HABEAS CORPUS SOLE
HOPE FOR CONDEMNED
Lawyer Who Delyes Into Law And
Precedents Sees Possibility OF
Delaying Execution to Oct.

Washington, Aug. tPs-Supreme
court lawyer who delved into laws
and presidents today generally be-
lieved that the logical procedure
open for Sacco and Vanzetti to con-
tinue their court fight would be to
apply for a writ of habeas corpus
in federal courts.
Should the district court at Bos-
ton refuse to grant a writ, counsel
for the men could appeal to the cir
cult court OF appeals and upon fail
ure there could then ask the SUI
preme court to pass upon the qucs-
ton. 1t would be customary while
such appeals were taking their
course. for execution to be stayed.
Counsel for the men could also
apply to any justice of the supreme
court for a stay OF execution until
that court recoRvenes next October,
supporting it with a showing that
they would at that time be asked
for q hearing.
The time for asking a supreme
court review of the case has eXpr-
ed. What effect the failure of the
men to petition will have on the
possible action by an individual JUS
tice is a matter of conjecture.
