COUNCIL GROVE, Kans., June %.
The attempt Of Samuel Klein and
his father, Morris Klein of Chicago. to
beat the fastest rail time between
their home city and Los Angeles in
an automobile, ended in disaster near
here yesterday, when their machine
left the road, killing the son and seri-
ously injuring the father.
Leaving Chicago at o'clock yester-
day morning, they piloted their road
ster to ST. Louis without incident and
roared through Kansas City at 2:11
pm, minutes ahead of the
schedule announced for the 2,440-mile
route. They covered the 551 miles
10 Kansas City at an average of APP
proXimately SIS miles an hour.
Average Is Miles an Hour.
Turning westward on the Santa Fe
Trail en- route 10 Santa Fe, \. Mex,
they maintained an average of about
as miles an hour. AS they approached
Bushong, 10 miles east of here, the
road narrowed at a culvert near which
another car was parked. The roadster
missed the bridge and hurdled a small
stream. 1t landed on the bank of the
creek and fell back into the water.
When farmers and motorists reach
ed the machine Samuel was dead. His
chest was crushed. His father was I'M
conscious and was removed to hos
pital here. He sustained a fractured
skull, his left arm and right hip were
broken and his right foot was crushed.
Physicians said he had little chance
TO recover.
Driver Blinded by Sun.
Witnesses said that The driver APP
parently was blinded by the sun. A
clock on the instrument board of the
car stopped at 5:37 o'clock, The ma
chine was so badly smashed that res
cuers had difficulty in removing the
men.
II the clock on the roa dster stopped
at the time OF the crash they covered
approximately 6S5 miles in IA hours
and 81 minutes elapsed time, an aver
age of more than AZ miles an hour.
The schedule called for arrival in Los
Angeles within SO hours, Z hours fast

ahead of schedule when they crashed.

them as they escaped. Moreover,
when Sacco was arrested he had a
pistol which is admitted to be the
kind from which the fatal bullet was
fired. In the controversy between the
experts, one side striving to show that
the bullet must have been, and the
other side that 1t could not have been
fired through that pistol, we are in
clined from an inspection of the photo
gra phs to believe that the former are
right; If they are, there could be lit
tie or no doubt-even if there were no
evidence--that the owner of the pistol
fired the shot. But even if we assume
that all expert evidence on such sub
jects is more or less unreliable, we
can be sure that the shot was fired
by tho kind Of pistol in possession OF
Sacco. Then. again, the fatal bullet
found in Berardelli's body was of Il
type no longer manufactured, and so
obsolete that the defendants expert
witness, Burns, testified that with the
help of two assistants, he was unable
to find such bullets for purposes of
experiment; yet the same obsolete type
of cartridges was found in Sacco's
pockets on his arrest. 1t is true that
the expert Hamilton deposed that in
these cartridges the knurls were true
with the axis of the bullet. while in
the fatal bullet they were at an angle
OF three degrees, which led him to be-
lieve that they must have been manu-
featured at different times. But the
expert Robinson-himself ballistic
engineer in the Winchester factory
where these bullets We're made
wholly refuted this statement by show
ing that the fatal bullet was so de.
formed that 1t was impossible to de-
termine it's original axis within three
degrees and that the Winchester com.
pany had never manufactured bullets
with knurls not parallel to their axes.
Such coincidence Of the fatal bullet
and those found on Sacco would, If
accidental, certainly be eXtraor-
binary.
FINALLY, there is the fact that both
of them were armed for quick action
when arrested. Sacco had fully

Zetti had a fully loaded .3S-caliber re-
volver. 1t is claimed that Italians,
particularly those who get into Grim
inal difficulties. commonly carry
weapons. but carrying fully loaded
firearms. where they can be most
quickly drawn, can hardly be common
among a people whose views are
pacifist and opposed to all violence.
Such a condition cannot be ex
planned by the fear of being arrested

tempt to set up such an excuGe. In
deed, they could hardly have alleged
that they went fully armed in order
to be prepared to shoot officers who
attempted to arrest them for the rea-

ried a pistol because there were so
many robberies and other crimes;
Sacco that he put his pistol in the
belt of his trousers to fire away the
cartridges in the woods the day he
was arrested, but that in conversation
he was detained from doing 50, had
forgotten about his pistol and was
quite unconscious that he had it in

ment seems incredible.
Guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt"
"On these grounds the committee
are of opinion that Sacco was guilty
beyond reasonable doubt of the muir
der at South Braintree. In reaching
this conclusion they are aware that
1t involves a disbelief in tho evidence
Of his alibi at Boston, but in view of
all the evidence they do not believe
he was there that day.
The evidence against Vanzetti Is
somewhat different. His association
with Sacco tends to show that he be-
longed to the same group. His hav-

cartridges loaded with buckshot. of
which his account sounds improbable,
and which might we'll have been
used in the gun some witnesses saw
sticking out OF the back of the car.
His falsehoods and his armed condi-
ton have a weight similar to that in
the case of Sacco. In one way they
are little stronger, because ne Vir-
tually confirmed q statement OF ON
Ger Connolly that he tried to draw
his pistol when arrested, for he testi-
fed that the officer pointed re.
yolyer at him and said, You don't
move, you dirty thing-an admission
that the officer thought he was max
ing movement toward his pistol.
On the other hand, all these actions
NAV be accounted for by conscious
ness of guilt of the attempted ROB.
berry and murder at Bridgewater' OF
which he has been convicted.
Abb Held Weak.
"The alibi of Vanzetti is decidedly
weak. One of the witnesses. Roseh'
seems to the committee to have oeen
shown by the cross examination 70 De
living at the trial; another, Mrs. Brlnl'
had sworn to an alibi for him In the
Bridgewater case, and two more OIL
the witnesses did not seem certain OF
the date until they had talked IL over.
Under these circumstances. II ne was
with Sacco. or in the bandits car. or
indeed in South Braintree at all that
day. he was undoubtedly guilty; for
there is no reason why, If he were
there for an innocent purpose, ne
should have sworn that he was In
Plymouth all day.
Now there are four persons 10
testify that they had seen him--Doll-
beare, who says he saw him IN the
morning in a cap on the main street
of South Braintree: Levangle, VINO
said he saw him-erroneously at the
wheel-as the car crossed the tracks
after the shooting and Austin I. Reed,
who saws that VanZetti swore at him
from the car at hatfield railroad
crossing. The fourth man was FaulK-
ner, who testified that he was asked
a question by Vanzetti in smoking
car on the way from Plymouth to
South Braintree on the forenoon or
the day of the murders, and that ne
saw him alight at that station.
Faulkner testimony is impeached
on two grounds; first that he said the
car was a combination smoker and
baggage car, and that there was no
such car on that train, but his descrip-
ton of the interior is exactly that OF
q full smoking car: and, second, that
no ticket that could be so used was
sold that morning at any of the sta
tons in or near Plymouth. and that
no such cash fare was paid or mile
age book punched, but that does not
exhaust possibilities. otherwise no one
claims to have seen him, or any man
resembling him who was not Van
zetti. But it must be remembered,
that his face is much more unusual
and more easily remembered than
that of Sacco. He was evidently not
in the foreground. On the whole, we
are of opinion that Vanzetti also was
