Consists of documents on the early deportation trials of the 1930s to 1944. Includes correspondence, news clippings, investigative reports, and photocopies of reports and correspondence from police files on radical activities. Of special note is the Harper Knowles correspondence (Box 1), some of which was provided to the law firm by a janitor in the Veteran's Building, who assisted the defense by bringing them materials from Knowles' office during the night, allowing them to photocopy them, then returning them before morning. Pieced together scraps from the wastebasket symbolize the thorough nature of defense documentation.
