COUNCIL SUMMONED
SaccO and Vanzetti To
Die Tonight If Final
Effort Fails.
BY HENRY MINOTT
United Press Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Aug. 1O.-Massachu-
sets officials made two sudden
moves today which gave defense
counsel strong reason to hope that
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti would get another chance for
life.
The moves came scarcely ~ hours
before the condemned anarchists
were due to die in the electric
chair.
Judge George A. Sanderson Of the
state supreme court announced he
would decide tomorrow morning"
on the final plea of the defense, now
before the court.
/ Governor Alvan 7. Fuller ordered
the members of his executive com
mittee, which body must approve 4
reprieve, to meet between and
$3.50 p. m.
Previously the governor had
called into consultation some Of the
best legal minds of the state, in
GLIDING seven of its former attor-
neys general.
COuHScI LOT the COuueHlHeQ men
had asked Sanderson for permits
sion to appeal to the full bench Of
the state supreme court from his de-
cision denying writ Of error.
While not a word was said public
" by the court or at the governor
office regarding reprieve, persons
close to the case, attorneys and
many others, pointed out that it
seemed improbable that Governor
Fuller would permit the execution
to take place tonight, while there
still remained in the courts motion
which, if ruled upon favorably,
might result in freedom for the ac-
cused. If the reprieve is not grant
ed, the men will be dead when the
ruling is announced tomorrow.
The purpose of the move was two
fold: One to have Sanderson
denial overruled, secondly to have
the lives of the men who were to
be executed shortly after midnight
prolonged until after such time as
the full bench of the supreme court
could be convened.
No explanation accompanied the
announcement. Neither was there
any indication that a reprieve had
been granted or that the court had
any reason to believe that one would
be granted
