Biography

The Ohio section individually identifies John Hahn among defendants convicted of conspiracy to violate the Selective Service Act by urging other people to refuse registration. It reports six months and $150 and costs at Hamilton City Jail and an appeal to the U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals. Printed indictment date April30,1917 may be an error because it precedes the statute; no actual admission, final release or served total is inferred.
