Biography
Hugh Wiley was one of seventeen Sisseton farmers actually jailed on rioting charges after a United Farmers League delegation restored Henry Nieland to his foreclosed farm. The article explicitly says all seventeen were subsequently out on bail raised by the league. The article says he had six children. A threatened minimum ten-year sentence is not a conviction or completed term; exact custody dates and duration are not supplied. Labor Defender, April 1934, original PDF page 6.
