FOUR JUSTICES
HEAR PLEA FOR
CONDEMNED MEN
Counsel for Sncco and Van
zetti I'rfM'iil Two Bill* of
Exception* and Aak for
Plenty of Time
SAY JUDGE TALKED
Ronton, AuR. 16.?(AP)?Four
Justice* of the Massachusetts
-S<tprem^Cmin. Hitting ag the full
bench,.today heard arguments on
the exceptions taken by counsel
for Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzettl to decisions made by
Judge Wester Thayer of the Su
perior Court and Justice G. A.
Sanderson, of the Supreme Court.
There were two bills of excep
tions. The firm wan to the denial
by Justice Sanderson of a writ of
error for which defense counsel
had petitioned on the ground that
the defendants' constitutional
rlKhts had been violated by the al
leged prejudice of Judge Thayer,
who presided at their trial for
I murder.
J The second bill excepted to
Judge Thayer's refusal to grant a
new trial, a revocation of sen
tence or a stay of sentence. Excep
tion also was taken to his refusal
to decline to hear the motions and
to request that unother Superior
Court Judge be assigned to hear
them.
Arthur D. Hill, chief defense
counsel, appeared to argue for the
exceptions. Attorney General Ar
thur K. Reading, represented the
State In opposing them.
The Suffolk County courthouse
In Pemherton Square where the
hearing was held, was closely
guarded. Police were stationed
about the building. The corridor
leading to the chamber was barred
by a row of benches and court of
ficers excluded every person who
could not show that he had a right
to be there.
Hill submitted a lengthy brief
signed by himself and by Ellas
Field and Richard B. Evarts, as
associate counsel.
Hill, argued that prejudice on
the part of Judge Thayer who pre
sided at the trial of Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, for mur
der, had been clearly shown and
was sufficient to warrant a writ
of error and a new trial. Attorney
General Arthur K. Reading took
the ground that no evidence of
prejudice sufficient to require Jus
tice Sanderson to Issue a writ of
error had been presented.
In connection with defense af
fidavits telling of alleged state
ments made by Judge Thayer
outside the courtroom, some of
which asserted that the Judge had1
used vile language with reference I
to Sacco and Vanzetti, Attorney
General Reading remarked In his
brief:
"Wo foel it our duty to point
out that the constitution of Massa
chusettee does not guarantee that
every Judge will at every time and
place within and without the court
room refrain from the use of pro
fanity and vile language."
F. Delano Putnam and R. Amrai
Cutter, assistant attorneys general
and Dudley p. Ranney, of Norfolk
County where this murder trial I
wan held, were present to assist
the attorney general.
Justice Sanderson did not sit In,
case. In the absence of Chief Jus
tice Arthur P. Rugg. who Is ill,[
Justice Henry K .Bradley, presid
ed. The other members of the
court sitting were Justices Ed
ward P. Pierce, James Bernard
Carroll and W. C. Walt.
Grdinarlly, an argument before
the Supreme Court is limited to
about an hour. At the outset Hill
said he would ask for more time
Justice Bradley assured him that
he might have all the time he
thought he needed.
The brief filed by defense coun
sel, upon which Hill elaborated in
his arguments, was devoted to the
question of Judge Thayer's al
leged prejudice and the power of
the courts to take action In favor
of the defendants.
"The following fundamental
quentions," the brief said, "are
before the court.
1.?Whether, In view of the
state of mind of Judge Tjhayer, as
disclosed by the facts upon the
record, the petitioners had such
a trial and such consideration at
subsequent proceedings as that to
which they were entitled under
the law and the examinations of
Massachusetts and of the United
8tates. i
"J.?Whether the question of
Judg* Thayer's own prejudice or
any other question In the case
could legally and constitutionally,

