...night before in Paris there had been a Communist mass-meeting, and a deputation of Communists had just called, in a high state of excitement, to present resolutions demanding that Ambassador Herrick intercede to prevent the "assassination" of Comrades Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti of Massachusetts. Mr. Waterhouse had engaged the leaders of the deputation in thoughtful conversation and pointed...
...years is a long life for an international episode. Six years ago Nicola Sacco, factory worker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, fish peddler, were convicted for a double murder in South Braintree, Mass. Today they are neither free nor executed. Radicals and liberals the world over have respectively tossed bombs at U. S. embassies and put up a huge defense fund to show that they thought Mr. Sacco and Mr. Vanzetti had been convicted unjustly. The defense says that in 1920 the U. S. was on a militant radical hunt, and so used a murder conviction as a speedy method of getting...
...believers in the innocence of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti could have asked no more than that all the pleas, objections, exceptions or motions of any sort in behalf of these convicted men should be heard, considered and duly weighed by the tribunals of this Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts found them guilty of the Braintree murders, sentenced them to death, despite numerous witnesses who said that they had bought eels and fish from Mr. Vanzetti in North Plymouth at the hour of the crime, despite the Italian consul at Boston who swore that Mr. Sacco had come to him to procure a passport to Italy on that April morning...
...Characters. "Early mornings, pushing his fish cart up and down the long main street of North Plymouth, Mass., ringing his bell, chatting with housewives in Piedmontese, Tuscan, pidgin English, Bartolomeo Vanzetti worried about the raids, the imprisonment of comrades, the lethargy of the working people. He was an anarchist . . . Between the houses he could see the gleaming stretch of Plymouth Bay, the sandy islands beyond, the white dories at anchor. He was planning to go into fishing himself in partnership with a man who owned some dories. About three hundred years before, men from the west of England had first...
