GANDH| SLOWLY
REGAIN|NG
STRENGTH
Famous Indian Poet Tagore
Chants Holy Verses in
Presence of Mahatma

POONA, Sept. 81 T.N.SD.
Impressive scenes were en-
acted here today when Mahat-
ma Gandhi, who broke his
seven-day "fast unto death "
yesterday after achieving the
GROWING triumph of his career,
a meager breakfast behind the
walls of the Yeravda jail.
Still weak and emaciated from
his ordeal, through which he
forced the British government to
grant Hindu "untouchables" joint
political representation, the Ma.
hatma took a small quantity of
orange juice in the present of
the famous Indian poet, 2abin-
dranath Tagore, and scores of
admirers.
Gandhi Serenaded
While Gandhi, lying on his cot
in a shaded portion of the Jail
yard, slowly slipped the liquid,
the crowd of friends sat about
him, squat-fashion, joyful because
their idol seemed sure to recover
from the effects of his abstinence.
Many of them carried the
quaint, traditional Indian musical
instruments, which they played
as Gandhi took nourishment into
his feeble frame. All within
earshot joined in song.
Then, the pitifully small meal
ended, the Mahatma was given in
jections and massaged to bring
back his strength. During this
operation, Tagore chanted holy
verses.
Gets Mud Plaster
One part of Gandhi's treatment
consisted of a mud plaster for his
head.
While the frail Mahatma re-
ceived the joyful ministrations of
the circle in the jail yard, Hindus
throughout India rejoiced at the
news their Holy Man" had
broken his fast and would proba-
bly, recover.
In the wave of enthusiasm that
gripped the nation, the Hindu
temples, closed for hundreds of
years, were thrown open to these
depressed peoples, for years re-
garded as the "gutter-snipes'' of
humanity.
At noon, Gandhi increased his
diet, taking grapefruit with sugar
and plenty of water.
Tomorrow, he said, he will add
barley water and small amount
of whey as his condition improves.
His Birthday
Doctors attending him reported
he was progressing we'll and that
no complications had set in.
According to the Hindu calen-
dar, today was Gandhi's birthday.
He celebrated it by receiving many
visitors, who brought him gifts of
flowers and fruit.

Famous Case Stirred
U. S. for Seven Years

Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti were first arrested on
May 5, 1920, in connection with
the murder on April IS, in South
Braintree, Mass, Of F. A. Parmen.
ter, paymaster of shoe factory,
and Alesandro Berardelli, the
guard accompanying him.
Saco and VanZetti were italians
who had migrated to the United
States in 1908. One was a shoe
worker, the other fish peddler.
They were brought to trial on
May 81, 1921, before Judge Web
Ster Thayer, of the Massachusetts
Superior Court. On July IA both
were found guilty by jury.
Appeals Were Denied
The verdict was disputed by
radicals on the ground that the
two men had not received a fair
trial because of their radical at.
filiations.
A motion for new trial on the
grounds that the two prisoners
had not been positively identified
by the witnesses failed.
Further motions for new trials
failed on the grounds that the
evidence did not warrant a re-
opening of the case.
On November Is, 1925, Celestino
Madeiros confessed he had par
ticipated in the fatal hold-up, and
said neither Sacco nor Vanzetti
was present.
Judge Thayer, after hearing
this, denied a retrial and claimed
MadeiroS, already sentenced to
death for another crime, was mo-
tivated by the hope that the case
would delay his execution.
Had Final Power
A motion of appeal to the Mas
Sachusetts State supreme court
failed. The court maintained the
trial judge had the final power
of permitting a retrial.
On April 8, 1927, Judge Thayer
sentenced Sacco and Vanzetti to
death in the electric chair.
The defense took the case to
Governor Fuller on May 4. Van.
Zetti himself made the appeal for
stay of sentence and inquiry into
the trial. The governor granted
the plea for inquiry.
Carried to President
Besides investigating person.
ally, the governor enlisted the
aid of President, Lowell, of Har.
ward University; President STRAIT.
ton, of the Massachusetts Insti.
tute Of Technology, and Robert
Grant, a former judge.
On August Governor Fuller
announced that he had found
against the plea and that his
advisory committee had reached
the same conclusion.
Finally. on August %, 1927,
Sacco and VanZetti were electro
cuted. They maintained to the
end they were innocent.
