Sacco und Vanzetti (Originaltitel: Sacco e Vanzetti) ist ein unter der Regie von Giuliano Montaldo für das Kino gedrehter italienisch-französischer Spielfilm aus​. Ferdinando „Nicola“ Sacco und Bartolomeo Vanzetti waren zwei aus Italien in die USA eingewanderte Arbeiter, die sich der anarchistischen Arbeiterbewegung angeschlossen hatten.

Sacco Und Vanzetti Sicher ist, dass sich die beiden über Galleani kennenlernen 32 Tv mit ihm nach Mexiko flüchten, um dem Kriegsdienst zu entgehen. Die Sendung erinnert an Ereignisse der Weltgeschichte. Stockwerk eines New Yorker Polizeigebäudes. Bei seiner Festnahme trägt er einen geladenen Colt eines seltenen, schwer erhältlichen Typs und 23 Ard Podcast bei sich. Sie flüchten in einem blauen Wagen, in dem noch drei andere Personen sitzen. Wie Nicola und Bartolomeo Tv Vorschau Gewalt stehen, ist nicht bekannt. Sacco machte die Situation offenbar weit mehr zu schaffen als Vanzetti, der von sich selbst und anderen als Denker und Träumer beschrieben wurde. Nach etwa fünf Stunden wurden Sacco und Vanzetti durch die Geschworenen in allen Anklagepunkten schuldig gesprochen. Platoon Deutsch es half nichts. Auch die wissenschaftliche Waffenkunde, die Ballistik, steckte noch in den Kinderschuhen, was sich für Sacco und Vanzetti als fatal erweisen sollte.

Yet both hurt their case with rambling discourses on radical politics that the prosecution mocked. The prosecution also brought out that both men had fled the draft by going to Mexico in On July 21, , the jury deliberated for three hours, broke for dinner, and then returned the guilty verdicts.

Supporters later insisted that Sacco and Vanzetti had been convicted for their anarchist views, yet every juror insisted that anarchism had played no part in their decision to convict the two men.

At that time, a first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts was punishable by death. Sacco and Vanzetti were bound for the electric chair unless the defense could find new evidence.

The verdicts and the likelihood of death sentences immediately roused international opinion. Demonstrations were held in 60 Italian cities and a flood of mail was sent to the American embassy in Paris.

Demonstrations followed in a number of Latin American cities. You are a great people. You ought to be a just people. In , most of the nation had not yet heard of Sacco and Vanzetti.

Brief mention of the conviction appeared on page three of the New York Times. Defense attorney Moore radicalized and politicized the process by discussing Sacco and Vanzetti's anarchist beliefs, attempting to suggest that they were prosecuted primarily for their political beliefs and the trial was part of a government plan to stop the anarchist movement in the United States.

His efforts helped stir up support but was so costly that he was eventually dismissed from the defense team. The Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committee was formed on May 9, , immediately following the arrests, by a group of fellow anarchists, headed by Vanzetti's year-old friend Aldino Felicani.

After the Committee hired William G. Thompson to manage the legal defense, he objected to its propaganda efforts. A Defense Committee publicist wrote an article about the first trial that was published in The New Republic.

In the winter of —, the Defense Committee sent stories to labor union publications every week. It produced pamphlets with titles like Fangs at Labor's Throat , sometimes printing thousands of copies.

It sent speakers to Italian communities in factory towns and mining camps. Jackson bridged the gap between the radicals and the social elite so well that Sacco thanked him a few weeks before his execution:.

We are one heart, but unfortunately we represent two different class. But, whenever the heart of one of the upper class join with the exploited workers for the struggle of the right in the human feeling is the feel of an spontaneous attraction and brotherly love to one another.

Multiple separate motions for a new trial were denied by Judge Thayer. The prosecution's firearms expert, Charles Van Amburgh, had re-examined the evidence in preparation for the motion.

