Description: THE PASSION OF SACCO AND VANZETTI A New England Legend BY HOWARD FAST Prologue On the 15th of April, in the year 1920, a carefully planned and ruthlessly executed payroll robbery occurred in the town of South Braintree, Massachusetts. In the course of this robbery, a paymaster and a payroll guard were killed by the bandits. Subsequently, two men, Nicola. Sacco, a shoe worker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, one-time baker and kiln worker, and now a fish peddler, were arrested and charged with this robbery and murder. They were brought to trial in Dedham, Massachusetts, for murder, and found guilty by the jury which heard the case. Under Massachusetts law, pleas are heard and motions are presented in such a case before the judge passes sen-tence. In this, the Sacco and Vanzetti Case, such pleas and motions stretched through a period of seven years. Not until April 9, 1927, did the presiding judge in the case sentence the two men to death, and then he ordered that such sentence should be carried out on the 10th of July, 1927. However, the execution of this sentence was delayed, for one reason or another, until the 22nd of August, 1927.
