Biography

Fred W. Thompson’s memoir identifies a fellow IWW defendant only as Dawes. After Thompson’s first trial ended with a hung jury, Dawes was tried with him in Marysville, convicted of criminal syndicalism and taken with him to San Quentin on November 7, 1923. His given name and final release are not supplied. The third defendant was acquitted and is unnamed.
