April 23, 1927 - This is the photo that Nicola Sacco says he gave
to the Italian Consul in Boston
the afternoon of the Braintree
murder 7 years ago. The Consul verified his story by applying for
a
passport to Italy at the time. This photo will be submitted with
other new evidence to get
a new trial review. The photo shows Nicola
Sacco with his wife and son, Dante.
