Biography
Page 1 identifies James Garfield with Louis Campbell and Arthur Williams as four Black Harlem League of Struggle for Negro Rights activists arrested in spring 1931 on a robbery accusation by UNIA leader General Grant, involving a watch allegedly stolen from his room. The newspaper attributes the prosecution to an organizational conflict and calls it a frame-up; that remains its allegation. It announces a November 12 General Sessions hearing, still prospective, and ILD defense. This George Brown is distinct from the Pittsburgh eviction defendant and the later hijacking defendant.
