Biography
The November 21 report names him as a defendant in the prosecution over policeman R. P. Smith’s death at Seventh Street and Avenue A. It reports union witnesses placing him at Union Square instead and announces the homicide-court trial. Those are contemporary defense allegations; exact custody endpoints and completed duration are unreported. Daily Worker, November 21, 1932, original PDF page 1.
