Alexander Baraddalli at South Brain
tree. Mass, in April. 1920. The men
were shot dead in the factory yards
and their payroll of $4,000 was stolen
by bandits who drove away in a
green murder car"
Under the leadership of Carlo Tresca,
well known radical here. the Red forces
in this district published advertisements

In their advertisement the radicals
made the following offer:

ence 10 the persons responsible for or hav-
ing any Information relative TO attempted
hold-up az Bridgewater. Massachusetts on
paymaster at South Braintree. Massachusetts-
on April Is, 1920; information will be kept
IN strict confidence and adequate reward
Is subject to proof See personally or WRITE
Carlo Tresca. POS East 18th ST.. New York
City
Large sums to Help Defence.
Backing up their offer. it was made
known that they have available many
thousands of dollars contributed in small
amounts. Tresca said the advertisement
was published here at the request of the
Boston radicals and counsel for Sacco
and Vanzetti.
This is regarded as further evidence
OF the close working connection between
the New York and New England radical
groups. THE New YORK HERALD showed
recently the connection between the
bands. The arrests of Sacco and Van
zetti followed closely the death of Sal
sedo. the Red who jumped from the Park |
Row Building. The New England lead
ers we're arranging a mass meeting to |
fight the Government on behalf or SAL |
sedo's widow when they were arrested. |
but emphatic denial always has been |
made by both groups that they had any |
working agreement.
More than $4,000 has been raised in |
this city by the committee which .is
making the fight for Sacco and vanzetti |
and Is to be used in their defence. The |
sum was made up mostly by twenty-five |
and fifty cent contributions. Few have |
contributed 81 or more. The mass meet
ing and the defence campaign are being |
conducted by the Italian Defence Com |
mittce, the Workers Defence Union and |
the American Labor Alliance.
