Biography

Chester Seltzer, who wrote under the name Amado Muro, was a writer and World War II conscientious objector who served federal prison time for resisting military induction.

Case

Charges: Refusal of military induction on conscientious grounds
Sentence: Published accounts confirm federal imprisonment during World War II. EBSCO reports two jailings; Southern Exposure describes three years served without resolving individual episodes. This case is a provisional summary of the draft-refusal imprisonment, not two inferred continuous terms. Individual sentences and custody endpoints remain unresolved.
