...Believing that trial judges should be "no mere moderators or referees," but should "guide and control" inquiries, he is now asked, in effect, to reverse a judicial decision when such a reversal will be universally interpreted as reflecting upon a member of the Massachusetts judiciary. For only Alvan Tufts Fuller, Governor of Massachusetts, can by the exercise of his right of pardon save Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, convicted murderers, from having sent through their bodies, sometime during the week of July 10, 1927, a current of electricity sufficiently powerful to cause their deaths...
...humble Boston officeworker, snatching a hasty and economical midday lunch at a Thompson's restaurant where food is balanced on the broad-arm of a one-armed chair and 50c buys abundant calories to sustain life, has all unknowingly lunched with the Governor of his Commonwealth.

As against the allegations discussed above, he will doubtless consider the facts that Mr. Sacco and Mr. Vanzetti, tried by a jury of their peers, were found guilty; that Trial Judge Webster Thayer, before whom have come repeated petitions for a new trial has steadfastly refused to consider any of the matter contained in these petitions as important enough to justify reopening th? case. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has also refused to allow appeals taken from the verdict arrived...
...points for lubrication (all operated by single motion from the driver's seat.) and a silent, reciprocating engine of one-third more power than the present "Forty-Fifty" Rolls-Royce. These represent the first distinct changes in Rolls-Royce models in 15 years, said Chairman Henry J. Fuller...
