A bomb at Sacramento, evidentiy timed to explode at the hour ol tiie Sacco and VnnzoUi execution, smasiied the roof of the State Theatre, and lire destroyed the building. The loss is estimated at a hundred thousand sterling.
A message from Boston states that as the result of a twenty-live day hunger strike, there is a doubt whether Sacco will' live out the resfiite. lie collapsed 'when he tried to walk unaided from the death house, but he refused to end his fast. .Mrs Busina Sacco was also prostrated on seeing his oendition. Warder Hendry is determined not to let: the prisoner starve himself to death, and plans with the prison physician to feed him forcibly. Vnnzotti took liquid refreshments, and is reported to be in better spirits. It is Itelieved that the lives of Sacco and \ aivcetti depend on the ability of Counsel Mill to convince the .Massachusetts Supreme Court, during the hearing on August ]f>th. that Judge Thayer exhibited prejudice at their trial.
