Biography
Tom Evanoff is individually listed in the January 1931 Labor Defender political-prisoner directory under Multnomah County Jail, Oregon, with deportation proceedings and 1930 in its year column. The directory documents an attributed historical confinement listing. It does not supply an exact arrest, admission or discharge day, a completed deportation or an actual custody total. The Portland article on PDF page 10 also names the deportation defendants; spelling varies between the article and roster.
