...Veritas group first questioned Schlesinger's professional integrity late in 1957, when Robert H. Montgomery '30 initiated a long and detailed correspondence with Dean Bundy. Attempting to prove "deliberate falsehood" and "suppression of the truth" in Schlesinger's treatment of the Sacco-Vanzetti murder case, Montgomery pointed out at least three factual errors, and the omission of the "single most damning piece of evidence"--the .32 calibre pistol carried by Saco and containing the rare and absolete type of cartridge that killed the guard...
