The paper calls the asserted city ordinance a pretext, reports both Simonov and Walter Hines actually out on bond, and schedules jury trial July 26 at10a.m. in the police court on Ash Avenue. No final verdict or precise discharge day is stated. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/westernworker/1934/v3-n27-31-jul-1934.pdf#page=7
