Judge Thayer, Before Whom Conviction Was Won, to Hear Arguments. COOLIDGE AID IS URGED Writ of Habeas Corpus Is Refused; Petition Placed Up to Fuller. BY HENRY MINOTT United Proas Staff Correspondent BOSTON, Aug. B.—Seven years after it began in Dedham as the obscure murder trial of two obscure Italians, the Sacco-Vanzetti case shifted again today to the county court there. This time, the eyes of the entire civilized world were upon it. Counsel for the two anarchists, condemned to die early Thursday morning, prepared an almost despairing move to stay the execution. The scene for the argument on their motion for anew trial was in the court where Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted of the murder of a paymaster and his guard; where four appeals for anew trial had been denied; and where the death sentence had been imposed last April. Before Thayer Again It was set before Judge Webster Thayer, who convicted them and denied all their moves for a retrial. Judge Thayer arrived at Dedham courthouse shortly before 2 p. m., guarded by several State troopers and policemen. The elderly judge, clad In a light gray suit, stepped from his automobile and walked spryly up the steps of the courthouse. The motion for anew trial is based on eight affidavits, six of which charge Judge Thayer with prejudice at the trial. Because of the nature of the affidavits, defenso counsel asked that another judge be assigned to hear the motion, but the request was declined. Judge Thayer was summoned from his vacation in Maine to hear the readtng of the evidence against him and decide if his conduct at the trial warrants anew trial.

Little Hope Held Apparently having little hope that Judge Thayer would reverse his attitude after his persistent refusals to reconsider the case, the defense was ready to play the few remaining cards in its hands. V Defense attorneys lost a preliminary skirmish in their legal battle to sa 'e the anarchists when Justice George A. Sanderson of Massachusetts Supreme Court dismissed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He also denied writ of error. Governor Fuller indicated this afternoon that he would not act on Sacco and Vanzetti’s petition for another respite until pending court action In the case had been completed. The Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee today wired a personal appeal to President Coolidge, asking him to intervene. United States Department Involved Executive action was requested “because of the relation of the Federal Government to the Sacco-Van-zetti case through the United States Department of Justice.” The telegram referred to the precedent established by the late President Wilson in the Mooney case, In California. If the efforts In State courts fall, the defense will switch to the Federal courts, first with a habeas corpus motion before District Judge George W. Anderson, then with a

petition for a writ of certiorari before Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States Supreme Court. Police broke up a meeting of 10,000 Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers on Boston Commons yesterday. The permit for the meeting was rescinded, because of fear of trouble. Edward Horton James, nephew of the late novelist, Henry James, was sentenced to ninety days in jail after his conviction in municipal court today on charges of assaulting two policemen, at this meeting. The jail sentence was imposed at the request of the defendant, who told the court he preferred to work out such a sentence rather than pay a $75 fine.
