On 14 July, 1921, Italian born anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Mass. of murdering a shoe-company paymaster and his guard.  This was another example of people being convicted on their politics, not on evidence of their guilt.  Sacco and Vanzetti were executed 6 years later in 1927.
