Biography
John Rosefield was one of the defendants actually arrested in Detroit on February 6, 1940, in the federal prosecution alleging conspiracy to enlist volunteers for the Spanish Loyalist forces. The official investigation printed in the Congressional Record lists 2 indictments and bail of $2,500. He posted bond that afternoon and was released; dismissal of the charges on February 16 was a later legal event, not his physical discharge date. His name also appears as Rosfeld in the physician testimony; the official roster prints John Rosefield. The report by Henry A. Schweinhaut defended the agents, while Senator Norris and the printed defendant statements disputed their treatment; these are differing attributed accounts, not an uncontested finding about all alleged mistreatment.
