stated, did not answer fatty that

Hill next launched into an at
tack on the alleged prejudice of
Judge Thayef. He discussed briefly
fudge Thayef's alleged prejudice
against Attorney Fred Moore, of
California, who vas counsel to
Sacco and Vatlzetti IN the early
days Of the trial.
Reads Affidavit
Swinging into his attack on Judge
Thayer's alleged prejudice, Hill re-
lated extracts from an affidVait by
Frank p. Eibley, newspaper man
who covered" the trial,
Reading from the affidavit, Fiji
uti0ted Eibley as saying that Judge
ThAysr referred to counsel for the
defense as ''those damn fools" This
and similar remarks were made,
according to Sibley, during q lunch
con conversation in the Dedhafn
Inn.
I'M then took UP various other
Affidavits concerning alleged state
ments BY Judge Thayer.
Alleged statements by Judge
Tliayer that vanzetti and Ea6Co
were ''Reds,'' draft dodgers" that
mo Bolshevik could irtindidate
Thayer,'' that ''those birds would
hang"-all contained IN the new
Affidavits filed since the trial.
were discussed BY Attorney Hill.
Ali these alleged statements BY the
trial Judge were made outside the
court room.
ThayeE's AttitudO
Attorney Hill next took up the
testimony Of former Chief Defense
Counsel William @. Thompson, that
Judge Thayer displayed "an attia
tude Of contempt" to Attorney
Moore and others OF the defense
during the drawing OF the jury.
A statement by Prof. James p.
Richardson. OF Dartmouth College,
concerning 4 conversation with
Judge Thayer was then read by
Attorney Hill. In his conversation
with Prot. Richardson. Judge
Thayer was alleged to have ,Ap-
piled vile names to the dafendanta

tude of. Attorney General Reading.

Attorney EFil opened his atgu-
ments after the recess by saying that
there were four Substantial CUES
tons now before the court.
Whether, In view OF the state Of
mind Of Judge Thayer, the petition
ers had such trial before the jury
as they were entitled to.

It's a painful and shocking thing
TO have to argue such accusations
against Judge Thayer in this court.
There is no prejudice more in
sidious or more dangerous than that
OF one who il unconscious Of 1t.
You can never persuade any fair
minded person to believe that q

Hill declared.

glass in the windows was shat
tered. This was followed by the
roof opening up and could see the
sky through the hole. / thought
sure there had been an earthquake.

to one of the boys and Flossie stag

They were high up in the hills,
gaunt peaks rearing ia every direc-

with weird beauty.
But they cared nothing for this.

a Disguised voice.
''Oh, angriIy; s'pose you've

Certainly I have. I'm no angel.
But not with a girl like you.

She jerked away and went out

Yet as the noise grew louder in
the camp house and Flossie's
voice rose in shrek after shrek,
she became a little frightened.
This wasn't exactly the sort Of
fun she had looked for when they
planned the ride. She wondered
all at once what would happen il
Emily should go into her room, as
she sometimes did, and find her
gone.

Ted made vague excuses about
not being able to use the car
and Kitten concluded that, as
guest in the Norris home, he had
to suit his time to the convenience
Of the family.

Kitten would climb to the front

girls would crowd in with the
boys behind, all of them sitting
very close.
Then they would go into the
country and stop perhaps at
some roadhouse.
Kittens joy in this was marred
by Ted's attitude. Not only did
he refuse to buy her the occa-
sional cocktail which made the
other girls so merry. but once
when she lighted cigarette he
snatched It out OF her hand and
