The governors advisory commit
tee invited counsel for the govern

as opening to the defense lines of
evidence that were barred under

DECLINES TO ACT
Believes SaCCO-Y anZetti Had Fair
Trial---Death Week Away

Boston, Aug. 4 P}-EXactly one
Bartolomeo Nanzetti's seven year
battle to escape death for murder
will end in the electric chair at the
Charlestown state prison unless their
counsel can discover an avenue of
appeal to the federal courts.
That possibility is admittedly
slender one.
Governor Alvan T. Fuller in
momentous decision of $500 words
definitely closed their last hope OF
escape by appeal to the judicial or
executive branches of the govern
ment of the commonwealth by re-
iecting their plea for clemency just
before midnight.
He declared he believed with the
jury which tried them in 1921 that
they were the murderers of Fred
erick A. Parmenter, South Brain
tree paymaster, and Alessandro Ber-
ardelli. his guard
He further asserted that their
trial had been fair and just and that
he saw no reason for granting them
rehearing.
The full text of the governors
finding follows:
Text OF Decision
The text of the governors de-
cision follows.
ION April 18th, 1920 a paymaster
and his guard were held up, robbed
and brutally murdered at South
Braintree, Mass. On May 5th, 1920,
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti We're arrested; they were later
tried and found guilty of the mur-
der. The verdict was followed by
seven motions for new trial and
two appeals to the Supreme Court
for the Commonwealth, all Of which
We're heard and later denied. Prior
to the trial of the two men in this
case. Nanzetti had been arrested.
tried and convicted of an attempted
holdup on December "a, 1919, at
Bridgewater, Mass, and sentenced
to Il years Imprisonment.
THE appeal to the governor was
presented by counsel for the accused
on May Sd of the present year. II
was my first official connection with
the cast.
This appeal, presented to me in
accordance with the provision in
the constitution Of our Common
wealth has been considered without
intent on my part to sustain the
courts if I become convinced that an
error has been committed or that
the trial had been unfair to the ac-
cused.
Il realized at the outset that there
were many sober-minded and con-
scientious men and women who We're
genuinely troubled about the guilt
or innocence of the accused and the
fairness of their trial. 1t seemed to
me | ought to attempt to set the
minds of such people at rest, If it
could be done, but I realized that
with all I could do personally to
find out the truth, some people