By , bullet comparison technology had improved somewhat, and Van Amburgh submitted photos of the bullets fired from Sacco's. In response, the controversial [92] [93] self-proclaimed "firearms expert" for the defense, Albert H.

Hamilton, [92] conducted an in-court demonstration involving two brand new Colt. In front of Judge Thayer and the lawyers for both sides, Hamilton disassembled all three pistols and placed the major component parts — barrel, barrel bushing, recoil spring, frame, slide, and magazine — into three piles on the table before him.

Other motions focused on the jury foreman and a prosecution ballistics expert. In , the defense filed an affidavit from a friend of the jury foreman, who swore that prior to the trial, the jury foreman had allegedly said of Sacco and Vanzetti, "Damn them, they ought to hang them anyway!

Several months later, in February , Judge Thayer asked one of the firearms experts for the prosecution, Capt. Charles Van Amburgh, to reinspect Sacco's Colt and determine its condition.

With District Attorney Katzmann present, Van Amburgh took the gun from the clerk and started to take it apart.

During three weeks of hearings, Albert Hamilton and Captain Van Amburgh squared off, challenging each other's authority.

Testimony suggested that Sacco's gun had been treated with little care, and frequently disassembled for inspection.

New defense attorney William Thompson insisted that no one on his side could have switched the barrels "unless they wanted to run their necks into a noose.

Judge Thayer made no finding as to who had switched the. Meanwhile, Van Amburgh bolstered his own credentials by writing an article on the case for True Detective Mysteries.

The article charged that prior to the discovery of the gun barrel switch, Albert Hamilton had tried to walk out of the courtroom with Sacco's gun but was stopped by Judge Thayer.

Although several historians of the case, including Francis Russell, have reported this story as factual, nowhere in transcripts of the private hearing on the gun barrel switch was this incident ever mentioned.

The same year the True Detective article was published, a study of ballistics in the case concluded, "what might have been almost indubitable evidence was in fact rendered more than useless by the bungling of the experts.

The defense appealed Thayer's denial of their motions to the Supreme Judicial Court SJC , the highest level of the state's judicial system.

Both sides presented arguments to its five judges on January 11—13, Instead, the judges considered only whether Thayer had abused his discretion in the course of the trial.

Thayer later claimed that the SJC had "approved" the verdicts, which advocates for the defendants protested as a misinterpretation of the Court's ruling, which only found "no error" in his individual rulings.

In November , Celestino Medeiros, an ex-convict awaiting trial for murder, confessed to committing the Braintree crimes.

He absolved Sacco and Vanzetti of participation. Police interviews led them to the Morelli gang based in Providence, Rhode Island. They developed an alternative theory of the crime based on the gang's history of shoe-factory robberies, connections to a car like that used in Braintree, and other details.

Gang leader Joe Morelli bore a striking resemblance to Sacco. The defense filed a motion for a new trial based on the Medeiros confession on May 26, The prosecution countered with 26 affidavits.

Justice Department was aiding the prosecution by withholding information obtained in its own investigation of the case.

Attorney William Thompson made an explicitly political attack: "A government which has come to value its own secrets more than it does the lives of its citizens has become a tyranny, whether you call it a republic, a monarchy, or anything else!

After arguing against the credibility of Medeiros, he addressed the defense claims against the federal government, saying the defense was suffering from "a new type of disease, Three days later, the Boston Herald responded to Thayer's decision by reversing its longstanding position and calling for a new trial.

Its editorial, " We Submit ", earned its author a Pulitzer Prize. The defense promptly appealed again to the Supreme Judicial Court and presented their arguments on January 27 and 28, He noted that the SJC had already taken a very narrow view of its authority when considering the first appeal, and called upon the court to review the entire record of the case.

He called their attention to Thayer's lengthy statement that accompanied his denial of the Medeiros appeal, describing it as "a farrago of misquotations, misrepresentations, suppressions, and mutilations," "honeycombed with demonstrable errors.

At the same time, Major Calvin Goddard was a ballistics expert who had helped pioneer the use of the comparison microscope in forensic ballistic research.

