on the principle of mans self respect and dignity; of the equality of men in their funda- mental nature and in their rights and duties."
 Criticism of the courts marked an- l other section of the appeal. Your institutions are said to be based upon open and even-handed justice. That claim cannot be made good if secret communications are now permitted to take the place of l public testimony. Nor can the prestige of your courts long survive | the loss of respect which will be the certain result of unredressed injus- tice."

Admits Seeing Noel

Attorney Robert I. Marsh, at his
home, % Downey Ave-, today ad-
mitted having talked with Attorney
James w. Noel about the appoint
ment Of James p. Mcdonald as
prosecutor to succeed William p.
Evans in 1928, but denied he had
been to Noel's Office with Stephen
son.
Marsh also admitted that he was
GA of the Indiana Klan.
Marsh said he had been to Noel's
office many times. He said he dis
cussed Mcdonald with Noel, because
Noel was a "close friend and adviser
of McCray," but It was merely a
suggestion and no offer was made"
The lawyer said he favored Nc
Donald for prosecutor at that time.
because he believed "he would
handle the office more like lawyer
would handle it."
Marsh declared he did not agree
with Governor Jackson's policy of
remaining silent in the face of the
recent charges, but he believed the
Governor pursued it because '.he
would be kept too busy denying all
the charges"
D. Q. Stephenson and others in
prison are better than "a lot of
these people who are criticising and
holding the State up to ridicule,"
said Marsh.

Wite7OuSh :
OrDuUaU
Is Opposed

Councilman Robert E. Spring
steen today consulted attorneys as
to advisability of attempting to
carry on the fight for impeachment
of Mayor John L. Duvall and City
Controller william c. Buser.
Springsteen, a Democrat, was the
only member of the special council
committee considering the impeach-
ment resolution who voted to carry
on, when the matter came up Mon
day night.
The Democrat may submit a mi
nority report at the next council
meeting, if he is advised such move
would be practicable.
Four Vote to Kill
President Claude E. Negley, DR..
Austin Todd, Millard w. Ferguson
and o. Ray Albertson were the com
nittee members who voted to kill
the Impeachment.
The quartet signed report sta
ting that they opposed the impeach-
ment because the mayor and con-
troller already are under affidayits
IN Criminal Court making subsstan-
TALLY the same charges as contained
in the impeachment papers.
Springsteen set out his contention
in this statement:
There has been a great deal of
unfavorable talk at home, and over
the country, about the affairs of the
city of indianapolis, as conducted
by the present administration.
Should Probe Charges
"If there is truth in what is said,
and apparently almost universally
believed, impeachment is the proper
remedy for the citizens. The facts
could be determined by the in
vestigation which has been COM
menced.
IF the specific charges preferred
are not true, the friends of Mr..
Duvau should insist upon an in
vestigation and welcome the oppor-
tpnity not only to compel proof of
the charges, but also to demonstrate
by proof in his behalf that he has
been maligned."

reached McCray in it's full details
or in its implications. A wave Of
hand stopped the suggestion. He
had heard it before, although Ste
phenson never knew that he had
been sent to the front lines after
Jackson and others not then in his
confidence had failed.
Steve Is Enraged
Stephenson returned later and
his anger at the refusal Of the offer
was Napoleonic. He ragged and
fumed and swore that McCray did
not dare to refuse, that his power
was such that no Governor. would
dare to refuse to take the aid he
offered and accept prison rather
than give what he demanded.
That one Governor had taken
that stand and had looked through
windows that shortly would be
shadowed with bars rather than
surrender even one job to the hands
of politicians evidently Jared his
sense of power.
For the moment he saw a chal-
lenge to his dictatorship. 1t was
not in his dictionary to fail or let
those with whom he dealt know that
he was not omnipotent.
That is the picture of the second
chapter of this effort to induce Nc
Cray to accept packed jury and
money in return for a prosecutors
ship.
In it stands Robert /. Marsh, KIan
lawyer, partner of the Governor, as
the man who took the former dra-
gon, now life term prisoner, to make
his offer.

Noel was in the jury room seven

emphatically had refused the Jack

may be made within few days, il
