Biography

Harry Moskowitz, a former Gran Laundry Service employee, was jailed for contempt after breaching an injunction against soliciting his former customers. The July 10, 1936 report says he was released the previous day by order of Supreme Court Justice Faber in Jamaica after his wife and children explained their destitution and the company president relented. This was labor-related injunction confinement; exact intake and complete duration are unprinted.
