A liquid was shot from the noz- zle of the gun to the horse’s rear legs, causing “the animal to jump and whinny in pain. For five minutes the horse plunged, kick- ing its hoofs _against the wagon tongue and seat and cuting its legs severely. Horse’s Leg Burned Raw. Perspiration, caused by the horse’s agony, came from its flanks almost in streams, Hamill said, and within a few moments the animal's legs, where the acid had been sprayed, were raw. The horse is being attended to- day by an employe of the firm who understand veterinary prac- tice. An agents of the Humane Society will view the horse so he may report the extent of the ani- mal’s injuries to prosecuting au- thorities., Hamill noted the license number of the automobile, which was traced to Ryan, who was ‘found “vith Woods in a saloon at 1310 Chambers street.

By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 5.-—A strike in protest against the Sacco- Vanzetti sentence went into effect today. Nearly all the workers in factories and shops joined the movement. Port activitfes were slow owing to the absence of many stevedores, but the general aspect of the city was normal, as banks and commercial establishments were not affected. Violent demonstrations on the part of radicals and the calling of general strikes and mass meetings, have followed the news of Gov. Fuller’s decision not to extend clemency to Sacco and Vanzetti. Advices from Rosario say that several American firms have asked for police protection. In the course of disordeps there yesterday, the windows of some trade establish- ments were broken. Several ar- rests were made. The newspapers of Rosario did not ap- pear. Police are said to be in readiness to cope with any emer- gency. A general strike lasting 48 hours was called to begin today by the Syndical Union of Argentina,’ the most important labor organization in the country. The Regional Fed- eration of Workers of Argentina, a Communist organization, also is- sued a strike call. This organiza- tion is composed of metal workers and chauffeurs. The Workers’ Confederation, made up of railroad men and municipal workers, meets tomorrow to decide on the. ques- tion of a boycott of American goods. Other unions are expected to respond to the call of the So- cilalist party at mass meetings Sun- day. The Argentine Chamber of Dep- uties*has rejected two motions of- fered by Soctalists to request Presi- dent Coolidge and Gov. Fuller to pardon the condemned men. The newspapers have devoted whole pages to comment on the case. La Critica carried three full pages of news and comment. This paper says that “class justice, which made the martyrs of Boston, has prevailed, and twp innocent workers will lose their lives in the holocaust of barbarity and capital- ist justice.” It adds that the “le- gal assassination of Sacco and Van- zetti will be a stigma on the United States.” Demonstration and 24-Hour Strike ~ Planned in Paris, By the Associated Press, PARIS, Aug. 5.—The Sacco-Vans- zetti defense committee is plan- ning to organize a great demonstra- tion on the outer boulevards Sun- day afternoon. L’Oeuvre believes it likely the government will au- thorize the demonstration, inas- much as the committee has an- nounced it will be “peaceful.” In addition a 24-hour strike is to be called Monday by the extremist Unified Labor Federation. These are the only two outward manifestations of opinion produced thus far by Gov. Fuller’s decision that Sacco and Vanzetti must die. News dispaches dealing with the case are’ given prominent place in the morning newspapers, which print numerous pictures, including one of an electric chair. L’Humanite, Socialist organ, urges the proletariat to use every means to save the two condemned men by monster meetings, resolu- tions, street mantfestations and a general strike. “If Sacco and Van- zetti are executed, which we still like to believe is tnadmissable,” it says, “any congress of the Amer- ican Legion will become absolutely impossible in Paris.” Gustave Tery, manging editor of L’Ocuvre, which took the Initia- Continued on Page 2, Colums 2.

The committee will ask for a stay of execu- tion. The alleged new evidence is the discovery, made while Gov. Fuller’s investigation was in progress, of an American Ex- press Co. receipt for a barrel of live eels shipped from Bos- ton to Vanzetti in Plymouth on Dec. 20, 1919. That was a Saturday. It is the contention of the Defense Committee that the eels did not reach Vanzetti for two days and that on Dec. 24, the day of the attempted holdup ‘n Bridgewater, for which he was sentenced to State prison for 12 to 15 years, he was marketing these eels in Plymouth. The committee has not indicated how it will link this with the murder case. Should they fail in this move, the committee will seek a writ of habeas corpus in the Federal Court. CITY HALTS WORK ON MO.-PAC. BUILDING Steel Erectors Fail to Protect Carpenters and Others on Lower Floors. Work on the new 22-story Mis- sourt Pacific Building, Thirteeuth and Olive streets, was stopped at 1:15 today by Director of Public Safety Brod because of the failure of the steel erectors, working on the twelfth floor, to protect carpenters and concrete workers employed on the floor below.
