C. C. Nesbitt

C. C. Nesbitt was one of the Oklahoma City unemployed workers convicted under a federal statute after a 1934 relief demonstration demanding food, and imprisoned for a year — the men at Leavenworth and the women at the federal women's prison at Alderson.

The Daily Worker reported the filing of the Oklahoma relief-demonstration defendants’ appeal on March 4, 1935, with J. O. Cooke and Stanley Beldon named as counsel. The report described the convictions as arising from the preceding May demonstration. Its stated prison terms are imposed sentences, not newly established actual service; the appeal-funding deadlines were prospective.