He offered to conduct an independent examination of the gun and bullet forensic evidence by using techniques that he had developed for use with the comparison microscope.

Kaiser wrote that Bullet III and its shell casing, as presented, had been substituted by the prosecution and were not genuinely from the scene. In , referring to his denial of motions for a new trial, Judge Thayer confronted a Massachusetts lawyer: "Did you see what I did with those anarchistic bastards the other day?

Let them go and see now what they can get out of the Supreme Court! The New York World attacked Thayer as "an agitated little man looking for publicity and utterly impervious to the ethical standards one has the right to expect of a man presiding in a capital case.

Many socialists and intellectuals campaigned for a retrial without success. John Dos Passos came to Boston to cover the case as a journalist, stayed to author a pamphlet called Facing the Chair , [] and was arrested in a demonstration on August 10, , along with writer Dorothy Parker , trade union organizer and Socialist Party leader Powers Hapgood and activist Catharine Sargent Huntington.

Vincent Millay pleaded her case to the governor in person and then wrote an appeal: "I cry to you with a million voices: answer our doubt There is need in Massachusetts of a great man tonight.

Benito Mussolini , the target of two anarchist assassination attempts , quietly made inquiries through diplomatic channels and was prepared to ask Governor Fuller to commute the sentences if it appeared his request would be granted.

In , a bomb presumed to be the work of anarchists destroyed the house of Samuel Johnson, the brother of Simon Johnson and owner of the garage that called police the night of Sacco and Vanzetti's arrest.

It led to the Colorado coal strike of For their part, Sacco and Vanzetti seemed to alternate between moods of defiance, vengeance, resignation, and despair.

The June issue of Protesta Umana, published by their Defense Committee, carried an article signed by Sacco and Vanzetti that appealed for retaliation by their colleagues.

In the article, Vanzetti wrote, "I will try to see Thayer death [ sic ] before his pronunciation of our sentence," and asked fellow anarchists for "revenge, revenge in our names and the names of our living and dead.

Both wrote dozens of letters asserting their innocence, insisting they had been framed because they were anarchists. Their conduct in prison consistently impressed guards and wardens.

In , the Dedham jail chaplain wrote to the head of an investigatory commission that he had seen no evidence of guilt or remorse on Sacco's part.

Vanzetti impressed fellow prisoners at Charlestown State Prison as a bookish intellectual, incapable of committing any violent crime. Novelist John Dos Passos , who visited both men in jail, observed of Vanzetti, "nobody in his right mind who was planning such a crime would take a man like that along.

While in the Norfolk County Jail , Sacco's seven-year-old son, Dante, would sometimes stand on the sidewalk outside the jail and play catch with his father by throwing a ball over the wall.

In a lengthy speech Vanzetti said: [] []. I would not wish to a dog or to a snake, to the most low and misfortunate creature of the earth, I would not wish to any of them what I have had to suffer for things that I am not guilty of.

But my conviction is that I have suffered for things that I am guilty of. Thayer declared that the responsibility for the conviction rested solely with the jury's determination of guilt.

On May 10, a package bomb addressed to Governor Fuller was intercepted in the Boston post office. In response to public protests that greeted the sentencing, Massachusetts Governor Alvan T.

Fuller faced last-minute appeals to grant clemency to Sacco and Vanzetti. They were presented with the task of reviewing the trial to determine whether it had been fair.

Lowell's appointment was generally well received, for though he had controversy in his past, he had also at times demonstrated an independent streak.

The defense attorneys considered resigning when they determined that the Committee was biased against the defendants, but some of the defendants' most prominent supporters, including Harvard Law Professor Felix Frankfurter and Judge Julian W.

Mack of the U. Circuit Court of Appeals, persuaded them to stay because Lowell "was not entirely hopeless. One of the defense attorneys, though ultimately very critical of the Committee's work, thought the Committee members were not really capable of the task the Governor set for them:.

