BosroN, Oct. 20.-The cry Release
Sacco and Vanzetti!" raised by mobs
ci Communists as they attack Ameri-
can diplomatists in the capitals OF
Europe and South America has
rroused the United States to its first
knowledge of widespread bomb plot
to revive and keep alive industrial
warfare and class hatred.
It is an international Mooney case,
tith its inception in conservative
Boston. The uprising in the Euro
lean capitals is timed to fit exactly
with the filing OF an appeal for the
two Italian Red leaders, under sem
fence to die for the murder Of the
laymaster Of the big shoe plant In
'braintree and his guard. The papers
IN the appeal will be submitted to-
morrow
Under orders from William J..
Burns, chief of the Bureau Of In
vestigation Of the Department Of
Justice, Federal agents to-day are
eearching the Communist colonies In
Boston and the Industrial centres Of
Now England, where radicalism is
ilourishing, for further information
regarding the bomb outrage In Am
bassador Herrick's residence in
Paris.
All Part or one Plan.
Secret service agents here have been
advised that the plots and Red upris.
ings which have spread through the
Old World and into South America ire
all part of one plan, the entire IN
spiration of which is the cell in the
sleepy village OF Dedham, ten miles
from Boston, where the two frightened
Italian radicals await the outcome OF
the appeal which they hope will save
them from the electric chair. The Red
leaders OF the world have seized upon
the case to flame the passion OF class
hatred, not so much with the view TO
saving Sacco and Vanzetti as to serv-
ing the cause OF radicalism.
Vanzetti was the intimate friend of
Andrea Salsedo. tho Italian imprisoned
by the Department OF Justice. who
leaped to his death from the Park Row
Building on May 3, 1920. two days after
the date the Federal Government dis
covered was set for a Red revolution.
Nanzettfs intervention on behalf OF
Salsedo at that time was the beginning
Of his troubles with the Secret Service
men.
Mike Boda, a mild hammered and "in-
offensive" little Italian, is credited by
the Federal agents here with being the
real inspiration OF the uprisngs in Paris.
Brussels, Madrid and other capitals.
Hoda. at first was alleged to have been
the accomplice Of Sacco and vanzetti In
the Braintree murders II was charged
that he was one OF the fve na,n who
rode In the green death car when IL sped
into the yards Of Slater & EorrlII's
shoe factory just before the company's
paynaster was shot dead and his funds
amounting to more than $4,000 stolen.
Boda's TIisht From U. ..
Boda fed from the United states
immediately after the murder. while tho
secret service men and police of n dozen
cities were hunting for him. He was
traced from Plymouth to Boston. then
TO New York. where he took a steam
ship for Italy, and the Federal agents
picked him up weeks later in Italy.
They followed his treil to Paris. where
he waa again lost. There is little doubt
that this one man has gone from one
Communist colony to another in Eu-
rope telling his story OF the great in
fustice befnr done gacco and yanxefti
until he has famed the anger OF the
Reds and stirred up the demonstrations
against American injustice"
A fourth 1taiinn was arrested as be-
Ing ono OF the raiders in the mur.cr car
but was not identified. lie spent weeks
IN Dedham courtroom during the early
DAYS OF the trial. and when evidence was
presented tending TO connect him with
the caee he disappeared and no trace
has been found of him since. lie may
have gone TO Europe to join Boda in
alarming the Reds there. But the Fed
ersl agents believe II II more probable
he made his way TO South America and
is responsible for the mysterious upris-
ings in Brazil and Rio dc Janicro.
The Communists Of Boston and New
England towns succeeded IN stirring up
q great controversy following the arrest
OF Sacco and Vanzetti. They reused the
syrnpathies Of several prominent parlor
Socialists and were successful In raising
fund OF more than 100000 with which
they have conbatted step by step every
move made by the state in the prosecu-
tlon.
The cry here for year was the same
as that being heard to-day In Paris and
