Sacco, Yanzetti Ghosts
fount State Jail Halls
BOSTON (AP) Sacco and Van-
zetti have, been dead 31 years,
but their ghosts may stalk the
halls of the Massachusetts Slate
House again in 1959.
Once again there may be a
great debate on the same ques
tion that made these two obscure
Italian immigrants one a fish
neddlcr. the other a shoe worker
world figures in the 1920s and
subjects of controversy ever since.
Were tlk-y really guilty of mur
dering a factory paymaster and
his guard, and robbery of a $15,000
navro 1?
or were tney convicted ny a
hard hearted New England jury
because they were aliens and draft
dodgers' and admitted to being
radicals ? And what ever Be
came of their reported accom
plices?
Rep. Alexander J. Cella U-
Medfordl now asks the Massa
chusetts Legislature to pardon the
two men to "correct and historic
injustice."
Cella, 29, was born two years
WHAT TO GIVE a hard-to-give-to father for Christmas
was solved at the recent holiday season by Annette Ja
cobs, older daughter of Rudy Jacobs, owner of Rudy's
Mens Shop, 600 Main Street, The gift was an eight-foot
strip of red carpet to welcome customers to the store.
Miss Jacobs, who is employed at Klamath County Chamber
of Commerce, was intrigued with the travel information
releases from United Air Lines telling of its "Red Carpet"
DeLuxe Passenger service. Since United Air Lines is re
placing some of its actual red carpet with red matting,
Miss Jacobs was able to acquire the strip for her father.
Jacobs is shown here, giving meticulous attention to re
moving the most recent footprints on his red carpet.

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.
