Biography
T. H. Stone was secretary of the Unemployed Council in Richmond, Virginia. The Daily Worker of December 23, 1932, page 1, reports that he was arrested while leading a delegation of 75 people seeking relief for 25 unemployed families. Its Richmond dispatch is dated December 22. The article does not establish the exact arrest day, formal charge, sentence or eventual release.
The November 3, 1933 Daily Worker reports that the Richmond International Labor Defense organizer was dragged to jail while assisting 125 striking longshoremen. Police accused him of intervening with officers in the discharge of their duty, and a hearing before Judge Haddon was scheduled for Friday. This is distinct from his earlier relief-delegation prosecution; the issue supplies no exact physical discharge.

Page 3's December 29 Richmond dispatch reports Stone arrested in the preceding Saturday hunger march and charged with resisting arrest. Before a packed courtroom he denounced police obstruction of the workers' relief ordinance. Judge Haddon dismissed the cases after evidence concerning Captain Holt and Policeman Johnson. The headline explicitly reports release, with no exact physical discharge day. This December 1933 march differs from the December 1932 delegation and November 1933 longshore strike.
