Biography

Barnett is individually named among ten people arrested at an unemployed-workers meeting in a private home in Fairfield, Alabama, on Friday January 27, 1933. The Sunday January 29 Birmingham dispatch says all ten spent Friday night in jail and were bailed out Saturday January 28, under an ordinance requiring police permission even for meetings in homes. Only this surname is supplied; no given name is inferred. The identity is qualified by the documented event; no link to a different existing namesake or to another Burke is established. Page 3.

Case

Charges: Holding an unemployed-workers meeting in a private home without police permission, under the Fairfield ordinance.
Arrested: Jan 27, 1933
Incarcerated: January 27, 1933
Released: January 28, 1933
Sentence: The January 29 Birmingham dispatch says the defendants spent Friday night in jail and were bailed out by workers on Saturday. This is actual overnight detention, not a completed sentence; precise hours and any earlier or later custody are unknown. Documented custody period: 1933-01-27 to 1933-01-28. The counter covers this documented prison phase only; undated earlier detention and restrictions after physical release are excluded. The report describes overnight detention; the calendar-day difference does not establish 24 hours in jail.
