would get those two anarchist
bastards," and "Wait till l give my
charge to the jury; I'll show 'em."
Fuller sat with the advisory COM
mission and announced their deci-
sion with his, August 3. He said
the trial was fair, the men were
guilty. The Lowell commission re-
port when made public, showed they
simply disregarded all evidence of
prejudice by the court and innocence
of the defendants.
Demonstrations.
Labor answered this announce
ment of Fuller's and Lowell's with
week of unsurpassed protest. A
mass meeting of $4,000 in Union
Square, New York, mass meetings
and demonstrations in every capital
in the world, general strike in many
cities; 10000 workers of Paris fol-
lowing Vanzetti's sister to the
American embassy, official protests
by the Argentine and Uruguayan
national legislatures.
This was not enough at the time.
1t was about seven years too late.
Or, if not too late, then it should
have been even more determined.
We will have to do still better, to
save the Gastonia victims if there is
a verdict of guilty in the present
trial.
Fuller and his capitalist advisors
gagged the pressure, and decided
they could risk the electrocution. On
August 10, SO minutes before the
switch was to be thrown on the
death chair, Fuller reprieved both
men, until August %. This was the
old tactic, used many times in the
case, to mollify Labor, to fool the
liberals, and wear out the demon
strators.
The new will-o'- the-wisp found by
the liberal optimists was appeal to
the U. S. supreme court judges for
writs of "certiorari" (order to re-
view the case). First an argument
by defense attorneys was made to
four justices of the Massachusetts
supreme court on Aug. Is. On Aug.
IS, they rejected a motion for re-
view of the past decisions.
Every available u. S. supreme
court justice was approached, the
last two being the reputed liberals,
Stone and Brandeis. All refused to
intervene.
The international protest move
ment gained force. Strikes in South
America, new demonstrations pick
citing in front Of the state house, al
most continuous mass meeting in
Union Square and Boston Common.
Not enough at this time-sufficient,
if it had come earlier.
A New Case.
The repressive forces of capitalism
struck back; men and women were
dubbed, jailed, we have today before
us a new murder frame-up, that of
Salvatore Accorsi, arrested and now
before the New York courts fight
ing extradition because a Pennsyl-
vani cossack was killed while he

shots protest meeting of thousands
Of miners at Cheswick, Pa. Others
Of these miners are in Jail for "riot-

The Massachusetts, militia were
called out, artillery was posted,
searchlights swept the barriers
around the Charlestown prison, when
Sacco ard Vanzetti were electrocut-
ed, just after midnight, Aug. %,

Labor has many martyrs in Amer
lea, from the days of the Molly Ma

form of hurricane and storm

the characters.

come, in the conventional sense,

course, a contrasting character,
who tries to hold on to ideals Of
another day.
The grand climax comes when
the hurricane sweeps every
thing before it.

transaction was "a graft fund"
''If there is anyone who can tell
me of any graft Captain Burlingame
is connected with will be tickled ito

said.

that might leave loopholes through
which Burlingame could escape If
guilty.
After the formal charges have
been drawn up, copies will be placed

M. winfield Posey, 210O block
Eighteenth st. N. W., whose wife
Gladys Ernestine Posey, 1900 block
Sixteenth st. NJ W.. recently sued
him for limited divorce and alirnony
on grounds of extreme cruelty, tells
a story in Equity Court which puts
a different light on his wife's accu.
sations.
Mrs. Posey had claimed that her
husband had failed to provide ade-
quately for her and had struck her
in the face when she left and went
to the home Of a friend.
Posey declared that his wife, who
is said to be a trained nurse earning
81 a day and therefore cannot be
destitute for food and shelter, is ad-
dicted to. the use OF intoxicants and
charges she has frequently returned
home at midnight In an intoxicated
condition.
He says the only time he ever
struck her was when she had i'm.
portuned him for q reconciliation
and, while he was talking over the
terms of an arInistice with her, a
naval officer knocked at the door Of
the apartment and his wife went out
side to talk to him. Posey declares
that he, told the caller that his wife
was q married woman and he must
leave her alone. During the quar-
rel with his wife which followed
Posey admits that he slapped his
wife's face.
