The Chicago dispatch by Milton Howard, dated December 1, 1935, names Henry Coe, Mrs. Mary Casey, Mrs. Mary Heffer, H. Floris and Harry Martin as arrested and now in jail awaiting release on payment of $100 cash bail. H. Floris is individually included in this explicit confinement list. The first initial is retained exactly; no full first name or identity connection is invented. December 1 is a dispatch/status date, not a separately documented arrest or admission date. Bail set is not proof that bail was paid. No release date, charge, verdict, sentence, birth or death date, race, gender or organizational membership is inferred.
