...there is more in the Sacco-Vanzetti case than is contained in a bare recital of its facts and dates. During one morning last week the first mail alone brought to Governor Fuller 57 letters, some urging intercession, others protesting against intercession for Shoemaker Sacco, for Fish-peddler Vanzetti. Twenty-two members of the British Parliament cabled Governor Fuller, demanding a new trial, viewing with horror the approaching executions of two men whose guilt they question.

"We know that you [Judge Thayer] have spoke your hostility against...
...members of the British Parliament demanded immediate freedom for them. Breadmakers and taxi-drivers in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and laborers in many another land went on protest strikes. Heavy guards were posted at the U. S. Department of State and at Judge Thayer's home. . . . And, meanwhile, the fish peddler and the shoemaker sat in jail, fumbling with martyrdom. They have two hopes: a technicality leading to the U. S. Supreme Court, a pardon by Governor Fuller...
