Biography

The San Pedro dispatch dated July 5, 1934 identifies Manuel Flores as a picket jailed on an accusation of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill; the paper alleges he was beaten. It says the hall raid occurred yesterday and identifies International Labor Defense attorney Grover Johnson as defending the seven cases. The contemporary allegations and spelling are retained; no final disposition, exact physical discharge or measured duration is supplied.
