Biography

George Kopp was from St. Maries, Idaho. George Kopp received a one- to ten-year prison sentence.

The March 1920 One Big Union Monthly prisoner roster, under the printed name KOPP , GEORGE, reports: Arrested St. Maries , Idaho , March 16 , 1918 . Criminal syndicalism . Sentenced June 4, 1918 , to 6 months to 10 years . Boise state penitentiary . This is the contemporary labor organization’s account. Indictment, bail and imposed sentence are distinguished from physical admission, actual release and complete time served; no missing custody endpoint is inferred.

White’s May 1918 St. Maries mass-trial account reports twelve criminal-syndicalism defendants arriving at Idaho State Penitentiary on June 7, 1918. Note 134 individually names George Kopp among these twelve and cites their inmate records. This fills a missing physical prison-arrival day, distinct from verdict and sentencing, without assuming the start of all earlier jail custody or a complete term served.
