BIZ United Press
BOSTON, April 2S.-Celestino Ma
deiros may save the lives of Bartho-
lemeo Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco, or
he may die with them in July, in the
second triple execution in this State

Governor Fuller last night re-
prieved Madeiros for a third time,
that his confession that he and not

for the murder for which the two
radicals are under death sentence,
might be Investigated.
Sacco and Vanzetti are under SEN
tence to be electrocuted during the
week of July 10 and Madeiros was
reprieved to the same time.
ConfessOr Sure to Die
AS a result of the Governors ac-
ton Madeiros is in a position where
his own confession may save Sacco
and Vanzetti, but if it does, he him
self will die for the crime on the
day set for their execution.
Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers were
jubiIant today at the news of the
Madeiros reprieve, in which they
saw a stronger possibility of an
eleventh-hour review Of the inter-
nationally famous case at the direc-
ton Of the Governor.

Madeiros was twice convicted Of
first-degree murder for killing
James A. Carpenter, elderly bank
cashier. during a hold-up at Wren
than, Nov. /, 1924. He was SEN
fenced to die during the week Of
Sept. 5, 1926. Subsequently Madeiros
was reprieved until Oct. 81, again
until Jan. q last, for a third time
until yesterday, and now until
July 10.
In each instance the New Fed.
ford mans life was temporarily
saved through his confession 20 the
crimes of which Sacco and Nan2otti
were convicted. This confession
stated that Madeiros and certain
members of the notorious Morelli
gang of Providence, r. l., and not
the radicals, were responsible for
the South Braintree murders.
