Aided IN Sacco
Murde11, Loses
HIS $1,000 Job

BOSTON, Opp April 25.-Frank
A. Goodwin, registrar of motor We
hicles and conspicuous leader in the
hymn of hate against Sacco and Van
zetti last summer, has lost his $4,000
state job. He had a run-in with the
marble-eyed Governor Fuller and now
he is out-selling autos and wonder
ing how it all happened.
Goodwin played the game of the
patrioteers while the Sacco-Vanzetti
case was on the front page of news
papers from Maine to Melbourne.
While the case was before Fuller for
final determination, Goodwin libelled
both labor men in a speech before the
Lawrence Kiwanis Club. Speaking on
"Sacco and Vanzetti and the Red
PERIL" he dragged in bolshevism,
companionate marriage, birth control
and other choice bogeys of the old
ladies of the D. A. R. He demanded
the electric chair for the anarchists.
Later he admitted to a fellow state
employee that knew nothing whatever
about the case.
Goodwin's speech was concocted by
the Keymen of America, labor-bait-
ing outfit Pamphlets containing the
speech were printed by the thousands
for the use of the Industrial Defense
Association which also makes labor
batting pay.