No member of the Committee had the essential sophistication that comes with experience in the trial of criminal cases. The high positions in the community held by the members of the Committee obscured the fact that they were not really qualified to perform the difficult task assigned to them.

He also thought that the Committee, particularly Lowell, imagined it could use its fresh and more powerful analytical abilities to outperform the efforts of those who had worked on the case for years, even finding evidence of guilt that professional prosecutors had discarded.

Grant was another establishment figure, a probate court judge from to and an Overseer of Harvard University from to , and the author of a dozen popular novels.

His biographer allows that he was "not a good choice," not a legal scholar, and handicapped by age. Stratton, the one member who was not a " Boston Brahmin ," maintained the lowest public profile of the three and hardly spoke during its hearings.

In their earlier appeals, the defense was limited to the trial record. The Governor's Committee, however, was not a judicial proceeding, so Judge Thayer's comments outside the courtroom could be used to demonstrate his bias.

Once Thayer told reporters that "No long-haired anarchist from California can run this court! During the Dedham trial's first week, Thayer said to reporters: "Did you ever see a case in which so many leaflets and circulars have been spread You wait till I give my charge to the jury, I'll show them!

I guess that will hold them for a while. Let them go to the Supreme Court now and see what they can get out of them. Thayer's behavior both inside the courtroom and outside of it had become a public issue, with the New York World attacking Thayer as "an agitated little man looking for publicity and utterly impervious to the ethical standards one has the right to expect of a man presiding in a capital case.

On July 12—13, , following testimony by the defense firearms expert Albert H. Ranney, took the opportunity to cross-examine Hamilton. He submitted affidavits questioning Hamilton's credentials as well as his performance during the New York trial of Charles Stielow, in which Hamilton's testimony linking rifling marks to a bullet used to kill the victim nearly sent an innocent man to the electric chair.

The chief doubted the cap belonged to Sacco and called the whole trial a contest "to see who could tell the biggest lies.

After two weeks of hearing witnesses and reviewing evidence, the Committee determined that the trial had been fair and a new trial was not warranted.

They assessed the charges against Thayer as well. Their criticism, using words provided by Judge Grant, [] was direct: "He ought not to have talked about the case off the bench, and doing so was a grave breach of judicial decorum.

The panel's reading of the trial transcript convinced them that Thayer "tried to be scrupulously fair. A defense attorney later noted ruefully that the release of the Committee's report "abruptly stilled the burgeoning doubts among the leaders of opinion in New England.

Harold Laski told Holmes that the Committee's work showed that Lowell's "loyalty to his class Defense attorneys William G.

Thompson and Herbert B. Ehrmann stepped down from the case in August and were replaced by Arthur D. The executions were scheduled for midnight between August 22 and 23, On August 15, a bomb exploded at the home of one of the Dedham jurors.

Sacco and Vanzetti awaited execution in their cells at Charlestown State Prison , and both men refused a priest several times on their last day, as they were atheists.

Celestino Medeiros, whose execution had been delayed in case his testimony was required at another trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, was executed first.

Sacco was next and walked quietly to the electric chair , then shouted "Farewell, mother. Violent demonstrations swept through many cities the next day, including Geneva, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Tokyo.

In South America wildcat strikes closed factories. Three died in Germany, and protesters in Johannesburg burned an American flag outside the American embassy.

At the funeral parlor, a wreath over the caskets announced In attesa l'ora della vendetta Awaiting the hour of vengeance. On Sunday, August 28, a two-hour funeral procession bearing huge floral tributes moved through the city.

Thousands of marchers took part in the procession, and over , came out to watch. The hearses reached Forest Hills Cemetery where, after a brief eulogy, the bodies were cremated.

Hays , head of the motion picture industry's umbrella organization, ordered all film of the funeral procession destroyed. Sacco's ashes were sent to Torremaggiore , the town of his birth, where they are interred at the base of a monument erected in Vanzetti's ashes were buried with his mother in Villafalletto.

