The source describes threats and violence against arrested croppers but does not establish his individual arrest date, formal charge, sentence or eventual release.
The December 26, 1932 Daily Worker places Andrew Cobb in Wetumpka County Jail during the sharecroppers’ defense campaign. This is an individually named custody location, without an exact initial arrest, transfer or discharge day. Source: https://www.marxists.org/archive/herndon/1932/dec-26-1932-DW.pdf#page=3
