Saeco lifted a frail hand above his
blanket as he lay on his cot in states
prison today and waved away guards
who came to offer him breakfast.
Downstairs in warden William
Hendry's office various methods OF
forcible feeding were discussed. The
warden consulted with DR.. Joseph l.
Mclaughlin, the prison physician.
DR.. Mclaughlin found Vanzetti
sleeping this forenoon and did not
disturb him. Sacco was able to get
up from his cot to talk with the ply
stefan.
'T advised him to eat" said DR..
Mclaughlin, "but he said he never
would eat again until he was freed"
DR.. Mclaughlin admitted that for
chile feeding of the starving worker
would be done if it becomes neces-
sary. He said that Sacco was in a
very weak condition but would not be
forcibly fed today.
VIII Continue Hunger Strike.
Vanzetti was obliged to support
Sacco last evening when the pair
went to the barber shop for an inter-
view with Attorney M. A. Musmanno,
of Pittsburgh, defense lawyer. On
the walk from the death cells to the
Cherry Hill section of the prison,
Sacco walked beside Vanzetti but
stumbled when going up the steps at
the end Of the walk.
Sacco was on self-imposed fast
for thirty-one days in Dedham jail.
The present hunger strike was begun
in protest against the secret method
used by Governor Alvan T. Fuller in
the review of the cele-
brated case.
Meanwhile, defense lawyers Across
the city were engaged in an intensive
study of law books in preparation for
the drive for new Sacco and Van
zetti trial before the full bench of the

and of the number of times they had
visited New York recently. They
were told that they were under sus-
picion in connection with the subway
bomb blasts in New York. But in the
next breath the detectives, Joined by
detective Kelly, from New York City,
were putting questions as to their
connections with the left wing.
"The capmakers' Union is affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor" Seligman told detective Kelly.
Can't Fool Kelly.
"You can't fool me-" replied Kelly.
IT know all about the left wing and
the right wing"
They were also questioned by
superintendent of Police Crowley who
insisted that they were the leaders of
the general strike. They also got the
credit for engineering the picketting
at the State House.
"Never mind, | know" was Crow
ley's reply to the statement of Selig-
man that the Capmakers' Union was
small organization, and that il
would be impossible for this union
alone to develop city-wide strike
movement.
After being questioned they were
returned to foul-smelling and ill-kept
cells in the La Grande Street Police
Station. Here they were pestered
again by detectives who suggested
that it would not go hard with then
if they would tell all the truth.
Better come out with the truth,
was the suggestion made to then
continually.
