FORCED into Dedtn Oarb'
Eve expected it." said Sacco when
he learned that the full bench of the
Supreme Court had sanctioned his
legalized murder. "They do not think
of our guilt or innocence" he said.
"They look upon US only as bad men,
as radicals"
Sacco and Vanzetti marched to the
death house shortly after noon. Upon
their arrival they were placed in the
cells in which Governor Fuller kept
them until few moments before the
time set for their execution August
10th.
In the death house the framed
workers were forced to discard their
prison garb and wear special blue
suits. Special shirts with short
sleeves, provided for the fastening of
the bands of the electric chair were
also given them.
The exquisite torture of Sacco and
Vanzetti will be prolonged until a
little after Monday midnight when
they will burn in the electric chair,
unless they are saved by a mighty
demonstrations and strikes on the
part of labor thruout the world.
Hill Fights For Stay.
Attorney Hills first move was a
trip to Fitchburg to interview Chief
Justice Walter Perley Hall of the
state superior court. The superior
court was said to have the power to
stay pending legal moves in the fe?-
eral courts, as has single justice Of
the United States supreme court. This
would remove the question OF another
respite from the hands of Governor
Alvan T. Fuller and his executive
council.
With the present respite ending at
midnight, August %, the next move
OF the defense legal forces will prob
ably be a rush to the United States
supreme court for writ of certiorari
looking for a stay Of sentence and q
review by the highest federal tribun-

Arthur D. Hill, and hid itself behinc

All actions hinged around the pref

Red International
Appeals to Save
SaCCO and vanzetti

MOSCOW, Aug. 19.-The Execu-
tive Bureau of the International Of
Red Labor Unions has published ar
appeal inviting the workers of all
countries to develop the fight for the
salvation of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The appeal in part says: "At mo-
ment when Macdonald hopes to god,
when the Greens hypocritically plead
and the Amsterdam leaders humble
themselves in the ante-rooms of
American embassies, the peaceful
demonstrations Of workers have al
ready compelled the most opulent
and most powerful government to
retreat and look for loopholes to ex-
ecute its most Infamous Justice The
bourgeoisie understands perfectly
we'll the force of the international
solidarity of the workers and trem-
bles before the danger of the trans
formation of the peaceful protests in
to strikes and boycotts, sabotage and
embargo on American products"
Wants to Fool Workers.
The appeal charges the would-be
assassins of trying to deceive the
workers and continues: "The Amer
lean government wants to lull to
sleep our vigilance and seize ia
vorable moment to execute the mar
tyrs of the bourgeois class justice. ,
Don't weaken your energy, but
develop the fight"
"Sacco and Vanzetti must be TORI
out of the hands of the democrats
bandits!"

Mr.. Samossoud announced last
night that the chorus of the produc-
ton and smaller roles in it would be

ton who are associated with the
Estelle Wentworth Studios, which
for some time have been developing
operate material here.
The earlier plan of Mr.. Samoussoud
10 open his independent activities with
q concert by a symphony orchestra
early this month was postponed for
several reasons. According to An
tfony Cello, vice president of the Mu-
sicians' Union, Mr.. Semoussoud has a
prior right to the men that make up
the local symphony and opera or
chestra for rehearsals. but, due to
the conflict between rehearsals for the
concert of Russian music as planned
and rehearsals for the opera. La
Boheme,' to be sung by the Wash
ington Opera Co. January 10, Mr..
Samoussoud withdrew his prior rights
and will rehearse his orchestra and
give his symphony concert program
shortly after the production of But
terf1y" instead of early in the month,
as previously announced. Mr.. Cello
also denied rumors that there had
been any discussion of the orchestra
men giving a number of free re-
hearsal for the concert.
Last night Mr. Samoussoud said,
when discussing the practical aspects
of his plan for the production of Puc-
cini's popular opera. that all costumes
and scenery win be loaned the local
