Biography
Adolf Wisnesski was a striker in the 1926 Passaic, New Jersey textile strike who was accused in the strike's "bomb frame-up" and sentenced to not less than 5 nor more than 20 years in a New Jersey prison — one of some eight men imprisoned in the frame-up that followed the United Front Committee walkout led by Albert Weisbord.
The January 28, 1927 Passaic report identifies this existing bomb-case defendant among five still held at Hackensack awaiting trial under $15,000 bail each. The five were not among the six sentenced that afternoon. This corroborates actual pretrial detention without replacing the later individual disposition or copying the other cohort’s parole date.
