Biography

Frank Carone was an unemployed Italian worker in Utica, New York who had lost an arm. He was prosecuted with Peter Kraus, John Della Monica, Mike Charles and Rocco Volpe following a demonstration against hunger. The defendants were convicted after a December 1932 trial before Judge Hazard. Carone received a one-year prison sentence. The International Labor Defense organized an appeal, and Carone was released by May 1934.
