Hawaii Is Praying
BY Fl. r. EKINS
United Press STAFF Corresuon de,

Onited PreSs stan Correspondent
HONOLULU, .. H., Aug. Co.,
With new mystery of the sea
added to the high apprehension al
ready felt for the missing Dole
racers, Hawaii has turned to prayer
in behalf of the girl and men whose
fate on fights from the mainland
is unknown.
The news that Capt. William p
Erwin apparently had been forced
down while some 500 miles from
San Francisco came as stunning
blow to those already straining ev-
cry effort to locate Miss Mildred Do
ran and the four fliers missing since
they hoped off Tuesday from Oak
land.
Governor Wallace r. Farrington
In a statement reminding the peo-
pie Of Hawaii that every material
and human aid had been brought
into action in the search, called up
on residents of the territory to
unite in prayer in behalf of those
in danger, invoking the aid Of AL
mighty God for their rescue and
safe return"
Martin Jensen, successful Dole
race aviator, declared early today
that-he believes both Captain Erwin
and the crew of the biplane Miss
Doran" had been forced down at
approximately the same place in
the Pacific Ocean.
"Auggy Pedlar probably was fiy-
ing low during the daylight hours
after he took off from Oakland
said Jensen. when it became dark
he probably attempted to climb
higher to find the horizon and then
fell into a tail spin.
II believe that this also is what
happened to Erwin"
"The same thing happened to me.
I was flying low until dark and
then tried to climb. I went into a
spin, but corrected it and tried to
follow bearings according to an
imaginary horizon, relying on an
altimeter to clear the water.
"Pedlar had heavy load and so
did Erwin. Therefore feel certain
they had experiences similar to mine
and were unable to come out of the
spins"

ROME, Aug, 20.-Though disap-

Lodged With Highest

Obtained Yet to Save

Bu United. Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti to-
day played out what may be their
last cards in their game of life and
death.
Their attorney, Michael Angelo
Musmanno, declaring himself CON
fident" and hopeful on the basis
of the justice of the case," lodged
here today two petitions for writ
of certiorari with the United States
Supreme Court.
He charged that Judge Thayer,
who presided at the Vanzetti muir
der trial, was "prejudiced" and that
his state of mind had robbed the
two condemned men of due process
of law" as guaranteed by the four
teenth amendment to the United
States Constitution.
The proceedings in the Norfolk
County (Mass.) Superior Court lead
ing to the sentence of death were
bluntly called a naked form of law
and not in truth and fact due
process of law withing the meaning
of the fourteenth amendment"
Questions Record
Musmanno visited the Supreme
Court after nine o'clock with his
petitions ready
Assistant Clerk of Court Harold
Wiley inquired if Musmanno had
the record Of the case to file with
the petitions for writs. Musmanno
furnished papers he had, but 1t was
suggested these were insufficient.
Upon Musnnannc's promise to for
ward Immediately the requisite rec
ord Of the case, lodging of the petit
tions was permitted. They are not
in full effect, however, until these
records arrive: that is. the matter
IS not officially docketed yet with
the United States Supreme Court.
Musinanno communicated with
his chief Attorney Arthur D. Fill
in Boston, for further instructions.

Justice Hall of the Massachusetts,
Superior Court will now grant the
requested stay Of execution. This
stay would enable the Supreme
Court of the nation to act OH the
writs.
Justices Scattered
But the justices of the highest
tribunal are scattered at great dis
tances, and unless there is a stay
of execution from Hall or another
source, the Supreme Court body will
not act before October at the earl
lest. But the inexorable sentence
would be fulfilled in Charlestown
Pricsn next Monday night

Judge James A. Morton, Jr., who
took the matter under advisement.
This petition was a duplicate of
one previously denied by Federal

Mrs. Snyder AYERS that she did not

She opens to public gaze the emo

heart so many newspaper writer's,
novelists, clergymen, and psycholo-
gistS have attempted to analyze.
"And still love him--nOw.

Her narrative is the outpouring
OF a doomed woman in contempla-
