Biography

John White was a defendant in the Bulger Block coal-strike prosecution in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The November 20 dispatch reports a fifteen-day sentence, one-dollar fine and costs for the group charged with assault and battery and riot. No exact arrest, admission, sentence day or physical release is given. This record is qualified by case because the source does not establish whether this miner was the same person as the existing Ohio World War I defendant named John White.
