Biography

Robert Wilson was from St. Maries, Idaho. Robert Wilson received a one- to ten-year prison sentence.

The March 1920 One Big Union Monthly roster, printed as WILSON, ROBERT, reports: Arrested St. Maries, Idaho, March 16 , 1918 . Criminal syndicalism . Convicted . Sentenced to 1 to 10 years . Boise State penitentiary . The roster is a contemporary labor-defense account. Its indictment, bail and imposed-term information is kept distinct from actual admission/release and complete time served; no missing gate date is inferred.

White’s May 1918 St. Maries mass-trial account reports twelve criminal-syndicalism defendants arriving at Idaho State Penitentiary on June 7, 1918. Note 134 individually names Robert Wilson among these twelve and cites their inmate records. This fills a missing physical prison-arrival day, distinct from verdict and sentencing, without assuming the start of all earlier jail custody or a complete term served.