Italian anarchist Severino Di Giovanni , one of the most vocal supporters of Sacco and Vanzetti in Argentina, bombed the American embassy in Buenos Aires a few hours after the two men were sentenced to death.

Three months later, bombs exploded in the New York City Subway , in a Philadelphia church, and at the home of the mayor of Baltimore.

The house of one of the jurors in the Dedham trial was bombed, throwing him and his family from their beds. On May 18, , a bomb destroyed the front porch of the home of executioner Robert Elliott.

In October , H. Wells wrote an essay that discussed the case at length. He called it "a case like the Dreyfus case , by which the soul of a people is tested and displayed.

The guilt or innocence of these two Italians is not the issue that has excited the opinion of the world. Possibly they were actual murderers, and still more possibly they knew more than they would admit about the crime.

Europe is not "retrying" Sacco and Vanzetti or anything of the sort. It is saying what it thinks of Judge Thayer.

Executing political opponents as political opponents after the fashion of Mussolini and Moscow we can understand, or bandits as bandits; but this business of trying and executing murderers as Reds, or Reds as murderers, seems to be a new and very frightening line for the courts of a State in the most powerful and civilized Union on earth to pursue.

He used the case to complain that Americans were too sensitive to foreign criticism: "One can scarcely let a sentence that is not highly flattering glance across the Atlantic without some American blowing up.

In , Upton Sinclair published his novel Boston , an indictment of the American judicial system. He explored Vanzetti's life and writings, as its focus, and mixed fictional characters with historical participants in the trials.

Though his portrait of Vanzetti was entirely sympathetic, Sinclair disappointed advocates for the defense by failing to absolve Sacco and Vanzetti of the crimes, however much he argued that their trial had been unjust.

Moore that the two were guilty and that he Moore had supplied them with fake alibis; Sinclair was inclined to believe that that was, indeed, the case, and later referred to this as an "ethical problem", but he did not include the information about the conversation with Moore in his book.

When the letters Sacco and Vanzetti wrote appeared in print in , journalist Walter Lippmann commented: "If Sacco and Vanzetti were professional bandits, then historians and biographers who attempt to deduce character from personal documents might as well shut up shop.

By every test that I know of for judging character, these are the letters of innocent men. Fuller left the inauguration of his successor, he found a copy of the Letters thrust at him by someone in the crowd.

He knocked it to the ground "with an exclamation of contempt. Intellectual and literary supporters of Sacco and Vanzetti continued to speak out. In , on the day when Harvard celebrated its th anniversary, 28 Harvard alumni issued a statement attacking the University's retired President Lowell for his role on the Governor's Advisory Committee in Following the SJC's assertion that it could not order a new trial even if there was new evidence that "would justify a different verdict," a movement for "drastic reform" quickly took shape in Boston's legal community.

Its principal proposal addressed the SJC's right to review. It argued that a judge would benefit from a full review of a trial, and that no one man should bear the burden in a capital case.

A review could defend a judge whose decisions were challenged and make it less likely that a governor would be drawn into a case. It asked for the SJC to have right to order a new trial "upon any ground if the interests of justice appear to inquire it.

The Judicial Council repeated its recommendations in and Finally, in , the language it had proposed was adopted. Since that time, the SJC has been required to review all death penalty cases, to consider the entire case record, and to affirm or overturn the verdict on the law and on the evidence or "for any other reason that justice may require" Mass.

General Laws, ch. Many historians, especially legal historians, have concluded the Sacco and Vanzetti prosecution, trial, and aftermath constituted a blatant disregard for political civil liberties , and especially criticize Thayer's decision to deny a retrial.

John W. Johnson has said that the authorities and jurors were influenced by strong anti-Italian prejudice and the prejudice against immigrants widely held at the time, especially in New England.

Mario Buda readily told an interviewer: " Andavamo a prenderli dove c'erano " "We used to go and get it [money] where it was" — meaning factories and banks.

