Biography
Edward S. Horn was a Michigan-born teamster living in Plains, Montana. He was convicted of sedition for remarks about the American government and the war. An earlier criminal-syndicalism charge was replaced with a sedition charge. He was imprisoned at Deer Lodge and released on November 16, 1919.
The original Montana State Prison intake form lists an age of 35, birth in Michigan, and occupation as teamster. It records actual receipt at Deer Lodge on 1918-06-24 and sentencing on 1918-06-22 in the state sedition case. The admission is distinguished from an earlier arrest, and the printed sentence is distinguished from actual service; no physical discharge is supplied. It includes named frontal and profile photographs. Source: https://clcowgill.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/a-m.pdf#page=17
