Webster Thayer

Webster Thayer (July 7, 1857 – April 18, 1933) was a judge of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, USA, best known as the trial judge in the Sacco and Vanzetti case.
==Background==
Thayer was born in Blackstone, Massachusetts, on July 7, 1857. He attended Worcester Academy and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1880 where he captained the baseball and football teams. He learned law through an apprenticeship rather than by attending law school and was admitted to the bar in 1882. He enjoyed a modest career in local politics, first as a Democrat and later as a Republican. He was appointed a judge of the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Dedham 1917.〔''New York Times'': ("Judge Thayer Dies in Boston at 75" ), ''New York imes'', April 19, 1933.

In 1920, Thayer gave a speech to new American citizens decrying Bolshevism and anarchism's threat to American institutions. He supported the suppression of radical speech and rebuked a jury that failed to return a conviction because they believed that an overt act was required rather than speech alone.〔Bruce Watson, ''Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, the Murders, and the Judgment of Mankind'' (NY: Viking Press, 2007), 116–8; Herbert B.
