Biography
Clarence Townsend is individually listed among eight Gastonia textile-strike defendants already out on bonds in the July 28, 1929 dispatch. Fifteen others are separately listed as still in Gaston County Jail. This establishes earlier actual detention and completed bail release, but neither an individual arrest or discharge day, final verdict nor total custody. Printed initials are not expanded.
