and disorderly house, he says.
Bibber Barone drove up with
some others in motorcar and de-
manded a girl named Tessie, who
had recently been brot to the house.
Made1ros, who was at that time en-
ployed as bouncer, told Barone
that he and his gang had double
crossed him (Madeiros) once on
job (the South Braintree AFFAIR.",
and that he might forgive them for
that, but If they took the girl he
would bump them all.
Weeks said Mad6iros told him
that the South Braintree job was ar
ranged by the Joe Morelli gang,
whom he had known as a gang of
thieves with headquarters in Prov
idence, R. l., where they had done
most Of their stealing, shipping the
stolen goods to be disposed Of in
New York City. Some of the Nor
ELI gang had been arrested months
before the South Braintree job for
robbing freight cars in Providence,
but were out on bail.
Madeiros said that for the Wren
than bank Job he wanted a Hudson
car to get away with, and did not
want a Buick; that he had used the
Buick in the South Braintree job.
Weeks also says that Madeiros
often talked about the Sacco-Van-
zetti case, saying they had plenty
OF money to get out with, but that
II they were ever convicted he
would come TO the front before he
would see them go to the chair.
Thus Madeiros had divulged the
part played by the Moreln gang in
the South Braintree affair, absolv-
ing Sacco and VanEetti from any
part in this crime, at least a year
before he finally got in touch with
Sacco in the Dedham jail
In order to show that the above
evidence is new evidence, as re-
quired by capitalist law in order to
secure a new trial, jeremiah j.
McAnarney, counsel for Vanzetti in
the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, declares
In an affidavit that he never heard
of the MoreTn gang of Providence,
nor of their connection with the
South Braintree murders, nor did he
ever learn Of the existence OF Ce-
lestino Madeiros until after the
Wrentham bank affair.
There is another afidavit from
Edward ]. Lennon, a newspaper re-
porter Of Boston, in which he says
that he knows that for many months
there was a saloon at the corner of
Southampton st. and Dorchester
Ave-, South Boston, that it was in
operation during the autumn of
1924, and continued in operation I'M
til within six months Of the date Of
his statement-June T.. 1928.
William @. Thompson, attorney
for Sacco and Vanzetti, filed an ad-
ditional affldavit, presenting the
court proceedings against Joseph,
Fred and Pasquale Morelli for
freight car thefts in Providence,
showing that on March Is, 1920,
just a month before the South Brain
tree crime, Joseph Morelli was sur
rendered by his bondsmen and OBJ
tanned another bondsman who gave
him bail in $4,000.
Thus the Morelh gang of freight
car robbers was in sore straits to
furnish bail money and raise funds
to pay lawyers TO fight their case
in the courts. So they turned from
petty freight car thieves to the more
lucrative role Of payroll bandits,
committing the crime at South
Braintree on April 10, 1920, that the
United States government and the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
seized upon as a weapon with which
to railroad Sacco and Vanzetti to
death in the electric chair, ito dis
pose Of them"
Here is the powerful truth. Labor
must use the truth as an effective
weapon to fight for and free its own
-Sacco and Vanzetti.
Tomorrow:-The affidavit OF John
T. Mckay, captain OF the New
Bedford, Mass, police department,
who admitted that pursuit of the
Morelli gang was dropped with
the arrest Of Sacco and Vanzetti.
