Friday night, Ov er tho remains of a dead soldier that was a veteran of none of the wars In which the UnKed States has engaged. It was such a wall ing and gnashing of teeth an might have accompanied by the passing of a National figure. Deputy Sheriff M. S. Burgess, of Camden, had noted a colored resident of the village dodging about queerlf In the shadows, and had searched him with teeming cssualness but great completeness without discovering evidence of violation of the liquor law. Offi cer Burgess then had gone to the spot whence ths colored man had come, aad had found a pint bottle, nearly fall uf liquor. There was no adequate grounds upon which to hold the negro, and so Mr. Burgess disposed of the sit uation by turning the contraband over to Depaty Marshal Peter r>. Hurgess, who happened to be on hand. The Federal officer strolled out into the square, bent upon pouring out the whisky. i Almost Instantly, a crowd gath ered.

JUDGE DENIES PLEA FOR STAY OF EXECUTION Sacco and Vanzrlli Unsuc cessful Before Justice Sanderson of Massachu setts Supreme (lourt APPEAL TOTOOUDCE Telpgrain to Hapid City Urges Chief Executive to Intercede and Halt Execu tion of Prisoners Boston, Auk 8?(AP)?Justice Sanderson, of tho state supreme court today denied petitions by counsel for Sacco and VanzeUI, for a writ of habeas corpus and a stay of execution. He also denied a petition for a writ of error. Court hearlnics on motions brought by counsel for Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzettl in an effort to obtain a new trial for the men sentenced to die this week for murder divided attention today with the outcome or an ap peal to Governor Alvan T. Fuller, to stay their execution. Judge Sanderson of the stats suporlor court set 10 a. m., as the hour to hear a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and a stay of ex ecution. Two o'clock this afternoon was set as the tlmo for a hearing at the Norfolk County courthouse In Bedham before Judge Webster Thayer of the superior court on a motion for a new trial and a atay of execution. lit was In the same courthouse that Judgo Thayer pre sided over the trial of the two men and sentenced thom to death after the supremo court had up held his previous refusal to grant them a new trial. When the governor would an nounce hla decision on tho plea for a stay of execution directed to him was uncertain. Tho only word which had come from him at his summer home at Rye Beach, "New Hampshire, was a telephone- call to his Secretary Herman A. Mac Donald, to tho effoct that he would not act on the petition before to A desporato appeal direct to President in behalf of Sacco and VansetU also has been made. The telegram to tho 1 resident at Rapid City, urged him to inter cede with Governor Alvan T. Ful ler, to bak the execution while the President might conduct an Inquiry Into the case. The defense committee's tele gram called upon President Cool Idge "to consider this momentous situation most carefully." Refer ring to the files of the Department of Justice which the committee has contended would reveal col lusion between the prosecution and the Federal Government, the committee declared these would explain the "consclousneas of girilt," exhibited at the tlma of the prlsonsrs' arrest was caused 'j by fear of deportation for radical affiliation. Despite further developments, attention today remained largely I riveted on the sweeping opinion of Governor Fuller's advisory com mittee which, summing up an in vestigation Into the case which closely paralleled that of the chief executive was In full accord with the governor's own decision not to grant clemency to the two men. The opinion?running 6,600 words ? held that the men had had a fair trial, that although Judge Thayer had been guilty of "a grave breach of official deco rum," he had not been prejudiced during the trial, and that none of the new evldenco offered by the defense was of sufficient weight to warrant a new trial or to rouse ressonable doubt of the fwlrness of conviction. Two meetings yesterdsy on the Boston Common were dispersed by the police sftor speakers had sought to address largo crowds In behalf of the condemned men and to call for a "national march on Boston." Another development of the day wan police announcement that an apparent attempt had been mads to enter the homo of Cambridge of Justice George A.
