Commission Alters Item Many Killed In Explosion ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) Thirty persons were believed killed and 100 seriously Injured in a thunderous explosion this morn ing that shattered two crowded four-story office buildings in old central Istanbul. Three of the dead were passen gers in' a bus which was passing and was crushed by the debris. Another four died in a coffee ihop across the narrow street from the blast. Among the tenants in the build tags were the newspapers Istan bul Eksnres and Yeni Gazcte. One of the building owners said the explosion appeared to come from a warehouse in the rear in which chemicals and other inflam mable goods were stored. One of the two buildings was completely crumbled. The other, housing the newspapers, looked as its back end had been sliced away. The explosion occurred at the height of midmorning traffic. Police cordoned off the area and diverted all traffic. Ninety min utes later victims still were being dug from the debris. Windows were snaiterea ano the streets covered with glass for several blocks in all directions Eugene Men Aid Canine EUGENE (AP) In Alpine lands, St. Bernard dogs trudge through snow with kegs around their necks, carrying life-giving nourishment to stranded men. Man returned the favor Monday. Two Eugene men loaded a ton of dog food and drove 50 miles through the snow to 30 M. Ber nards. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Knight, who raise St. Bernards at a kennel some 20 miles off the highway from Drain, with only a day s food supply for the dogs, feared the snow would isolate them and the dogs would go hungry. They called Carlton Gray and Charles Laird, partners in a Eu gene feed store, who brought the dog food. after Sacco and Vanzetti i executed Aug. 22, 1927. Nicola Sacco, 29, a shoe factory worker, was married and had a son and a daughter. He lived in Stoughton, 10 miles south of Bos ton. Bartolomeo Vanzetti, 32, unmar ried and a fish peddler, lived in Plymouth. On April 15. 1920, Frederick A. Parmenter. shoe lactory paymas ter, walked from one plant build ing to another carrying the pay roll. His guard was Allesandro Berardelli. As they crossed a street in sub urban South Braintree, two men who had been lounging against a fence suddenly opened fire. Ber ardelli fell. Parmenter was mor tally wounded as he ran. The men grabbed the payroll and escaped in a car containing two or three other men. Three weeks later Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested on a street car. Both carried loaded rcvol- ers. Bullets taken from Berardelli s body were identified as similar to those in cartridges tound on sac co. The Vanzetti gun was identi fied by prosecution witnesses as one taken from Berardelli. Prosecution eyewitnesses said the defendants showed "conscious ness of guilt" by lying when arrested. The defense tore down the repu tations of some of the eyewitnes ses and established at least some question on the identification of the Sacco bullets and the Vanzetti gun. The lawyers argued that the two men lied because they feared they were being seized in a round up of "radicals." In a six-week trial both were convicted of first degree murder and were sentenced to electrocu tion. World wide agitation began dur ing the trial. The case was de bated in the Italian Parliament, There were demonstrations in Mi lan, and scores of other cities throughout the world. After innumerable motions tor new trials, appeals to the slate and federal courts, and tn the Supreme Court of the United States, the conviction was upheld. Final anneals were made to then Gov. Alvan T. Fuller. He annointed a committee headed by President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard to study the case. The others were a former judge, Rob ert Grant: and .President S. W, Stratton of Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology. The committee ruled the trial was fair, and gave its own opinion the men were guilty. In mid-Aucust of 1927, Gov Fuller refused to commute the death sentences and Sacco and Vanzetti were executed just after midnight of Aug. 22.
