Biography
James Lacy was arrested in a hall raid during the 1934 crackdown on California maritime strikers and their supporters. Officers Hache and Cole beat him and tore hair from his head. He was arrested and beaten again, held for three days, and released without charges.
The reproduced ILD brutality report names Lacy beaten after a hall raid by officers Hache and Cole, hair torn out, arrested and beaten again, then held three days and released without charge. The report corroborates actual three-day detention but gives no precise endpoints for separate counting of the earlier encounter.
