Biography

Sam Logan was taken into custody while attending a meeting in a Communist Party hall in Chicago. The 1920 congressional case summary attributes this arrest account to a Justice Department agent and records conflicting statements about membership in the fourth Russian branch. January 2 dates a reported statement, not a separately proven arrest day; six months describes alleged membership, not imprisonment. Officials recommended deportation, but the warrant was canceled April 1. Physical release and complete actual custody duration remain unknown.
