...trend of events last week continued to offer no encouragement to Sacco-Vanzetti adherents. There had been not the slightest official indication that the case has taken an unfavorable turn for the condemned men, but both the prisoners themselves and their defense committee had seemingly lost faith in Governor Fuller and his advisory committee. The most striking evidence of their pessimism had been the continuation of their hunger strike. Mr. Sacco had been on his hunger strike since July 17; Mr. Vanzetti had been virtually fasting for the same period, though he at least drank coffee during the first...
...Governor Fuller and his Advisory Committee both completed their investigation and the Governor announced an early decision. Then came another delay in the long delayed case when Alvan T. Fuller Jr., the Governor's 12-year-old son, was stricken with appendicitis and taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for an operation.

But last week's events, though not necessarily conclusive, led many observers to believe that the death sentence imposed on Messrs. Sacco & Vanzetti would be carried...
Died. Charles Fuller Baker, founder and dean of Los Banos Agricultural College* at the University of the Philippines, brother of Author Ray Stannard Baker ("David Grayson"); at Manila, P. I. For eight years he had lived in a village shack, sleeping on a broken bamboo bed, halving his salary with War-impoverished fellow-scientists in Europe. He furnished the Universities of Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Moscow, Vienna and the Philippines with extensive zoological collections; left a collection at Los Banos including 50,000 insect specimens...
