Biography
Lendrum (Milwaukee physician, 1940) was a physician arrested in Milwaukee on February 6, 1940, in the federal prosecution alleging recruitment for the Spanish Loyalist forces. The official investigation printed in the Congressional Record states that he appeared before a commissioner at 2 p.m., was held overnight when unable to supply $5,000 bail, and posted the required amount the following afternoon. The proceedings were dismissed February 16. His first name is not supplied; no total duration beyond the explicitly reported overnight detention is inferred. 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.
