Biography
Alonzo Ansell was arrested in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, May 15, 1936 while distributing leaflets announcing an American Workers Alliance meeting. He was charged with distributing leaflets without a license. Brought before Judge Lyla Neunfelt, he demanded and was granted a trial. Despite the headline 'Wins Court Trial,' the text establishes the right to a trial, not an acquittal, discharge or prison sentence.
