Sacco was next and walked quietly to the electric chair , then shouted "Viva l'anarchia! Elliott , the state electrician. 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 Aspettando 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.
Police blocked the route, which passed the State House, and at one point mourners and the police clashed. 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 are in Torremaggiore, the town of his birth, 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 Sacco and Vanzetti were condemned to death.
Three months later, bombs exploded in the New York subway, in a Philadelphia church, and at the home of the mayor of Baltimore. One of the jurors in the Dedham trial had his house bombed, throwing him and his family from their beds.
Less than a year after the executions, a bomb destroyed the front porch of the home of executioner Robert Elliott. As late as , Judge Thayer's home was wrecked and his wife and housekeeper injured in a bomb blast. 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. 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 the fall of , Upton Sinclair published his novel Boston , an indictment of the American judicial system that took the case, especially Vanzetti's life and writings, as its focus, mixing fictional characters with actual participants in the trials.
Though his portrait of Vanzetti was entirely sympathetic, he 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. 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 in recommendations in and Finally, in the language it had proposed was adopted and the SJC has since that time 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.
Many historians, [ who? Some critics [ ] felt that the authorities and jurors were influenced by strong anti-Italian prejudice and prejudice against immigrants widely held at the time, especially in New England. Against charges of racism and racial prejudice, others pointed out [ ] that both men were known anarchist members of a militant organization, members of which had been conducting a violent campaign of bombing and attempted assassinations, acts condemned by most Americans of all backgrounds.
Others believe [ ] [ ] that the government was really prosecuting Sacco and Vanzetti for the robbery-murders as a convenient excuse 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. Faced with a secretive underground group whose members resisted interrogation and believed in their cause, Federal and local officials using conventional law enforcement tactics had been repeatedly stymied in their efforts to identify all members of the group or to collect enough evidence for a prosecution.
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. Both The Nation and The New Republic refused to publish Eastman's revelation, which Eastman said occurred after he pressed Tresca for the truth about the two men's involvement in the shooting.
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 men 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, to escape detection and arrest for militant and seditious activities in the United States.
However, a later 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 using Sacco's Colt automatic. 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.
Following the hearing, Van Amburgh kept Sacco's gun in his house where it remained until the Boston Globe did an expose in Hamilton in which he removed the original barrel from Sacco's. It has been alleged that this dismantling and the exchange of barrels between Hamilton's two.
The central problem with these charges is that the evidence tying Sacco's gun to the South Braintree murders was based not only on the. Critics of the prosecution's evidence emphasize that while four bullets were recovered from Berardelli, the slain guard, only one bullet was linked to Sacco's pistol, the other three bullets were found to have been fired from a.
Several witnesses insisted that one gunman fired four bullets into Berardelli, which might have been the man wielding the. He put four bullets into him. The Lowell Commission dismissed this claim as desperate. One theory is that another gunman, perhaps Mario Buda, must have been involved along with Sacco, and that this unknown gunman used a.
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 that 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.
Russell had originally written about the case, arguing that Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent, but further research led him to write a book, asserting that Sacco was, in fact, guilty. Russell used the Gambera revelation as the basis of a new book in , in which he claims that the case is "solved," and presents his view that Sacco was one of the shooters, while Vanzetti was an accessory after the fact. While Russell's book was praised, even by those who disagreed with his conclusion, for being balanced and well-reasoned, his book was much more negatively received.
In the latter, the accessory after the fact legal theory is incorrect: Massachusetts law, now and at the time of the crime, allowed both men to be charged as joint principals in a robbery-homicide, for which they were convicted; from a legal standpoint, it does not matter how many shots, or even if , Vanzetti fired, to establish his legal culpability for the robbery and murders.
This distinction is a source of much confusion to laymen, and of most claims that Vanzetti was "innocent" or had no "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 , 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 attempted 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.
There are many sites in the former USSR named after "Sacco and Vanzetti", for example a beer production facility in Moscow , [ ] a kolkhoz in Donetsk region, Ukraine , and an apartment complex in Yekaterinburg. This entry is from Wikipedia, the leading user-contributed encyclopedia.
