Court Hears Plea for
SacCO and VanZetti

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 16.-tPl-
Four justices of the Massachusetts,
supreme court. sitting rs the full
bench, today heard arguments on the
exceptions taken by counsel for Nj
cola Sacco and Bartolomeo Nanzetti
to decisions made by Judge Webster
Thayer OF the superior court and
Justice George A. Sanderson of the
supreme court.
There were two bills OF exceptions.
The first was to the denial BY Jus
tice Sanderson Of writ Of error for
which defense counsel had petition
ed on the ground that the defendants
constitutional rights had been VIC
lated by the alleged prejudice Of
Judge Thayer. who presided at their
trial for murder.
The second bin excepted TO Judge
Thayer's refusal TO grant a new
trial, a revocation Of sentence or a
stay Of sentence.
Arthur B. Hill. chief defense ooun-
sci argued for the exceptions. At
torney General Arthur X. Reading
represented the state in opposing
them.
The Suffolk county court house IN
Pemberton square, where the hearing
was held. was closely guarded.
Attorney Hill submitted a lengthy
brief signed by himself and by Elias
Field and Richard @. Evarts as as
sociate counsel.
Mr.. Hill argued that prejudice on
the part OF Judge Thayer. <h0 pre-
sided at the trial had been clearly
shown and was sufficient TO warrant
a writ OF error and a new trial. At
torney General Reading took the
ground that no evidence Of preJu-
dice sufficient 10 require Justice
Sanderson 10 issue a writ of error
had been presented
