Biography
Einosuke Yamaguchi, also recorded as Enosuke Yamaguchi and under the documented alias "Pauley", was a Japanese radical organiser in Los Angeles.
He was arrested on January 3, 1930 at a forum on Brooklyn Avenue in Los Angeles under the authority of California's Criminal Syndicalism Act. The disposition of that charge and his release from it are unresolved.
In March 1930 he was arrested again, with Hakomori and Fukunaga, during a Trade Union Unity League demonstration advocating the organisation of unemployed workers. He was jailed and reportedly fined $500, and was ultimately placed in deportation proceedings.
In August 1932 he was released from the Lincoln Heights Jail for deportation or voluntary departure; contemporary reports show him leaving the jail and travelling east. HE DEPARTED FOR THE SOVIET UNION RATHER THAN JAPAN. The exact day of departure is unresolved.
Whether he was held continuously between the March 1930 jailing and the August 1932 release is not established, so no custody span is recorded and no day counter is computed.

A contemporary jail-departure photograph appears in that issue of the Western Worker, with Los Angeles Public Library provenance identified in a later reproduction; it has not been attached to this record.
