A trial in Judge Given’s court was scheduled for Friday morning. The page image confirms Thorp, rather than the corrupted OCR name. No statutory count, arrest day, physical discharge, verdict or duration is supplied. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1934/v11-n172-jul-19-1934-DW-LOC.pdf
