Boston, Nov. 23.-SpoIesmen for the
Third Internationale, whose seat Of
government is in starving Russia. have
united in a worldwide demand for a
new trial for Sacco and VanZetti Ital-
ian radicals, convicted of numbering a
shoe factory paymaster and his guard
in South Braintree.
Word has been received that the
leaders Of the Socialist, anarchist and
Communist and radical members OF the
Chamber of Deputies called yesterday
on Ambassador Richard Washburn
Child and demanded that he intercede
with the American Government in de-
manding new trial.
In the national convention Of radi-
Gals few days ago in Czecho-Slo
vakia Sacco and yanzetti were elected
honorary chairmen and honorary
members and demand was made for a
new trial. The anarchists and Social
lists fused and adopted the rule Of the
Third Internationale.
Leuine Behind World Drive.
Doubt no longer exists here. that
Lenine and Trotzky are the hackers of
this European movement and that their
purpose is to- cement their forces
through this common cause. As THE
NEW York HERALD has shown, the radi-
calls of the world are being tutored in
the facts Of the case now on appeal.
The charge that Sacco and Vanzetti are
being railroaded because they are radi-
Gals Is to be backed up throughout the
world, as in this country. by the defence
which in it's appeal for a new trial
assails the States case and ridicules
the evidence on which the two men were
convicted.
The defence is gathering great
strength from the moral support Of the
several groups of parlor Socialists,
independents and others in New Eng
land, who declare they are convinced
Sacco and vanzetti should not have
been convicted.
OF the score or moro New England
newspaper men who covered the Sacco-
vanzetti trials fully half say they
question the conviction. They are pre-
paringl a pamphlet setting forth their
own beliefs and pointing out wherein
they say the State failed. Such Is the
intense, feeling in all quarters concern
ing this remarkable case that every
one who touches it becomes a partisan
on one side or the other.
Well Known Women Help.
In the group Of well known women
in society who have taken up the fight
for Sacco and vanzetti two of the most
prominent are Mrs. Glendower Evans of
Brookline and Mrs. Louis B. Rantoul.
II have been member Of the Sacco-
vanzetti defence committee for several
months" Mrs. Evans said. II believe
they did not commit the murder in South
Braintree We intend only to free
them by legal means. II we fail In our
appeal we shall carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court, and IL
we then fail all we can do is appeal to
the Governor Of this State"
Mrs. Evans has been one Of the liberal
contributors to the defence fund used to
employ several lawyers including Fred
Moore OF California. Mrs. Rantoul was
at the trial as a representative of the
Federal Council of Churches. She says !:
IT heard all the evidence. ! went as
an observer and not as a radical had
no interest In the cause of anarchy. We
were all familiar with vanzettis first
trial In, connection with the Bridgewater
Ioldup, and many had questioned tlie
justice of his conviction in that case
That was the reason for tho great IN
terest In the Sacco-yanzetd case, which
came later
On the fiyleaf of one OF the most sem
sational pamphlets distributed by the
defence committee is the following from
the Boston Post. displayed in big type:
Many we'll known local people have
always doubted the guilt of Sacco and
vanzetti. while labor unions here and
in the mill cities OF Lawrence, Lowell
and Fall River have declared that the
two men are being rairoaded by the De-
partment Of Justice
Outlines OF Defense.
with these thousands OF other state
Jments have been supplied to radical
leaders throughout the world and are
now household words In all Communist
centres The outlines of the defence
sent broadcast and which will be heard
IN the mass meetings In New York and
other American cities on Friday and all
next week are: s
That the State failed to Identify fully
either Sacco or Vsnzetti as riders In the
death car at the shoe factory murder.
That the State pleaded that beth Sacco
and vanzetti showed consciousness OF
gui1t' when arrested. They refused to
tell where they had been or what they
We're doing This is explained by the de-
fence on the ground that they had been
out warning all radicals OF pending
roundup by the Department. OF Justice
and destroying radical literature.
That twenty witnesses testify that
Eacco was IN Boston on the afternoon
OF the murder and that Vanzetti was in
Plymouth. Boston Is thirty miles from
South Braintree and Plymouth Is twen-
