(time-period: 1920s) two Italian laborers and anarchists who were put on trial and found guilty of armed robbery and murder of a pay-clerk and security guard. the importance of this trial was that they were basically accused of the fact that they were Italians, the evidence was not enough to prove they were actually the ones that robbed/murdered, but the judge was already bias towards them, and found them guilty. It was really more of a matter of because they were immigrants, and everyone at the time really disliked immigrants because they felt they were getting all the jobs, it was really more about discrimination and prejudice.
