Biography
Robert Connellan was secretary of the IWW local in Stockton, California. He was convicted at the mass IWW trial in Sacramento and sentenced to ten years in prison. He served at Leavenworth Penitentiary from July 1918.
The March1922 official report lists Robert Connellan in List1 of convicted prisoners or parolees. The government entry reports Conspiracy and violating the espionage act, etc. a sentence of January 17, 1919, 10 years, Leavenworth.. Imposed terms, projected term-expiration dates, parole eligibility and intervals on bond are different measures; none is entered as a complete actual custody total. This attributed government entry is retained alongside the independently established individual chronology. [PDF6]
