Biography

Ignacio Capuani was an organizer of unemployed workers in Westchester County, New York. The Daily Worker of December 29, 1932, page 1, reports in a White Plains dispatch dated December 28 that Ignacio Capuani and Erwin Wagner had appeared there the previous day to serve the remainder of 30-day sentences for unlawful assembly. The prosecution arose from leading jobless workers in relief demands in Yonkers on July 18, 1932. The article does not establish the original arrest or sentencing day, the time previously served or eventual release day.
