ABE FABER SEEKS
 REVIEW OF CASE
Making Lone Battle to Escape Death Chair
 With the Millens

Boston. Feb. 25 l- (UP) - Counsel for Abe Faber, college honor graduate and one of three convicted killer-bandits facing the electric chair, sought today to de- lay imposition of the death sen tence upon him.
 Faber and the Miilen brothers, Murton and Irving, are scheduled to be sentenced by Superior Judge Nelson P. Brown at Dedham to- morrow at 10 a. m. for the ma chine-gun staying of two policemen in a $15,000 Needham bank hold up February 2. 1884.
 T intend to file a pleaf or a review in the (state) supreme court" said William K. Scharton, Faber's. lawyer, "and this will force postponement of the sentencing of Faber., shall ask my plea that Faber's sentence be postponed un- til the latter part of March in or- der to give the supreme court an opportunity to pass upon my re- quest for a review of our eXcep- tions.
 q shall base my petition on the ground that the full court was apparently confused by the excep- uons of the Millens brothers so far as Faber's constitutional rights were concerned; that the court failed to consider the Faber ex- captions independently: that tes.i- mony was misquoted and that there was faulty interpretation ": the law so far as Faber was con- cerned."
 State officers asserted, however, that all three men would be sen tenced, as scheduled. They added that 50 state troopers would be assigned to Dedham courthouse to preserve order.
