Biography

Individually named among the Juneau riot defendants singled out by prosecutors on page 6. Unrelated to the Civil War physician John T. Gilmer. The issue reports the riot prosecution arising from the June 24, 1935 strike confrontation and a December 14 acquittal after five weeks of trial. The caption’s twenty-five versus the article’s twenty-four is unresolved; the account documents the existing group’s liberation but supplies no individual intake or exact physical discharge day. No first name is inferred where unprinted. Source: https://archive.ilwu.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/19351227.pdf#page=6
