Boston reports defense counsel Michael A. Musmanno says Chief Justice Taft telegrammed refusal to grant a stay petition on grounds of lack of jurisdiction. Musmanno notes Taft advised pursuing action before a district Supreme Court justice. The defense had already appealed to Justices Holmes and Brandeis without success. Arthur D. H. was en route to file a stay petition before Justice Harlan F. Stone. Musmanno expected a decision today from Justice Walter P. Hay on a petition heard last week.
