Biography
Page 3 identifies twenty-two-year-old ILD investigator Helen Mays as beaten with attorney Bernard Ades and Oscar Robawsky at Snow Hill on Tuesday, November 3, 1931 while defending Orphan Jones. Officials allegedly refused protection and telephone access; Mays was searched, a pistol found in her handbag and a carrying-firearms warrant sworn by the mayor. She was actually released on $500 bond. The report describes continuing mob threats, blows to the head and eventual police-assisted departure. The article attributes official complicity; it supplies no conviction or measured custody total. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1931/v08-n268-NY-nov-07-1931-DW-LOC.pdf
Page 2 revisits the Snow Hill mob attack while defending Orphan Jones, printing Robovsky/Rabovsky variants for Oscar. It describes Mays's bruised arms/back, Ades's head injuries and Robovsky's internal eye bleeding. It reports Ades's continuing legal effort to obtain client access and an ILD demand to dismiss Mays's firearm charge. A demand for dismissal is not a granted dismissal; the same assault is not turned into another arrest or sentence.
