The Sacco-Vanzetti case · the trial judge rules on the new-trial motion
As printed: SACCO-VANZETTI APPEAL IS DENIED
ContextNicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Italian-born anarchists, were convicted in 1921 of murdering a paymaster and a guard in a payroll holdup at South Braintree, Mass., the year before; the case has drawn protest meetings in America and Europe. A motion for a new trial on newly discovered evidence is heard by the same judge who presided at the original trial, Webster Thayer.
