Attorney General Readings state
ment was:
This afternoon Mr.. Arthur D. Hill,
Elias Field waited upon Mr.. Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes of the supreme
court of the United States at Beverly
and presented to the justice a petition
for writ OF habeaS corpus in behalf
OF Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti. They argued the petition at
length.
'"This was an ex-parte hearing and
the commonwealth of Massachusetts
was not represented by counsel. Mr..
Justice Holmes after hearing Mr. Hill
and Mr. THOMPSON decided that as he
understood the petition and affidavits
they contained no fact which would
warrant his issuing the writ, and ruled
that even if Judge Thayer had been
strongly prejudiced against Sacco and
Vanzetti, that fact would not deprive
Judge Thayer of jurisdiction and legal
power to decide the case, because in
Mr.. Justice Holmes opinion nothing
short of want Of legal power to de-
eide the case would authorize him (Mlr.
Justice Holmes) to interfere in sum-
mary manner with proceedings OF the
state court.
"The attorney general stated that
it should not be understood that Mr.
Justice Holmes found or was even
ready to find that Judge Thayer had
been prejudiced, but simply ruled that
even if it should be found that Judge
Thayer was prejudiced there would be
no occasion for Mr.. Justice Holmes to
interfere

that he would render his decision OF

take the exceptions before the full
bench of the court tomorrow.
The executive council of the gov
ernor, which had been at the state
/ house since noon with only brief in

body soon after the decision was Of
ficialIy announced at the governors s

None would discuss the case officially
/ but it was intimated that one reason

the recommendation of the governor
was the strong opposition felt by sew
eral to the granting of a respite, they

Rushmore memorial conceived by
DOane Robinson, former state his.
torian and sponsored by Sen Norbeck
and sponsored by Senator Norbeck
of this state, will be the largest
memorial in the world. Out of solid
granite mountain, nearly 300 feet
high will be carved the heads and

was commenced today on the head
Of Washington and the rest will fol-
low as soon as funds are available.
The structure will cost nearly a
half million, of which about third
has been subscribed.
AS explained by Mr. Coolidge in
his dedicatory address, Washington
was chosen because his life is asSo-
ciated with the very beginning OF
American ideals; Jefferson because he
embodied the spirit of expansion
which drove the young republic close
to the Pacific; Lincoln because he
demonstrated the permanency OF the
new Union; and Roosevelt because
during his administration the vision
Of Columbus for a, new passage to
the orient was fulfilled in the build
ing of the Panama canal.
Other people have marvelled at
the growth and strength of America,
the president declaerd "They have
wondered how few discordant COL
onies were able to win their indie
pendence from one of( the greatest
governments of the world. They have
been amazed at our genius for self
government. They have been unable
to comprehend how the shock OF a
great civil war did not destroy our
union. They do not understand the
economic progress of our people.
"It is true that we have had the
advantage of great natural resources
but these have not been exclusively
ours. Others have been equally for
tunate in that direction.
s..The progress of America has been
due to the spirit of its people. 1t is
