Biography
Mrs. Grant, whose given name is not supplied, was a mother of four and relief organizer in Provo, Utah. A worker-correspondent report in the June 3, 1935 Daily Worker, page 4, describes her arrest and a thirty-day prison sentence for assault and battery, followed by release on $6,000 bond. It says the dispute began about two months earlier when she refused to leave a relief office until a starving widow received food, and struck a deputized man who tried to remove her. The writer calls the prosecution a frame-up connected with relief cuts and says she defended herself in court. The earlier relief-office confrontation itself did not result in immediate arrest. Exact arrest and sentence days and final appellate outcome are unreported; thirty days is the imposed term, not proved time served.
