14 July 1921: Nicola Sacco & Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted of mudering Parmenter & Berardelli during the April 1920 robbery; Vanzetti had been arrested in possession of Berardelli's revolver & told widely varying lies to explain it away; Sacco was caught in several lies; both gave rambling anarchist diatribes when testifying on the stand; their case did not become a cause célèbre until after the trial.
