Biography

One of the four remaining defendants prosecuted following the March 26, 1932 anti-war demonstration at the Japanese Embassy in Washington, targeted by police clubbing and subsequent assault accusations. The April 7 continuation says Castrow’s trial was postponed to April 27 with Joan Hardy. The postponement does not establish a verdict or continuous jail custody through the scheduled date. Exact discharge and total detention remain unknown. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1932/v09-n084-NY-apr-08-1932-DW-LOC.pdf#page=3
