ONLY twelve to eighteen Of the

In explanation OF this rarity is
that none OF these was struck In
1904, but were made in or around
1870, when the agitation was on
to resume the coinage Of silver
dollars. None was known until
about this date, and the Govern

An hour later the advance informa-
tion became confirmed and the pris-
oners were notified. Vanzetti ex-
pressed pleasure at the news, put
Sacco remained apathetic and Madel-
ros also seemed not to care.
Having snatched their clients from
the very shadow of death, the defense
counsel faced a comparatively quiet
day. in which the decision of Justice
Sanderson was apparently the only
major point of interest. The luil was
in sharp contrast to the feverish pace
of the past few days.
II was made plain at the State
house that the governors conviction
of the guilt of the adjudged slayers
had not been changed. but that he
would be reluctant to allow the men
to 60 to their deaths while possible
court action was yet open to their
attorneys. Mr.. Hill had convinced
him that there remained a possibility
that the case could be carried to the
Supreme Court.
While the governor was explaining
the newest developments in the case
to his council, Mr.. Hill was in Beverly
presenting his plea unsuccessfully to
Mr.. Justice Holmes.
Hill sped from Beverly back to
Boston and early in the night was
brought by the governor before the
executive council to explain his re-
quest for a further stay of execution
There were indications that some
members of the council were reluctant
to approve of any stay, but eventu-
ally all voted for it.

APPEAL FOR SACCO
DECLARED UNUSUAL
No Precedent Found for Plea
to Justice of United States
Supreme Court.
By the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCtdteu
Lawyers studying Supreme Court
precedents on the Sacco-Vanzet1 case
expressed the opinion today that n
justice of the court might have power
to grant permission for the filing of
writ of habeas corpus, but added
none had exercised that authority in
their recollection.
The general practice has been for
the Justice to suggest that application
for such a writ be made to the proper
Federal district court. A number OF
petitions for permission to file Writs
of habeas corpus have been docketed
in the Supreme Court without the
lower Federal courts passing upon
them, it was recalled, but in such in
stances, when the court was in re-
cess individual justices of the court.
upon advice that such petition had
been filed. went no further than to
grant "a stay of execution until the
full court could determine whether 1t
would permit the filing of the petition.
1t was pointed out that under the
established practice of the Federal
courts writs of habeas corpus were
granted only when the jurisdiction of
the lower courts was challenged. So
far as known here there has been no
contention that the Massachusetts
courts were without jurisdiction.
With the issue centering around al
legged prejudice of the trial judge and
questioning of his rulings the usual
ground for review in the Supreme
Court would have been by writ of
error. The law provides that such a
writ must be obtained within three
months after the final decision in the
lower courts, which time has expired
in the Sacco-Vanzetti case.

At the same time statements by

Judge George w. Anderson of the
Federal District Court and Attor-
ney General Arthur h. Reading
were issued from the governors

Holmes and Anderson were in eX-
planation of their denial to issue
writs OF habeas corpus.
Statement by Gov. Fuller.
The courts of the Commonwealth
are actively engaged in the work
of considering and deciding the
various motions and petitions filed
by the counsel in these cases. The
courts themselves have no power
to grant a respite.
ITO afford the courts an opportu-

fere in this summary way with the
proceedings of the State court"
Attorney General Readings Statement
This afternoon Mr.. Arthur ID.
Hill, MIR. William G. Thompson and
Mr.. Elias Field waited upon Mr..
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of
the Supreme Court of the United
States at Beverly and presented to
the justice a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus in behalf of Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
They argued the petition at length.
This was an eX parte hearing
and the Commonwealth of Mass
achusetts was not represented by
counsel. Mr.. Justice Holmes after
hearing Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Thompson
decided that as he understood the
petition and affidavits they con-
tained no fact which would warrant
his issuing the writ, and ruled that
even if Judge Thayer had been
strongly prejudiced against Sacco
and Vanzetti, that fact would not
deprive Judge Thayer of jurisdic-
ton and legal power to decide the
case, because in Mr.. Justice Holmes
opinion nothing short of a want
of lega! power to decide the case
would authorize him (Nlr. Justice
HOlmes) to interfere in n summary
manner with the proceedings of the
State court.
The attorney general stated that
it should not be understood that Mr..
Justice Holmes found or was even
ready to find that Judgu Thayer
had been prejudiced. but simply
ruled that even if it should be
found that Judge Thayer was preju-
diced there would be no occasion
for Mr. Justice Holmes TO
interfere"