Johnson and Avrich suggest that the government prosecuted Sacco and Vanzetti for the robbery-murders as a convenient means to put a stop to their militant activities as Galleanists, whose bombing campaign at the time posed a lethal threat, both to the government and to many Americans.

Most historians believe that Sacco and Vanzetti were involved at some level in the Galleanist bombing campaign, although their precise roles have not been determined.

In , anarchist leader Carlo Tresca , a member of the Sacco and Vanzetti Defense Committee, told Max Eastman , "Sacco was guilty but Vanzetti was innocent", [] although it is clear from his statement that Tresca equated guilt only with the act of pulling the trigger, i.

This conception of innocence is in sharp contrast to the legal one. Others attributed Tresca's revelations to his disagreements with the Galleanists.

Labor organizer Anthony Ramuglia, an anarchist in the s, said in that a Boston anarchist group had asked him to be a false alibi witness for Sacco. After agreeing, he had remembered that he had been in jail on the day in question, so he could not testify.

Both Sacco and Vanzetti had previously fled to Mexico, changing their names in order to evade draft registration, a fact the prosecutor in their murder trial used to demonstrate their lack of patriotism and which they were not allowed to rebut.

Sacco and Vanzetti's supporters would later argue that the men fled the country to avoid persecution and conscription; their critics said they left to escape detection and arrest for militant and seditious activities in the United States.

However, a Italian history of anarchism written by anonymous colleagues revealed a different motivation:. Several dozen Italian anarchists left the United States for Mexico.

Some have suggested they did so because of cowardice. Nothing could be more false. The idea to go to Mexico arose in the minds of several comrades who were alarmed by the idea that, remaining in the United States, they would be forcibly restrained from leaving for Europe, where the revolution that had burst out in Russia that February promised to spread all over the continent.

In October , ballistic tests were run with improved technology on Sacco's Colt semi-automatic pistol. The results confirmed that the bullet that killed Berardelli in was fired from Sacco's pistol.

Seibolt in According to Whipple, Seibolt said that "we switched the murder weapon in that case", but indicated that he would deny this if Whipple ever printed it.

Van Amburgh described a scene in which Thayer caught defense ballistics expert Hamilton trying to leave the courtroom with Sacco's gun.

However, Thayer said nothing about such a move during the hearing on the gun barrel switch and refused to blame either side. In , a former mobster published a confession by Frank "Butsy" Morelli, Joe's brother.

Before his death in June , Giovanni Gambera, a member of the four-person team of anarchist leaders who met shortly after the arrest of Sacco and Vanzetti to plan their defense, told his son that "everyone [in the anarchist inner circle] knew that Sacco was guilty and that Vanzetti was innocent as far as the actual participation in killing.

Months before he died, the distinguished jurist Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr. District Court in Massachusetts, wrote to Russell stating, "I myself am persuaded by your writings that Sacco was guilty.

In that conversation, in response to Sinclair's request for the truth, Moore stated that both Sacco and Vanzetti were in fact guilty, and that Moore had fabricated their alibis in an attempt to avoid a guilty verdict.

The Los Angeles Times interprets subsequent letters as indicating that, to avoid loss of sales to his radical readership, particularly abroad, and due to fears for his own safety, Sinclair didn't change the premise of his novel in that respect.

In , as the 50th anniversary of the executions approached, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis asked the Office of the Governor's Legal Counsel to report on "whether there are substantial grounds for believing—at least in the light of the legal standards of today—that Sacco and Vanzetti were unfairly convicted and executed" and to recommend appropriate action.

It found the judge's charge to the jury troubling for the way it emphasized the defendants' behavior at the time of their arrest and highlighted certain physical evidence that was later called into question.

Neither did he assert their innocence. A memorial committee tried to present a plaster cast executed in by Gutzon Borglum , the sculptor of Mount Rushmore , to Massachusetts governors and Boston mayors in , , and without success.

The city's acceptance of this piece of artwork is not intended to reopen debate about the guilt or innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti," Menino said.

