Biography

Pete Garcia, vice-president of the San Francisco Ship Scalers Union, was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to do great bodily harm during the 1935 union dispute. A press-time bulletin reports a jury acquittal. Three minutes is the stated jury deliberation, not his time in custody, and the issue does not establish the exact arrest or physical release day.
