Fuller of Massachusetts to examine the evidence submitted to Judge Webster Thayer in the famed Sacco-Vanzetti case.

Little water, no bathtub, no faucets or sinks, will be needed. Toilets will be dry, a machine converting sewage into methane gas to provide the house's light and power. Air will be conditioned, making bedclothes unnecessary. All machinery will fit into the central duraluminum mast...