The event occasioned a renewed debate about the fairness of the trial in the editorial pages of the Boston Herald. A mosaic mural portraying the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti is installed on the main campus of Syracuse University.

In Braintree, Massachusetts on the corner of French Avenue and Pearl Street, a memorial marks the site of the murders. The memorial has two exhibits.

The first is a weatherproof poster that discusses the crime and the subsequent trial. The second exhibit is a metal plaque that memorializes the victims of the crime.

Many sites in the former USSR are named after "Sacco and Vanzetti": for example, a beer production facility in Moscow , [] a kolkhoz in Donetsk region, Ukraine ; and a street and an apartment complex in Yekaterinburg.

In , as part of an Eagle Scout project, a plaque was placed outside of Norfolk Superior Court commemorating the trial. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nor did he hear the agents running into his room to find out what had happened; he was snoring loudly when they entered. American Bar Association Journal.

After convictions for murder, followed by a lengthy legal battle to clear their names, their executions were met with mass protests across America and Europe.

Some aspects of the Sacco and Vanzetti case would not seem out of place in modern society. The two men were portrayed as dangerous foreigners.

They were both members of anarchist groups and faced trial at a time when political radicals engaged in brutal and dramatic acts of violence, including a terrorist bombing on Wall Street.

Both men had avoided military service in World War I, at one point escaping the draft by going to Mexico.

Their long legal battle began after a violent and deadly payroll robbery on a Massachusetts street in the spring of The crime seemed to be a common robbery that didn't have anything to do with radical politics.

But when a police investigation led to Sacco and Vanzetti, their radical political history seemed to make them likely suspects. Donors came forward to assist them with hiring competent legal help.

Following their conviction, protests against the U. A bomb was delivered to the American ambassador to Paris. In the U.

The demand that Sacco and Vanzetti be cleared continued for years as the men sat in prison. Nine decades after their deaths, the Sacco and Vanzetti case remains a disturbing episode in American history.

One victim died immediately and the other died the next day. It seemed to be the work of a brazen stick-up gang, not a crime that would turn into a prolonged political and social drama.

The robbery occurred on April 15, , on a street of a Boston suburb, South Braintree, Massachusetts. The paymaster of a local shoe company carried a box of cash that was divided up into pay envelopes to be distributed to workers.

The paymaster, along with an accompanying guard, was intercepted by two men who drew guns. The robbers shot the paymaster and the guard, grabbed the cash box, and quickly jumped into a getaway car driven by an accomplice.

The car was said to be holding other passengers. The robbers managed to drive off and disappear. The getaway car was later found abandoned in a nearby woods.

Sacco and Vanzetti were both born in Italy and, coincidentally, both arrived in America in Nicola Sacco, who settled in Massachusetts, got into a training program for shoemakers and became a highly skilled worker with a good job in a shoe factory.

He married, and had a young son at the time of his arrest. Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who arrived in New York, had a more difficult time in his new country.

He struggled to find work and had a succession of menial jobs before becoming a fish peddler in the Boston area. The two men met at some point through their interest in radical political causes.

Both became exposed to anarchist handbills and newspapers during a time when labor unrest led to very contentious strikes across America.

In New England, strikes at factories and mills turned into a radical cause and both men became involved with the anarchist movement.

When the U. Both Sacco and Vanzetti, along with other anarchists, traveled to Mexico to avoid serving in the military.

In line with anarchist literature of the day, they claimed the war was unjust and was really motivated by business interests.

The two men escaped prosecution for avoiding the draft. They remained interested in the anarchist cause just as the "Red Scare" gripped the country.

Sacco and Vanzetti were not the original suspects in the robbery case. The two men happened to be with the suspect when he went to retrieve a car the police had linked to the case.

On the night of May 5, , the two men were riding a streetcar after visiting a garage with two friends. Police, tracking the men who had been to the garage after receiving a tip, boarded the streetcar and arrested Sacco and Vanzetti on a vague charge of being "suspicious characters.