j Chicago, Auk. 16-?(AP)?J.
i Ogden Armour died today in Lon
1 don, a cablegram received hero by
Lester Armour said.
He was the eldest son of phlllp
D. Armour, Sr., founder of the
j great Armour & Company pack
! lng Industry, and sacrificed his
senior year in Yale University
because i>r his ramer'a desire iu
' give him an early training In the
; rudiments of the huge business
i enterprise that he was destined
1 eventually to direct.
I .After a year of apprenticeship,
during which he made a study of
every branch of the vast concern,
young Armour assumed the exec
utive responsibilities of th?- pack
ing house, and for more than 17
years applied himself dillgeutly
to the task of mastering every
phase of the packing business. He
assumed compute control upon
the death of his father in 1901.
Under the direction of J. Ogden
Armour, the volume of Armour &
Company's business grew from
$182,000,000 a year to more than
i $1,000,000,000 a year, and the ac
tivities of the Company were
| greatly expanded and developed.
Mr. Armour built additional plains
' in various parts of the country to
j encourage and develop the pro
! ductlon of live stock in the terri
tory surrounding these plants, and
| to eliminate unduly long hauls to
! the yards. It was under his guid
1 ance also that the South Ameri
can subsidiaries of the company
j were established.
These opened world markets to
' the livestock raisers of South Ani
| erica and broke the valuable mo
I nopoly held by British interests In
the cattle business of Argentina.
I Today there are five Armour
plants south of the Equator, 1ft in
'the United States, and one in Can
ada. There also are approximately
400 branch houses in the United
States to facilitate distribution.
Mr. Armour's administration of
the business, according to hJs
closest associates, was peculiar In
that It was one of development
ulmost exclusively.
J. Ogden Armour was born In
Milwaukee, November 11, 1863.
Twelve years later the Armour
family moved_lrom Milwaukee to
Chicago. After attending ho pub
lic schools there, Mr. Armour en
tered Yale in 1881, mid three
years later returned to Chicago
to embark upon his business ca
reer.
Mr. Armour married Miss Lolita
Sheldon, daughter of Martin J.
Sheldon of Suffleld, Connecticut,
In 1891. They have one daughter,
Mrs. John J. Mitchell, Jr., who
was Lolita Ogden Armour, born In
1896.
Mr. Armour had extensive busi
ness activities In addition to his
connection with Armour & Com
pany, He was a director of several
large railroads and financial in
stitutions. i

I busy In the past few days thu:
I there wasn't time for the pres.

j the program was beyond the ex
pectations of the theatre fans.
The first show opened promptly
.at the hour .set and very appro
priately with "Carolina Mine"-at
'the thousand throated orgun by
Miss Jetta MUholland of Char
lotte. The number was made more
attActive by the words appearing
on the screen as it was beInK
played and Ml** MUholland re
ceived quite an oration from th*
i crowd.
' This number -was followed by
the comedy "The Tired Business

.lection for the opening night in
that It appealed to both youug and
old folks.
If there was any disappoint

which have been booked including
"Ben Hur," "The Blood Hhip" and
"My Best Girl."
W. O. Saunders, editor of the

appear and Mr. Saunders spoke of
tho early plan* to build the
theatre, Htatlng that he was glad
to have had a part in |t. "I've

lauKhed. He closed his remarks by

Following the local program
Ted Klein's Hadlo Orchestra en
tertained the crowd with a varied
program of music, every number
of which was enthusiastically re

The real dangers that beset the!

and wind prompted the decision to I
turn back after the llremen had!
gone a little beyond the went coast
of In land. Edxard and Rlsttcx,'
who were forced to land their

fog-ridden nlKlit, how the winds!
toyed with the llremen. lifting It j
and pushing It down so that at,
times the plane barely missed the j
tops of trees.
"Twice the llremen got nut of

cause of the divergence of our]

The city market and a revision
in the traffic laws were Iho main
problems of an executive meeting
of the City Council Monday u'ter
noon and the regulur session Men
day night. Much Interest lias cen
terod around the market Issuo for
gome time, and since the market
has been a financial liability to
the city and a thorn In the side

ilatton has been indulged In an to
I Just what course would be

ordinance which stipulates that
any person who rents a stall In
the market building be given
,authority to operate one branch

city limits or within the city lim

A proposal was made to dis
pose of the 313 tons of gravel
owned by the city, but a number
of the Counellmen maintained that

was quickly dissipated when B.
