Biography
Arthur Hazelton was prosecuted after the April 6, 1934 demonstration by Civil Works Administration workers in Minneapolis. Police broke up the relief protest, and thirty-three participants were tried. Hazelton was accused of throwing rocks. On May 4, Municipal Judge Clyde R. White sentenced him to ninety days in the workhouse, the longest sentence imposed in the case. The International Labor Defense obtained a stay until May 14 and sought a new trial.
The May 8, 1934 Daily Worker reports a 90-day workhouse sentence imposed in the Minneapolis CWA demonstration prosecution. The report dates the demonstration April 6, the sentencing Friday (May 4), and the ILD stay until May 14 while a new trial was sought. It names Judge Clyde R. White. A stayed nominal sentence is not itself proof of the amount served. The source spells Arvo Halberg for Gus Hall, Leo Tuuri, Arthur Hazelton, George Payne and Sam K. Daviss; these name forms are preserved within the established identities. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1934/v11-n110-may-08-1934-DW-LOC.pdf#page=3
The Minneapolis CWA trial report individually gives Arthur Hazelton ninety days, with a ten-day stay until May 14 pending a new-trial motion. This is an imposed term, not completed service.
