armed band shot down Frederick
Parmenter, the shoe company pay

from her home in New Haven. Conn,
that she hoped the governor would
free Sacco and Vanzetti.
II am one OF the two who suffered
most from tnS DTdlnLTcS HIuI ucIs SIc
declared Il lost my husband and
the father Of my two children, but /
would be sorry to have two innocent
men put to death. I have always
doubted that Sacco and Nanzetti were
guilty, and | hope that you will free
them and let them go home to their
families"
The message was made public by
the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee,
which through the seven-year fight
to free the two internationally known
radicals has expended hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in their behalf.
In the meantime the condemned
men carried on their hunger strike
at the State prison. which today en-
tered it's thirteenth day. Both men
were described by friends who visited
them as showing unmistakable signs
of their long fast. They were said
to be weak and listless.
The governor Is concluding his own
investigation of the case. A special
advisory committee is believed to have
concluded an independent inquiry.
