Biography
Jack Perilla was arrested by the Birmingham Red Squad and, according to the May 12 report, held for three days for investigation without a charge. The paper says he and Communist organizer Jack Barton were released on bond the previous week and describes police threats. It does not give exact arrest or discharge days.
