Biography
Stanley Glass, 22, secretary of the West Virginia Unemployed Leagues, faced prosecution under the Redman Act for a speech supporting the August 1934 strike at the Baldwin Shovel Plant in Parkersburg, a Weirton Steel subsidiary. Page 3 gives the charge as conspiracy to weaken the government and says the grand jury was to meet January 28. The reported ten-year term was possible exposure, not a sentence. That January article alone did not establish custody; the earlier December 29 report cited below now documents the October-November 1934 jail episode.

The December 29, 1934 New Militant supplies the actual custody evidence absent from the later grand-jury notice: Glass was arrested October 26 on an August 27 warrant, taken to Parkersburg and held until release on $2,000 bail November 3. The interval is eight elapsed calendar days. The article reports prolonged interrogation and a planned January 4 grand-jury appearance; the later January 21 report instead planned January 28. Neither planned date establishes an indictment or final disposition, and the possible ten years was not an imposed sentence. Source: https://www.themilitant.com/1934/0751/NM0103.pdf#page=4
