Biography

Stephen Duhan was a farmer in the Stony Hill district of Bethel, Connecticut. A January 4 dispatch printed January 5, 1933 reported him confined in Danbury Jail for debt since August 25, while his family and horse faced starvation. The paper treated the imprisonment as part of the pressure on indebted farmers. The brief does not print the year of August 25, the debt amount, a sentence, or a release date.
