be filed until the records are pre-
scented.
Finding that there is no justice of
the Supreme Court in Washington,
Mr.. Musmanno asserted that his as
sociate. Arthur d. Hill, in Massa-
chusetts, would see Justice Holmes
today for the purpose of asking him
to stay execution Of the two men
until the Supreme Court can pass
upon the two petitions for review
when it meets in October. Justice
Holmes is in Beverly, Mass.
The filing Of the two petitions is en-
tirely dependent upon the presenta-
ton of records in proper form.
Should the records be found defective
in any particular under the rules of
the United States Supreme Court the
two cases cannot be docketed.
Precedent i'm Recent Case.
In asking a review by the Supreme
Court, counsel for Sacco and Van
Zetti have the benefit Of a recent &C.
ton by Justice Holmes in another
capital crime case as a precedent in
asking q stay of execution.
On July Is, after Justice Brandeis
cases of Nathan Bard and Bunyan
Fleming. two negroes sentenced to
death in Kentucky for criminal as.
sault, counsel for the condemned men
obtained from Justice Holmes a stay
of execution until the Supreme Court
could pass upon a petition for review,
which the justice was assured would
be filed. Up to date no such petition
has been filed, although a stay of ex.
ecution was granted.
In the Kentucky cases, as in that of
Sacco and VanZetti, 1t was contended
that the convicted men had not re-
ceived fair trial as guaranteed by
the fourteenth amendment. in that the
populace was excited and prejudiced
and that the judgment of the jury
was affected by local sentiment.
Justice Holmes in acting in the
Kentucky case stated that he granted
stay Of execution because human
lives are involved and if 1 am wrong
Tin his conclusion that technically no
issues were presented justifying a re-
view of the Supreme Court they
would be sacrificed by my mistake"
Judge Accused of Bias.
In the petitions asking a review of
the final action of the Supreme Court
OF Massachusetts the two condemned
men asserted that the Judgment
against them was entered in violation
of the due process of law under the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition, in that the proceeding which
resulted in their conviction and the
refusal of new trial were in the
hands of Judge Thayer. who was
prejudiced against them and their
counsel.
In the petition for review of the
action taken by the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts substantially the same
grounds were covered. the petition in
addition asserting that the refusal of
the State Supreme Court to issue a
writ of error denied the right of APP
peal from the findings and rulings of
judge 80 biased and prejudiced
against your petitioners that he was
incapable of acting as a judge in the
true sense"
