Biography

Thomas Nabried was one of nine Communist Party organizers prosecuted in the Philadelphia Smith Act case. A jury convicted him in 1954. On June 20, 1955, the court imposed a three-year sentence and ordered him jailed immediately after denying bail pending appeal. The Third Circuit reversed the conviction and ordered a new trial on November 13, 1957. The available record does not establish the exact day his post-sentencing custody ended.
