effort to get Sacco, Vanzetti and other
radical Italian workmen.
1t is significant that the car was
later turned over to an insurance COM
pany, that in turn quickly delivered to
a salvage company, that is supposed
to have destroyed it, altho it was an
exhibit in the Sacco-Vanzetti case
that has not yet been completed. 1t
was also new car. There could have
been no reason to destroy it, except
to hide facts that might aid in the
release of Sacco and Vanzetti
Another Family In Coaccci's House.
Another family is now living in
Coacci's home. Coacci was taken for
deportation April 18th, the day after
the South Braintree robbery. It was
the Coacci home that the police used
in hitching up the Bridgewater at
tempted robbery of Dec. "a, 1919, with
the South Braintree hold-up of April
Is, 1920. This came as the result of
the efforts of Chief of Police Stewart
Of Bridgewater to connect the same
gang" with the two robberies. It
was thought that an important clew
was available in the fact that an
Overland car had been left by Boda,
who lived with Coacci, with the John
son Garage, in Elm Square, at West
Bridgewater. to be traded for a Ford
roadster. Johnson had been told to
notify the police when anyone called
for Boda's car.
It was on May 9Th, the day follow
ing the death of Andrea Salsedo, who
was hurled from the fourteenth story
offices Of the department of justice
in Park Row, New York, that Sacco
and Vanzetti decided to make the
rounds of their friends and urge them
to hide any radical literature they
possessed, in case of raids. At the
same time they wanted to work up a
protest meeting against the killing Of
Salsedo. For this purpose they needed
an automobile, to cover the distances
between the factory towns, They
sought out Boda, who went with them
and Orciani, another Italian worker,
to get the car at Johnson's garage.
johnson told them that the car did
not have the right plates and that
they shouldn't drive it, using this as
a stall to gain time, so that he could
rotify the police. They agreed not
to take the auto. Instead Sacco and
Vanzetti took the street car for Brock
ton, where they were arrested upon
their arrival. Vanzetti had in his
pocket the rough draft Of a leaflet
for the proposed Salsedo protest meet
ing.
We visited Johnson's garage In
the rear, turned upside down and
rusting away in sun and rain. lies the
remaines of Boda's car. Boda disap-
reared when he heard of the arrest of
Sacco and Vanzetti. Orciani had an
alright alibi both for the Bridge
water and the South Braintree af
fairs. He was let go.
Sacco was also working all day in
the Kelly factory on the day of the
Bridgewater affair So Vanzetti alone
was charged with this attempted rob
berry. He was found guilty and given
a sentnce of Is years in prison. Both
Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with
the South Braintree affair.
Visit Scene of Bridgewater Affair.
We visited the scene of the Bridge.
water robbery in Broad Street, Bridge
water. One Georgiana Brooks tells of
witnessing the shooting from the rail
road station. The only trouble is that
several houses intervene between the
scene of the attempted hold-up and the
station, so she could not have seen it.
Again Eanzetti was charged with
having driven the bandit car, when
he does not know how to run an auto
mobile. Again he was said to have
been smooth-shaven, when he has al
ways worn q long, black moustache.
But the facts are of little concern
when the capitalist state is seeking
the lives of its enemies-of two work
crs struggling for better day. That
is the only conclusion we could reach,
as we came to Scotland Village, where
lived Adeline Truzzeli, the white
haired italian mother, with her two
sons, her husband dead, deportee from
the United States of America that
casts out thinking workers, or de-
stroys them in prisons at home.
In conclusion, as in the beginning.
