JUDGE IS ACCUSED
IN VANZETT|PLEA
Six Affidavits From Promi.
nent Persons Make Open
Charges of Prejudice.
Hy the Associated Press.

BOSTON, May 5.-The fight for
freedom which Nicola Sacco and Bar
tolomeo Vanzetti have waged with
unremItting vigor since their convic.
tion for murder six years ago entered
today new phase. Gov. Fuller
had before him a personally written
plea for liberty, backed by six strik-
ing affidavits, which brought into the
open charges of prejudice by the trial
court never before published
The plea was Vanzetti's own. The
affidavits were from prominent per-
sons who made allegations of bias and
tmpropriety on the part of Judge
Webster Thayer, who after being up
held by the Supreme Court in his
refusal of a new trial, recently sem
fenced both prisoners to death.
Sacco's decision not to join in the
petition for clemency was attributed
by counsel and psychiatrist to a
conviction that to do so would be
against "his faith" as an anarchist.
Signers OF Affidavits.
Signers of the aff1davits were
George L. Crocker, Boston attorney
and former city treasurer; Robert
Benchley, dramatic editor of Life;
Elizabeth Bernkopf, reporter; Frank
2. Sibley, reporter; John Nicholas
Beffel, reporter, and Mrs. Lois B. RAN
toul of Jamaica Plain, socially promi-
nent, who represented the Greater
Boston Federation Of Churches at the
trial.
The statements were termed by the
defense counsel their best legal trump.
Benchley told Of Judge Thayer's re-
marks to Loring Goes land several
others at the Worcester Golf Club in
1921, the year of the trial.
The affidavit declared the Judge said
he would set them good and proper"
''would get those guys hanged" and
''would like TO hang few dozen Of
the radicals"
Says Judge Shook Fist.
Beffel swore that in a conversation
at the courthouse during the trial the
Judge flushed, shook his fist and
shouted: "You wait till I give nv
charge. I'll show 'em.''
Miss Bernkopf said the Judge had
told her that Fred Moore of Los An
geles, original counsel for the defense,
was a '1ong- haired anarchist from
California" who was going to be dis
tllusioned of his belief he could out
wit the courts of Massachusetts,.
Sibley deposed as to conversations
with Judge Thayer while the trial was
in progress, in which he and other re-
porters listened to the courts uncom-
plimentary remarks on the defense
counsel, who were pictured by the
turist as "those damned FOOLS"

Guides in Art Galleries Are Accus-
toned to Visitors.

CHICAGO, May 5 CP).-Many joke
has been sprung at the expense Of the
Venus de Milo, but that armless lady
and the headless statue Of the Winged
Victory were made the butts of a
wholly innocent quip at the Chicago
Art Institute.
A visitor commented to guide:
'These statues have been all broken
up since was here 10 years ago."
But the guides are accustomed to
unsophisticated visitors. A woman
lately gazed raptly at a newly-hung
Titan painting after inquiring for it,
and wondered at length: who painted
it?" Another glimpsed a statue of the
French philosopher Voltaire, and in
quired, who is that old. woman?"
Other guests inquire for the dog
show, the animals and the dummies.
The edifice is mistaken at least once
a week for the Union Station, the post
office or the city hall.

FORMER WAR PRISONER
 COOKED FOR KAISER
Frenchman Captured In Franco
 Prussian War Later Became X Intimate With Kaiser.

Paris. June IT R}-Hc cooked for the ex-kaiser after having been a prisoner of Wilhelm's grandfather and the ex-kaiser liked it. That is the record of G. A. Escoffier, dean of French chefs, still spry at ST.
 T have sent at least 200 cooks to American in 20 years" he recalls. Most of them trained outside of France, at the Savoy and Carlton in London or aboard the Hamburg American liners. But they .,ere all Frenchmen and trained in the French tradition of cookery-natur- ally the best in the world.
 Tt was aboard the liner Beren- garia, then the Imperator, that I first met the former emperor. They hesitated to hire me because l had been captured in the war of 1870 and had been treatedArwell. as pris- oners are apt to be. However, I soon treasured his majesty that had no intention of poisoning him.
 If I had been there. I'd have freed you the former kaiser told me jokingly. Majesty l replied. if you had been there, you wouldn't have recognized me- That seemed to give the emperor laugh.
 When I parted from the former kaiser in 1913, l wished him long life and good health." M. Escof- fer continues. T ventured to add that the greatest act of his life would be bringing about an under standing between France and Ger many. He replied, That would be my dream. but people don't under stand my motives.
 M Escoffier has visited the United States three times. He admires the American hotel chefs who are for the most part trained under Eur opean masters, but stoutly maintains that good cooking and good eating are impossible without wine.
