Hill then opened his legal guns
against the prejudice of Judge Thay-
err Reading rose to object to that line
of argument.
Hill turned like flash and shouted
"Mr. Reading, I've been tolerant of
your interruptions. l submit | have
the right and terrible responsibility

Reading said Hill was not confirming
himself to the statute involved.
Hill reported that with consent of
court, propose to argue in this man
ner." He then resumed his argument.
Thayer Still Bloodthirsty.
Judge Thayer returned to his orig
inal question as to the legality of the
motion that was presented after SEN
tence had been imposed. Hill, his jaw
set, both hands extended in front of
him, resting on the desk of the clerk
of court, snapped.
as it possible that there is no legal
power to grant reprieve, when a man
is in the death chair, even if newly
discovered evidence shows him to be
innocent?" Hill snapped, Surely a
man is not as good as dead the mo-
ment sentence has been passed on
him"

A court officer tip-toed across the
courtroom, carrying a glass of water
for Mrs Sacco.
The hearing was opened with all
courtroom doors locked and with
armed guards at the entrance. No
person was permitted to pass the
guards.
Defense counsel came from Boston
where Judge George A. Sanderhon of
supreme court had denied stay of
execution, writ of error and a writ
of habeas corpus.
Several clashes occurred in the first
few minutes of argument between At

WUHAN REACTION
AREORGhNIzING"
PARTY BY FORCE
Fear Influence Of Com
munists Upon Masses

HANKOW, Aug. 8.-The counter
revolutionists who have with the sup
port of the military adventures and
servants Of imperialism seized con-
troll of the Wuhan government are
using that power to stifIe opposition
within the Kuomintang in prepara-
ton for the plenum of the Central
Committee scheduled for August Is.
''Reorganize' Sections.
All sections of the Kuomintang in
Hueph province have been "reorgan-
lied" by the -reactionaries supported
by the military. Persons notorious
for their anti-Communist views have
been appointed to all posts. The WI
han government is also recognizing
in the most hurried manner the diff
ferent sections of the labor and pea
SAINT unions in preparation for the
plenum, in an effort to exclude Com
munists from attendance because they
fear the influence of the Communists
upon the masses who strongly resent
the turn of affairs that, due to the
treachery of the Wuhan clique, has
placed the KuOmintang at the mercy
of the military machines. AS far as
the rank and file are concerned they
support the Communist who advocate
driving the enemies of the revolution
out of the Kuomintang, but their I'M
armed condition precludes their i'm
mediate action.
Fear Peasant Uprisings.
The military machines are draining
the whole country and the burdens
falling heavily upon the workers and
peasants only adds to their fury. It
is only question of time when the
peasant revolution will be unleashed
sweeping before it the military ad-
venturers.
A condition is approaching when
the generals will no longer be able
to feed their armies, then will ensue
mutinies that will again place the
movement under the leadership of
the Communists who are the recog-
nized leaders of the revolution.

SaccO's Father Urges
Sons Innocence as Day
OF the Execution Nears

TORRE, MAGGIORE, Italy,
Aug. 8.-"My son is innocent" de-
clared the father of Nicola Sacco
and, he adds, "they will certainly
not put my son to death"
Sabine Sacco, brother of the pris-
oner, told how Sacco was arrested
just before he was to have returned
home to Italy.
"The whole trial was a frame
up" Sabine said, at was in retalia-
ton for the strike of iron workers
which Vanzetti and my brother led
and which the police were unable
to break up for six months"

counsel.
Judge Thayer cut off HilPs address
and told him that arguments would
be based on statute sos, General
Laws of 1922, which says that a JUS
tice of the superior court shall have
no jurisdiction on motions for new
trial after sentence is imposed.
Mrs. Sacco occupied a chair on one
side of the courtroom and wept
throughout the proceedings. State
detectives occupied vantage points on
all sides.
Sanderson Also Hardboiled.
Judge George A. Sanderson in
state supreme judicial court earlier
in the day refused to grant a stay
of sentence, refused to issue writ
of habeas corpus and refused a writ
of error.
Attorney Hill had based his pleas
on the prejudice of trial Judge Web
ster Thayer and following the SUI
preme court ruling motions for re-
vocation of sentence and a new trial
were before Judge Thayer at Dedham
for the eighth time.
