Biography

Robert T. Smith led clothing-store pickets in New Kensington in 1950. He served ten months following an affray conviction. After a successful appeal, a March 1952 retrial ended in a suspended sentence.

The March 1952 retrial was held in Ebensburg before Judge John McCann. Robert T. Smith received a suspended ten-month sentence. The suspended sentence did not add another ten months of imprisonment.
