Contemporary original newspaper source; individual page evidence retained in review audit 897. Exact individual custody dates and duration are not inferred from relative dates or collective claims.
The November 1934 Connecticut report says district ILD secretary Joe West was arrested outside court while speaking to workers about the Danielson case and was later permitted to defend the accused after a postponement. It reports that the cases were thrown out following mobilization by farmers. This is the existing Connecticut prosecution’s procedural context, not another dated custody interval.
