Biography

Edward B. Woolf was beaten and expelled from Santa Rosa by vigilantes in 1935. The June 11, 1936 dispatch describes his wish to return home and his demand that Attorney General U. S. Webb prosecute those responsible before the September limitation deadline. The report documents political coercion and forced removal, but does not give an exact seizure or release day, judicial conviction or complete custody total. He is not merged with Julius Woolf.
