Bv VERN SMITH

On May 5, 1920, the Palmer RED
Raids" had been going on for year.
A gigantic open shop drive was COM
ing. and the U. S. government and
all the state governments, even city
and town governments, were clear
ing the way for it by creating a
reckless hysteria, by arresting mill
tant workers in droves, by deporta-
tons and frame-ups, by enforcing
every variety of criminal syndical-
ism and criminal anarchy laws, and
other repressive statutes.
They had begun to work on. lesser
leaders, having done for the moment,
what damage they could against
those better known.
So on that day.. local police ar
rested Nicola Sacco and Bartolemeo
Vanzetti, on street car in Brockton,
Mass.
Uncle Sans Stepchildren.
Sacco and Vanzetti were in the bad
books of the department of justice
at Washington. Since their arrival
from Italy, as boys, in the same
year, 1908, Sacco had become an agi-
tator among workers at his trade,
in the shoe industry, and besides had
been on the Lawrence Relief Com
mittee, the local Ettor-G iovanniti de-
tense committees, had helped lead
strike in 1913 in the Draper Co. tex
tile machine shop, and had evaded
the draft by a trip to Mexico. I'm
like Wilson who was "too proud to
fight" until he was elected, Sacco
was always too proud to fight like
slave for his masters interests.
He would fight all right for the
working class.
In Mexico Sacco first met Van
zetti, whose chief labor struggle up
to that time had been his activity
in the cordage factory strike at Ply
mouth, in 1916, but who was becom-
ing known as speaker. He had ed
ucated himself. He was an unskilled
laborer, and not long before his ar
rest was working as a fish peddler
Salsedo TORTURED.
Both Sacco and Vanzetti returned
to Massachusetts, where they con-
tinued to belong to the Galleani
group of anarchists.
A federal spy named Ravarini was
set on Sacco, Vanzetti, and others.
He failed to get them deeply enough
in his frame-up trap to make arrests
before he was exposed, though at
that time he was negotiating to start
an anarchist paper with Vanzetti as
editor. He did cause the arrest of
two friends of theirs, Salsedo and
Ella.
Ella was deported hurriedly to
Italy after Salsedo had been "third
degreed" for days in the department
of justice building in New York, and
had been either driven y commit
suicide by leaping from the sky
scraper window, or, what is more
probable, had been thrown out to
conceal the fact that he died under
torture. The U. S. government was
trying to convict him of bomb plot.
Sacco and Vanzetti were active on
committee to defend Salsedo and
Ella; every little police chief in New
England had instructions to watch
them; everybody was in danger.
Some Of the friends of Salsedo and
Ella had anarchist literature, legal
literature, but useful to the I'D. of
j." in framing deportation cases. On
May 5, 1920, Sacco and .Vanzetti, Ri
cardo Orciani and Mike Boda made
an appointment to use Boda's car
to convey books and leaflets to
safety. The wife Of garage owner
named Simon Johnson tipped off the
police when they came to the place
for the car, in West Bridgewater.

Article Il part 1.-THE Sacco-V anzetti Case;
Getting Rid Of Foreign Agitators"

Michael Stewart, chief of police in
Bridgewater, wanted to distinguish
himself; he was watching the Reds
too, but went step further, and
evolved the idea that they could be
convicted of series of pay roll rob-
berries that had been committed in
the vicinity, mostly, as later evil
dence showed, by a professional
gang led by on Joe Morelli, and hav-
ing among its members Celestino
Madeiros.
Handy Crimes.
There were two convenient crimes.
In one, on April Is, 1920, five ban
dts had killed Paymaster Parmenter
and his guard, Berardilli, in South
Braintree, and escaped by auto with
the cash.
Sacco was slated for conviction of
this crime. But at first, apparently,
the prosecution felt it had so little
chance to convict Vanzetti> of the
Braintree murder that it picked an
other offense for him. This may
have been far sighted trickery on
the part of the state, as, if he were
convicted once of a lesser crime, a
respectable New England jury would
more readily find Vanzetti guilty of
murder in another.
They framed Vanzetti for an at
tempt by four bandits to rob a pay
roll truck of the L. Q. White Shoe
Co., in Bridgewater, on Dec. "a, 1919.
Neglected and Betrayed.
Nobody paid much attention to
Vanzetti's trial in the Bridgewater
case. He had little defense, except
from local "Sacco- Vanzetti defense
committee" which could not break
through the crust of terror that lay
over all liberal papers, and all but
the most militant of radical papers.
The evidence against him should not
have convicted anybody, being
merely several very shadowy "iden-
tifications," by witnesses who had
hopelessly contradicted themselves.
Vanzetti's lawyer, John Fahey, was
small town criminal attorney, who
made bargain with District Attor-
ney Katzmann of Norfolk county,
that Vanzetti would not take the
stand, and in return his "radicalism'
would not be made an issue by the
prosecution = when every juror, or
possible juror, had been told by the
local press that the defendant was
dangerous anarchist" Just as in
Gastonia, judge and press repeat
glibly, "no extraneous matter will
influence the court" when every ju-
ror has been deluged with lies
and prejudice against Communists, y
"free lovers" "nigger lovers" etc.
In spite of the fact that the jury
was to be both packed and openly
prejudiced, a reasonable defense
would have made them hesitate.
Vanzetti had thirty witnesses to
prove an alibi; his direct story of
his actions on the day of the rob-
berry, with five times as many sup
porters for this story as the state
had for very unconvincing "identifi-
cations" would have made strong
case. AS it was, Vanzetti was con-
victed. Vanzetti said of his own law
yer, Fahey, and the lawyers run
ner, Govoni, "They railroaded us to
the electric chair, and this they did
most consciously and intentionally"
Vanzetti was then tried with Sacco
for the Braintree murder - he ap-
peared in all legal and public pro-
ceedings thereafter as "a man with
a criminal record"

