The General Defense Committee’s “Defense News” on printed page 53 reports Charles L. Anderson among three men who had recently secured release from the Idaho State Penitentiary through parole or expiration of sentence. The item does not distinguish which mechanism applied to each man, give an exact physical-release date, or establish a complete term served.
White quotes Idaho prisoner Charles Anderson’s clemency statement supporting lawful labor organization to improve working conditions. This is distinct from federal Wichita defendant C.W. Anderson; it gives no exact release day.
