Angelo Cappelo was prosecuted during the 1930 unemployment protests in New York. In Rochester, he was arrested at the Broadway Auditorium for displaying a sign demanding work or wages and held on $500 bail under a city ordinance.
The Militant, March 1, 1930, page 5: The Rochester, New York brief says Cappelo was arrested at Broadway Auditorium for posting a sign demanding work or wages and held for $500 bail. It states the ancient city ordinance allowed a maximum one-year jail term. That statutory maximum is not an imposed sentence, bail set is not release, and the two other arrested open-air demonstrators are unnamed. No exact arrest day or completed custody duration is supplied. Source: https://www.themilitant.com/1930/0309/MIL0309.pdf
