Only a slight wound was infli The alienists on March 27, 192: clared him sane, and he was recom- mitted to the Dedham jail. In December. 1924, the question of Vanzetti’s sanity was brought up. In January, 1925, he was taken to the Bridgwater state hospital for observation. He -was found sane in April of that year and was returned to the state prison.
