Biography
Archie Crawford was a nineteen-year-old jailed during the San Francisco general-strike crackdown in 1934. He told the judge that he was receiving medical treatment and asked to be released so he could continue it. The request was refused, and he was sentenced to thirty days in jail. He repeatedly asked to see a doctor while confined, but received no treatment and his condition worsened.
The report identifies the nineteen-year-old who was sentenced to thirty days and denied requested medical attention in jail despite repeated pleas. Thirty days is the imposed term; the issue does not prove the complete sentence served or supply an exact discharge.
