BOSTON MURDER TRIAL.
CASE FOR TWO ITALIANS. BELIEF IN THEIR INNOCENCE. PLEA BY BRITISH AUTHORS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received August 19, 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z.-Sun. LONDON, Aug. 18. The fate of the two Italians, Sacco and Vanzetti, condemned to death at Boston in connection with the murder of a payclerk and his guard seven years ago, continues to attract attention in England. The well-known British author, Mr. .John Galsworthy, has issued a statement in which he says:—"After a critical study of Professor Frankfurter's summary of the evidence in the Sacco-Vanzetti case, I cannot resist my conviction that justice lias miscarried. I hope the State of Massachusetts will avoid the risk of making that miscarriage irrevocable." Two other famous British writers, Messrs. H. G. Wells and Arnold Bennett, jointly state that they are impressed by the weight of evidence against the conviction of the two men. They implore the Governor, Mr. Alvan Fuller, and the people of Massachusetts not to stain the history of their State with the blood of two innocent individuals.
