Wait In Silence

State Prison, Charlestown. Mass.
Aug, 10 P,-Nicola Sacco and Bar
tolomeo Vanzetti waited in silence
today for news of the legal battle
that was being waged to save their
lives. Vanzetti was the more rest
less Of the two and he kept moving
about his cell. Sacco. who has in
dictated that he has given UP all
hope continued to lie on his cot
staring at the ceiling.
The only persons who talked with
the condemned today were Attorney
Michael A. Musmanno and Alfonso
Gagliolo, lawyer and notary public
Mrs. Rose Sacco did not visit the
prison today the first day in several
weeks she has not seen her husband
in the morning. Mrs. Sacco has re-
NAMED silent and has refused to
divulge her opinion OF the case.
Sacco Is Weak
Sacco appeared to be weaker to-
day. the twenty fourth day of his
hunger strike. However, he was
still able to stand and showed no
other Ill effects from his fasting.
Both men had number of books
in their cell, but they did very little
reading.
Meanwhile Celestno Madeiros.
convicted of another murder and
whose respite expires at midnight
tonight. ate heartily and appeared
to have resigned himself to his fate.
It is not thought likely that he will
be given another respite and he is
scheduled to be electrocuted shortly
after midnight. regardless Of what
action may be taken concerning Sac
CO and Nanzetti.
Several hundred people gathered
in the vicinity Of the prison today,
although they were prevented from
coming close TO the prison walls bv
police. Few visitors were allowed in
the prison. Guards continued to
hold their posts on the walls.
There was an air of uncertainty
about the prison early this after
noon as word was received of do
vslopments in the courts and at the
state house. Warden William Hon
dry declined to make any statements
as to the possibility of a respite. He
was prepared to go ahead with his
plans for the execution unless he
should receive official notification of
