day of the crime he was in Boston. thirty
miles from Braintree. Prof. Dentamaro,
connected with the Haymarket National
Bank. an attache OF the Italian con-

to having been with Sacco or having
seen him in Boston within an hour or
two OF the time of the Braintree murder.
He was at luncheon with several friends
almost at the time OF the shooting. ac-
cording to the testimony.
Vanzetti's alibi was that he was in
Plymouth. twenty-five miles from Brain

der. Eleven Plymouth citizens, several
of them Italians. testified to having
talked with him there On that day. They
recalled numerous little incidents which
identified the day. One man remembered
1t because 1t was his wife's birthday and
he bought fish from Vanzetti for the oc-
casion.

first reaction from the bomb demonstra-
tions In Europe, the radicals here have
all the advantage. If 1t is cam

successful. for there is apparent on all
sides to-day a disposition to give the

three shots, and one of the mounted

cases took on the International impor-
tance they were trying hard to attribute
TO Salsedo. Vanzetti is known as one
OF the best Italian orators In radical
ranks. while Sacco is the philosopher
and student.
Great effort had been made by the
New England Reds for months before
the arrest OF Sacco and vanzetti to
raist funds for the SalscGo and Ella
cases. That fact gave rise to one Of
charges circulated throughout the Bos-
ton territory during the trial and which
unquestionably had great bearing on the
public mind although never brought out
, in the court t-ia. as any part of the pro-
ceedings.
Tie charge was that sore OF the radi-
cal leaders in New Englond had been in
structed by the Red chieftains to raise
$50. 900 within a certain time to be used
in connection with the Salsedo and other
cases. The money had no. been forth
coming, il was charged. The radicals OF
New England were cooling and did not
turn their purses upside down to help
some New York agitator. 1t was that
pressing need for funds e. make good
the allotment for New England that 1t
became necessary TO resort TO holdup
to get the money, 1t was charged.
The story was circulated widely. II
was recognized by the defence commit
tees publicity bureau and denounced as
a cruel and inhuman means of under
handed attack. No one appears to know
who originated the story and certainly
il never was given any official recogni-
tion or Endorsement. But the repetition
did as much as any one other thing
to rouse the anger of radicals and give
them grounds for their cry Of persecu-
ton.
