Biography
Individually named in the caption identifying the eight Modesto maritime defendants in this union history. The report describes the April 20, 1935 tanker-strike arrest outside Patterson, county-jail detention, trial and conviction only on reckless and malicious dynamite possession. It says conspiracy and blackjack counts resulted in acquittal, another count was dismissed, and the prison terms ranged from six months to five years. Defendants alleged planted evidence and the union described a frame-up; those are attributed claims. The source does not identify his individual release or precise sentence.
