Biography
Isadore Izen was arrested June 16, 1933 at Coney Island beach after protesting police beating a peddler. The Daily Worker of August 10, 1933, page 3, names Tense and Izen as charged with inciting to riot and reports their trial scheduled that morning at Special Sessions in Brooklyn, with International Labor Defense representation. The announcement establishes the earlier arrest, but supplies no trial verdict, sentence, release day or continuous period of custody.
The August 11 Daily Worker reports that Izen and Harry Tense were sent to jail the preceding day after the inciting-to-riot proceeding. It announces a future sentencing hearing and does not establish his actual discharge. Its reference to the earlier arrest month conflicts with the existing record, so the arrest date was retained pending corroboration.
