Biography

Jess Shapiro was arrested on August 14, 1932.

Revolt, October 1932, pages 5-6, individually names the six August 14 Los Angeles Olympic Stadium demonstrators for Tom Mooney's freedom and reports their September 1 sentences of nine months in Los Angeles county jail for disturbing the peace and a public meeting. This is the original imposed term, not nine months of proven service; subsequent appeal and release evidence remains preserved. The name is printed as Jess Shapiro.

Contemporary original newspaper source; individual page evidence retained in review audit 878. Exact individual custody dates and duration are not inferred from relative dates or collective claims.

The May 1933 Labor Defender greeting individually names Jess Shapiro among the six Mooney-defense demonstrators then serving six-month terms at Los Angeles Lincoln Heights City Jail. This is a contemporary report of the six-month term during the existing Olympic-protest imprisonment, not proof of six months completed or an exact admission or release day. Original source.
