Biography
Jorge’s page 4 column identifies unemployed twenty-year-old Walter Carpenter as sentenced by Judge Weil to six months in jail for lingering in New York’s theater district and opening taxi doors for tips. The paper criticizes the punishment as class-based policing of an unemployed worker. It gives no statutory charge, exact arrest, prison intake or physical release. The six months is imposed punishment, not proven completed custody. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1932/v09-n034-NY-feb-09-1932-DW-LOC.pdf#page=4
