Are there other trials, not related to the Sacco-Vanzetti case, that have a similar theme: imprisoned/executed for anti-immigrant, anti-anarchist or anti-communist feelings in society, and not really given a fair trial? And not the Sweet Trial, as he was acquitted.Are there early 1900's cases similar to the Sacco-Vanzetti case?
Yes, there were many similar cases:

Hundreds of people were jailed or deported. Many were assassinated without trial. Earlier, in 1915, Joe Hill was framed and executed. In 1913, the Colorodo State Guard and the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency massacred the families of striking workers in Ludlow Colorado.
