Biography

Floyed E. Neil was jailed in Bellingham for posting Communist literature. The Daily Worker of November 15, 1932 reports that Richard Sinclair and Floyed E. Neil pleaded not guilty to vagrancy and had bail set at $100 each. A workers' committee persuaded Police Judge Ralph O. Olson to accept property bond instead of cash; the report does not establish that either defendant was actually released. The source does not establish unreported custody endpoints or total time actually served.
