tence to dentil in the eleetrie ehnir
during the week of .Inly U> was im- i
posed upon Nicola Sacco and KaHolo- i
meo VaHzetti. whose fight for n new
trial alter their conviction for murder '
in first degree in 1021 has aroused in- ,
terest in many countries. Judge '■
Webster Thayer of the superior court, ’
who presided at their trial, pronounc
ed the sentence.
The nncient stone court house was
carefully guarded today ns the hour
approached for imposition of the death
sentence.
The men were found guilty of the
murder of a paymaster and his guard
V 1 a pay roll robbery at South lira in
tree in 1020.
Police stationed on the court house
steps prevented the entrance, of anyone
who could not prove thill he had 'busi
ness there. The two men were
brought in a motor bus, its windows
covered with iron bars. They were
shackled together and to a guard on
either side.
As they alighted they were sur
rounded by a squad of police in uni-'
form, carrying riot guns.
•lifter district attorney Wilbur had
- moved that the sentence of death be
pronounced and suggested the week
beginning Sunday, July 10 for its
execution, Judge Thayer turned to
Sacco with the formula :
“Have you anything to say why
sentence of dentil should not be pro
nounced on yon?'
“Ves," said Sacco, as he stepped ;
forward in the dock.
Then in English sometimes broken
with a decided accent and sometimes
faulty grammar he made his final plen.
“1 "f*ver knew, i never heard, I
iiever-'-yead even in history of the
After seven years of prosecution they
still consider us guilty.
"1 know then* are two classes—the
oppressed and the -rich. It is always
between those two. We fraternize the
lieople wjth books and literature.
You prosecute the people, terrorize
and kill. We try to educate them.
That's why I am here today—for hav
ing been in the oppressed class, while
you are the oppressor and you know
it. Judge Thayer, yop know it. You
know why I am here.
"Now. nfter seven year of prosecu
tiou of me and my wife, you are
going to sentence me to death.
“I've never been guilty, never. Not
f yesterday, not today, not forever.”
» Sacco had addressed practically all
of "his remarks directly tj> Judge
’l hnyer. He lind turned however for .
a moment toward his friends seated I
in the court room and said “ thank (
you nil, my jieople. my comrades, who i
have been with me these seven years." |
Y'anzetti addressed the court at I
some leugth and uccused Judge Thay
er of always having been prejudiced
against him. He spoke in somewhat I
better English than Sacco, 'but oe-1
ensionnlly broke into Itnlinn. He had !
a pile of notes, but for most part j
disregarded them.
“In all my. life,” he said, “I have J
never stolen and never killed. I have i
struggled all my life to eliminate the !
crime on earth. Everyone that knows.
these two hands knows I have never j
had to go out and steal and kill to
get money. 1 can earn my living with
these two hands. I have been able
to live a higher life than by crime.”

Mississippi Rising Now.
Columbus, Ky., April o.—UP)—Flar
ing torches beneath a sullen gray
sky early today illuminated the lap
ping waters of the Mississippi River,
slowly seaping over a broken ICvee
here. Every able-bodied man avail
able toiled to the point of exhaustion
to hold back the flood which had
reached a level with the top of the
levee’s lowest (mint.
A part of the dyke broke away last
night, sloughing into the turbid river
directly in front of the town so that
eaeh wave lapping against the bul
wark drove a slow trickle across its
barrier. Should a moderate wind
spring up before hundreds of saml
filled sacks are thrown into place, it
is feared thnt the water will crash
through to submerge the town to a
depth of six feet.
Early reports from other levee
towns along the twisting length of
the Mississippi indicated no immedi
ate danger from the tremendous weight
of rising waters. Families, however,
were steadily moving their possessions
to higher grounds, while engineers
supervised the position of thousands of
emergency sand bags to strengthen
the threatened weaknesses.

Auto Locks Protect Forgetful Drivers,
Ohicngo, April o.—Locks to safe
guard automobile drivers against their
own carelessness are being tested in
the Underwriters’ laboratories here.
The forgetfulness of drivers of in
sured cars, who park their cars un
locked and walk away with the feeling
that the insurance company “can do
the worrying,” has induced the Na
tional Automobile Underwriters' Cons
ferenee to withdraw recognition of
locking devices in the writing of in
surance. To meet the situation a new
lock is being developed. '
The new lock is so designed Hint
wheu the driver switches -off the igni
tion to stop his engine be automatical
ly locks the ear. Few drivers, insur
ance companies find, are in the habit
of forgetting that an engine needs
gasoline to keep running. The break
ing of the ignition circuit is almost
a sub-conscious operation witli the
average driver.
The laboratories have recognized a
number of locks so made that Hie .
mechanism which breaks the circuit
also locks the ear, but this lock is the
first that performs both operations
at the same time.

New York. April 0. —Os)—The dis
pute over Rogers Hornsby's ownership
of St. Louis baseball stock was set
tled today by a compromise agree
ment calling for a price understood to
be. about SIOO a share, or approxi
mately $116,700 for the Giant star's
holdings.
Settlement was reached at a con
ference attended by President Heyd
ler of the National League, President
Stoneham and Manager MeGraw, of
the Giants, together with Hornsby and
the latter’s attorney. It followed a
deadlock in the special National 1
League meeting held yesterday at
Pittsburgh.
The agreement averts prospects of
any court action by the Giants to
keep Hornsby in the lineup, and as
sures the presenee of the former Cardi
nal star in the opening game on next
Tuesday at Philadelphia.
I.ater both He.vdler and Hornsby
confirmed the understanding that the
price agreed on was SIOO a share. This
represented a compromise between
Hornsby’s original demand for $lO5
and the offer of approximately SB7 a j
share, or SIOO,OOO altogether, made
yesterday at the Pittsburgh meeting.
The amount to be paid Hornsby
will be made up jointly by the New
York and St. Louis Clubs, ns well as
the National League, but the percent- i
age each will contribute was not dis
'closed. Breadon’s original offer was
S6O a share, but he was persuaded to
raise this to bring about the compro
mise agreement.

145 Autos Stolen in State in March.
Tribune Bureau
Sir YValter Hotel.
Raleigh, April 9. —One hundred
and forty-five automobiles were stolen
in the state in March, and 100 stolen
cars were recovered, 79 of the num
ber being those stolen in March, ac
cording to L. S. Harris, director of
the motor theft bureau of the depart
ment of revenue.
YVbile the number of thefts has de
creased some in the last few months,
the number of cars stolen is still
much too large, according to Harris.
As a result of intensive work by the
bureau in western North Carolina, in
the. vicinity of Hendersonville and
Asheville, there has been a decided
decrease in the number of automobile
thefts in that area.
However, as long as Tennessee,
Georgia and South Carolina continue
to have such lax registration laws,
more thefts will continue in those
sections of North Carolina nearest
these other states, said r. Harris.
