Biography

William Ninos wrote on May 11, 1929 from New York Prison while actually serving a five-day term connected with the cafeteria strike. He expected release the following Tuesday, May 14, but the letter does not prove that anticipated discharge occurred. The nominal term is not counted as completed actual service.
