Biography

Vecellio’s signed April 11, 1920 letter and accompanying roster describe his own Idaho bull-pen imprisonment in 1917, Eureka detention and immediate rearrest in 1918, and a separate Van Voorhis detention in 1919. The three episodes remain distinct; no initial is expanded and no lifetime actual total is inferred.
