Eleven anti-fascist workers were | arrested shortly after six o’clock last} night when 10 members of the bomb/| squad raided the offices of Tl Mar-| tello and Il Nuovo Mondo, Italian) newspapers located on East 10th St. The office of Il Nuovo Mondo, 81} | East 10th St., was entered first. They | asked for the manager and when in- formed that he was not in they asked for V. Vacirca, the editor. When the} detectives were told that he also was| out, they arrested L, D’Armico, al clerk and left. | Entering the office of Il Martello, | in the next building they arrested everyone who was present except one | man whom they allowed to remain and take care of the office. Those taken into custody were C. Cancilliero of Il Nuova Mondo, who was there on| an errand, Luigi Quintiliano, Mario Tresca, M. Buzzi, Antonio Aloia, Jo- seph Altieri and three others. A short time after the raid a man entered the office of Il Nuvo Mondo and asked for Vacirca. When asked what he wanted he said that “It is very important.” Refusing to devulge his business he left hastily. It is be- lieved that he was a detective trying to trap Vacirca. | Isaac Shorr, of 41 Union Square, is ; Were spread that they were being 7 } j * * ™ WITNESSES ARE HEARD BY FULLER Boston Reporter Tells! of Thayer Prejudice BOSTON, July 11.—Attorney Will-; iam G.
