Biography

Page 2 names Vincent McCormick, a painter, among four workers arrested during the July 26 Bremen anti-Nazi demonstration. Their July 29 hearing was postponed until July 31 at West Fifty-Fourth Street Court. Bail was set at $2,500 each; the enlarged original confirms that figure. No individual formal count, bail payment, release or eventual disposition is stated. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1935/v12-n181-NAT-jul-30-1935-DW-Q.pdf

Pages 1–2 report the Bremen defendants’ felonious-assault proceedings adjourned August 7 to August 14, while page 4’s cruise announcement again names Vincent McCormick among the five guests. The court roster instead prints William McCormack, twenty-eight, of 432 Hudson Street. That conflicting given name and surname are recorded as an unresolved within-issue discrepancy, not used to create another prisoner, change Vincent’s identity, or uncritically assign every roster detail. The announcement does not establish a precise release date. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1935/v12-n189-NAT-aug-08-1935-DW-Q.pdf
