Biography

Sol Erenberg was named with Frank Spector as having actually been arrested earlier in the Los Angeles political-police campaign described on October 18, 1928. Those arrests precede the newly reported headquarters raid; no individual dates or measured confinement are supplied.

The August 2 Los Angeles account places his actual arrest at the previous day’s Plaza antiwar demonstration and describes an initial criminal-syndicalism accusation changed to a misdemeanor. The reference to Georgia concerns the local receiving station, not a transfer to the state of Georgia. No actual discharge or complete term is printed.
