The May 1933 Labor Defender names Leon Sagamore alongside Ben Gold and Carl Carlson in the Wilmington Hunger March prosecution. It reports sixty-day jail sentences and $50 fines for each, followed by denial of a Wilmington appeal March 20 and a further state Supreme Court appeal. The shared defendants and event connect this printed name variant to the existing Wilmington case; no new alias, exact sentencing day or completed sixty-day duration is inferred. Original source.
