New York, March 20 P}-Trading in the early bond market today was largely restricted to few convert ible favorites, as increasing mons y rates appeared to have checked the buying brought into the market by the recent statement of Secretary Mellon advocating the purchase ponds. Call money renewed at 9 per cent and was expected to go high CT. Wall street would not be surpris- ed to see the rate touch 12 per cent in a day or two. Time money was scarce at s per cent.
 International Telephone convcrti- ble 4 1-os attracted buying in re- sponse to a further upturn in the stock, in expectation of the granting of valuable rights in addition to the proposed three -for-one split-up. Re ports that the company is planning to begin using radio shortly in com- petition for the country's telegra- phic communications business lent strength to its securities.

 But all his precautions were in vain. The armor plated door went down before terrific battering and Sacco died under a storm of bullets that led police to believe machine gun might have been used rather than pistols.
 Because of his name police at first thought the dead man was a Frank Sacco. who had served a term for perjury for his testimony about the killing of Albert Calebrese in 1925, but it was soon established that he was the one who recently completed a term.
 Although at first police were con- vinced that the double staying was the result of his killing of De Luc- ca, investigation of his prison rec ord soon suggested another possibil- ity.
 Last summer, it was learned, Sac co tipped the authorities at Sing Sing that other convicts were plan nIng break for liberty and through the information he gave. the prison break was frustrated.
 To protect him from reprisal it was kept d secret that SaCCo had in formed on the Convicts who had planned to escape, but he was Sus> rected by his fellows and when he Was released in September about four years earlier than he ordnar- lily would have been under the good conduct rule, he was d man marked for death as squealer.
 The Sacco apartment is on the first floor of the building and the attack was made while most of the tenants were at breakfast or leaving for their daily work.
 The sound of the crashing door and the ensuing fuslladc was heard throughout the building and tenants telephoned police that shooting was in progress. Before police ar rived Mrs. SacCo had been killed as she lay in bed and Sacco as he faced his assailants in last stand for life, and the gunmen had disappeared.

 Physicians at local hospital said it would be several days before they could complete the examination of the viscera of the body to determine what poison caus~d the girls death.
 The theory of suicide has been abandoned by the police. They de- clared the young woman could not have walked to the spot where her body was found and that no con- tainer for the poison that killed her was nearby.