The Bridgewater trial was in June,
1920. The Braintree trial began on
May 81, 1921, in Dedham. A little
more interest had developed. Fred
H. Moore, of California, was on hand
to defend them. The Socialist Avanti
in Italy supported them; two or
three papers in America were sup
porting them. The Communist move
ment was still underground, but its
legal press supported them. The
world at large knew little of the
case.
The Verdict Before the Trial.
The second jury venire was
rounded up by the sheriff, mostly
from the ultra-conservative Masonic
lodges, and other business mems
club. peremptory challenges of the
defense were soon exhausted. The
foreman of the jury was Walter Rip
ley, former chief of police of Quincy,
who was afterwards proved to have
said before any evidence was in,
"Sacco and Vanzetti should be
hung"
Katzmann was prosecutor again.
Judge Webster Thayer sat on the
bench. He was an old, venomous
man, connected with all the big man.
ufacturing families of the vicinity,
determined to kill these two agita-
tors. His every ruling, his every
word, though always just within the
bounds of legality when in open
court, were prejudicial to the defend
ants.
The prosecutions evidence was of
two sorts: direct ('identifications")
and circumstantial.
AS in the Mooney case the most
important witnesses identifying
the defendants were underworld
characters, afraid of the police. The
best of them, from the prosecutions
point of view, Painting" Lola An
drews, confessed perjury afterwards,
then retracted her confession on
pressure from the prosecutor. An
other, Louis Pelzer, did the same.
Another, Carlos Goodrich, it was
proved by four witnesses, could not
have seen what he said he saw, ad-
mitted to them he didn't see it, and
had been released by Katzmann
from a larceny charge just before
Sacco's trial. Thayer refused to al
low this point to come before the
jury. There were few more, SIM
ilarly unreliable "identifications.
Judge Thayer himself thought them
so weak, that later, when denying a
motion for retrial, he said: "These
verdicts did not rest, in my judg-
ment, upon the testimony of the eye
witnesses, for the defendants, as it
was, called more witnesses than the
Commonwealth to testify that
neither of the defendants was in the
bandit car. The evidence that con-
victed these defendants was circum-
! stantlal and was evidence that is
known in law as consciousness of
guilt "
Foreigner Witnesses Hated.
Sacco and Vanzetti had many wit
nesses to show a perfect alibi, but
these were mostly foreigners like
themselves, and the jury had been
carefully prejudiced against foreign
radicals"
So what was this circumstantial
evidence, and consciousness of
guilt? 1t consisted in the episode
of the car at the garage, that both
were armed when arrested, and that
they tried " len first arrested to con-
ceal their recent movements and as

MERGERS AND MONEY

Those who still wonder where t,.e money comes from to enable huge concerns 10 buy up smaller concerns which in this day is known by the name of ''merger"-need cease their wonderment if they keep an eye on the financial journals.
 All that happens when monster concerns are further colossalized is to have bankers or security houses issue bonds or stocks. The public buys the paper and provides the money. The colossi get that way on other peoples money.
 Such and such a concern may be paraded in the public prints as owning so many millions of proper tE. It is their stockholders and hondholdors, however, who really own the millions; and as things arc done nowadays most of them have very little 10 say in the management. nor do they care about it SO long as the interest on the bonds or the dividends on the stock materiaize.
 If every Thomas and Harry in the country owned slices of these sccuri- ties 1t would be quite an ideal situa- tion Meanwhile the promoters and manipulators of the gobbling-up business see to it that they are well paid for their enterprise.
 There is no fault to find with it; except that the ultimate results to the country may not be of the best. This at least is open to debate, and it will take many years to prove who is right or who is wrong.

AGAIN \ SPEEDY CROSSING

Arrival of the Graf Zeppelin at it's
 home port alongside Lake Constance
 after a speedy trip across the At
 lantic has given this queen Of the
 skies" more honors than has come to
 any airship since the days they were
 built. It will be long. in the estima-
 tion of most observers, before its
 records are smashed.
 Captain Ernst Lehman, who piloted the Graf from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen, did it quite as well as pr. Hugo Eckener might have done. Most of the route across the ocean was dotted with storms, and these it was the business of the com mander to dodge. How a skilled Zeppelin commander does this is one of the marvels of dirigible control. So long as the engines continue working there seems to be little chance of a dirigible being forced to face the rigors of localized storms It will be remembered that at the time the Graf had it's supreme battle over southern France only one of it's
 engines was operating. the others for some unexplained reason having run into trouble all at the same time To our knowledge, this mysterious CO., incidence has never been explained,
 and may have been due as some
 claimed at the time to the use of the
 wrong kind of oil for the trip.
 It appears to be the intention of the Zeppelin owners to inauaurate a Polar expedition. If attempted at the
 right season of the year there seems
 little doubt of the success of such an
 expedition. It has been asserted hv persons possessing knowledge of the Arctic that the top O the world pro- vides short and speedy route be
