Joseph Caruso was charged with the murder and Ettor and Giovannitti were both arrested as accomplices although at the time of the crime they were both giving speeches several miles away. Eventually all three were acquitted. One of the few vintage buttons to carry the famous "I.W.W." initials. Scarce.
