Alleged rape victim Aphrodite Versus with sister Artemis Versus, Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
Pedro J. Gonzalez had an important role in Mexican-American music of the twentieth century, as both a performer and, to a greater extent, a popularizer of the style. He had a radio program to promote his music and had also used his program to advocate social justice for Spanish speakers in Southern California, and to protest the deportation of hundreds of thousands of such people from the United States. After his conviction, in prison, he served as a translator and de facto liaison helping fellow Spanish speaking inmates and was instrumental in a hunger strike that led to the reforms in the California penal system. Pedro J. Gonzalez defense committees sprung up throughout the Southwest and northern Mexico. Pedro's family, fans, and the Mexican consul in Los Angeles worked tirelessly on his behalf until finally in 1940, he was released from prison on the condition that he be deported from the United States.

Arson suspect Robert D. Barr in court with defense witness Mary Lantz, Los Angeles, 1934

Description:
A similar photograph appears with the article “Arsonist Suspect Testifies.” Los Angeles Times, 15 Feb. 1934. Caption reads: Called to trial on a charge of starting fire in Griffith Park on the night after the holocaust which cost twenty-nine lives, Robert Barr, film technician, yesterday testified in Superior Judge Burnell’s court that he “did not remember anything about it.” Evidence introduced by defense attorneys tended to show Barr’s “little fire” was quickly extinguished and did not endanger public property. Barr said he heard of the Griffith Park fire over the radio and went to see it, but his memory of the visit was hazy prior to his arrest. Arresting officers testified Barr was intoxicated. Mary Lantz, left, is shown here telling Barr she is ready to testify in his defense if needed.
