The public has only four more days to wait to see the contents of the University's files on the Sacco and Vanzetti trial.
Press packets summarizing the contents of the papers will be distributed at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Harvard News Office said yesterday. The Sacco and Vanzetti papers will also be available on microfilm, the spokesman added.

Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for murder in 1927, but many believe their anarchist beliefs led to their conviction.
