creditable to the United States. 1t is
the passion for justice and amazing
dauntlessness in the pursuit of justice

SACCO CONTINUES
ON HUNGER STRIKE
ForcibIe Feeding Threat Con-

18th Day of Fast.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated EFeSS.
BOSTON, August 13.-The hunger
strike Of Nicola Sacco was unbroken
today when the breakfast trays were
removed from the cells. Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, strengthened and prepared
by the liquid foods taken yesterday
after his fast, ate two frankfurters,
bread, milk and coffee and suffered
none of the i'll effects felt previously
when he suddenly broke fast.
The first lull in the case in many
weeks found both prisoners apparently
better spirited today in their cells at
Charlestown State Prison. although
Sacco's continued refusal Of food has
alarmed some of his friends, who are
considering asking Warden Hendry
to brighten him into eating with a
threat of forcible feeding.
Twenty Eighth Day of Fast.
Sacco will have tasted % days today,
but has yet to show any sign Of
weakness.
Rumors that the prisoner had col.
lapsed or had gone mad brought quick
denials from the prison and a declara.
ton by Warden Hendry that If they
persisted, he would consider refusing
any further information on the condi-
ton Of either man.
DR.. Joseph Mclaughlin, the prison
physician, talked with Sacco, who
walked to his cell door with little eff
fort. DR.. Mclaughlin does not feel
any concern for Sacco's health and let
it be known that he had not yet made
plans to force the condemned man to
break his fast.
Saccos adversion to forcible feeding
is well understood. Once before he at
tempted hunger strike while in the
Dedham Jail. He refused food for
month, but when the authorities re.
sorted to stronger methods than per-
suasion Sacco's strike came to a quick
end.
Vanzetti Cheered by News.
Bartolomeo Vanzetti was cheered by
the news that his sister. who has been
detained a week in France through
passport difficulties, was finally to sail.
Shortly before his scheduled execu-
ton last Thursday morning he ex-
pressed regret that he could not see
her before he died, and after being
respited declared his JOY at the pros
pect Of a reunion before he must go
to the electric chair, should the courts
refuse his latest pleas.
