Title	Vanzetti, Bartolomeo 1927-04-15
Abstract	Letter to Theodore Debs, 04/15/1927. Says that it is a consolation to both him and Nicola Sacco that Theodore Debs is still alive and supporting them. Expresses the hope that Theodore Debs' optimistic attitude will prove right. Informs Theodore Debs that his and Nicola Sacco's fate has been left to perjurers, a hostile jury, and a bunch of reactionaries. Tells Theodore Debs that the powers that be fear a new trial because of the crimes committed in framing him and Nicola Sacco. Says that as far as the capitalist courts are concerned he and Nicola Sacco are dispatched. Remarks that their only hope lies in the executive power of the Governor. Writes that he does not want to ask for a pardon because neither he nor Nicola Sacco are guilty. Tells Theodore Debs that he and Nicola Sacco expect to "burn" towards the middle of next July. Says that the only reason why they are still alive is because of the world-wide protest, especially in Europe and Latin America, against the wretchedness of their persecutors. Informs Theodore Debs that only the people and workers of America can save him and Nicola Sacco. Assures Theodore Debs that if Eugene V. Debs were alive they would have been freed by now. Writes that although the American proletariat has done much on their behalf, the workers of America have been unable to free their hostages, including he and Nicola Sacco, Eugene V. Debs, Tom Mooney, Warren Billings, and the imprisoned members of the Industrial Workers of the World. Mentions that "professional" criminals get it much better in court than the "champions of the working class" who are left in prison to die. Writes that his and Nicola Sacco's case is part of the larger struggle between capital and labor. Remarks that in this case capital has been victorious. Says that there is no need for Theodore Debs to send him and Nicola Sacco money. Tells Theodore Debs that they have everything that they need.
