Biography

Louis Holzer was an International Ladies Garment Workers Union union member detained in the prosecution arising from Herman Liebowitz’s death during the 1910 New York cloakmakers’ strike. The charge against him was dismissed before trial.

Case

Charges: Murder accusation connected to the 1910 cloakmakers strike; May 1915 pretrial detention
Arrested: May 11, 1915
Incarcerated: May 11, 1915
Released: 1915
Sentence: Arrested May 11, 1915 and detained without bail. A July 1915 message from the Tombs bears his name. Bail was set on August 7; the actual day he left jail is unverified and is not equated with the bail-order date. His charge was dismissed September 13, 1915, before the other seven returned for trial. No September trial-remand segment or conviction is assigned to him.
