Mayor Walkers Original Observations

The Homecoming of Hylan

rT-AMMANY'S Ex-Mayor John F. Hylan after years of
wandering the political Wilderness has returned to the
fold His return somewhat abrupt in view of the fact
that few before the event his friends had announced
that Hylan would be candidate for mayor.

to the republican ticket itself with whatever other
support he could get In either evenuaty he prepared

difference between the various groups of politicians running
on the three capitalist tickets the Tammany democrats head

Norman Thomas standard bearer.
Next to the last moment, Hyan threatened to

But there couple judgeshps that will have to be

(Continued)
By VERN SMITH.


The legal procedure during the
years that followed the conviction
of Sacco and Vanzetti can be briefly
summarized. Except in the
imagination of liberals, it is unim-
portant. The issue was decided when
Labor failed, until much too late, to
take up the gage of battle that was
thrown down to it on May 5, 1920.
If that had been done, if each mo-
ton for retrial had been backed by
well organized labor, the result
would have been different.
Attorney Moore for the defense
appealed on October 20, 1921 to
Judge Thayer to set aside the YER
dict because it was not in accord
ance with the evidence. On Dec.
"a, 1921, Thayer rejected the ap-
peal: decision to burn Sacco and
Vanzetti as two Christmas candles
before the shrine of capitalism.
Next year an appeal was made to
the Supreme Court of the state; it
was rejected on May IL, 1925.
Conclusive Proof Rejected.
Meanwhile, one by one, a series
of motions based on new evidence
discovered by the defense was pre-
sented to Judge Thayer. He treated
each in the same way. He put on
a great show of formality and i'm
partial justice, as does the judge in
the Gastonia case, and he went
about his business or on a vacation,
promising to 'take the matter I'M
der advisement." Then filled with
hope, the liberals slackened their
agitation, and when the working
class, busy with other matters too,
had ceased to concentrate on the
Sacco-Vanzetti case, Thayer would,
sometimes months after the motion
was made, formally deny it.
The motions so treated were:
One based on the confession of the
foreman of the jury that he persua-
ded jurors by himself presenting
evidence against Sacco, evidence
that never went through the court.
One based on the confession of
the prosecution witness Pelzer that
he committed perjury against the
defendants, because of pressure
from the district attorney.
Suppressed Evidence.
One based on an eye witness ac-
count Of the crime, which said that
neither Sacco nor Vanzetti were at
the scene. The prosecution had
spirited this witness away before
the trial started.
One based on proof that prosecu-
ton witness Goodridge was a notori-
GUS crook and a pathological liar,
released from larceny charge by
the district attorney on condition
that he identify" the defendants.
One based on prosecution witness
Lola Andrews confession of per-
jury in the trial.
One based on an affidavit of the
prosecutions bullet expert, Captain
Proctor, that he could not identify
the mortal bullet as Sacco's, but

y
for series of questions which would
make it seem to the jury that he
did.
One based on evidence of a much
more famous expert that the bullet
could not have come from Sacco's
pistol.
One MAY &c, 1920 based on the
confession of Celestino Madeiros
that he and the Morelli gang COM
mitted the crime, and the affidavit
of Department of Justice spy Law
renee Letherman, that the federal
detectives, including himself, had
been watching Sacco and Vanzetti
for a long time, that they never
caught them in any crime, but ct
was the opinion of the Department
of Justice agents here that con-
viction of Sacco and Vanzetti for
murder would be one way of dis
posing of these two men," This was
corroborated by the affidavit of
Fred Weyand, to the same effect,
but adding: 81 believe that their
conviction was the result of the CO.
operation between the Boston agents
of the Department of Justice and
the district attorney.
After this last motion was denied
by Thayer, an appeal from his de-
cision on it was made to the State
Supreme Court, which ruled on
April 5, 1927, that Thayer might be
wrong or right, but anyway, he had
the right to decide.
Sentence of Death.
On April 8, 1917, Thayer SEN
fenced Sacco and Vanzetti each to
suffer the punishment of death by
the passage of a current of cleo
tricity through your body"
Both denounced the verdict and
the sentence, and the capitalist JUS
tice back of it; Vanzetti ended a
magnificent speech: 81 am suffer-
ing because l am radical, and in
deed / am a radical D. but l am
so convinced to be right that +. &.
if you could kill me two times, and
| could be reborn two other times,
l would live again to do what l have
done already"
Labor and the liberals modified
for a thousand demonstrations; but
the liberals soon saw another
mirage, in the appeal to Fuller for
pardon. Fuller was shrewd enough
to hold out hope; he appointed an
advisory committee of President
Lowell of Harvard University,
President Samuel Stratton of Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
and Robert Grant, 75-year-old ex-
Judge. All three were incensed high
priests of capital and its institu-
tons, for them too, loyalty" was a
good word. A flood of new evidence
was before them, including the adj
mission of Police Chief Gallivan of
Braintree that he made the tear in
Sacco's cap, which was large part
of the circumstantial evidence on
which Thayer said the verdict of
guilty was based, and affidavits of
newspaper men that Thayer boosted
before the trial was over that he
