Farmer's Arrest: Seattle P-I, 1/14/43


While each paper covered the story of Farmer's tumultuous trial on January 14, 1943, only Seattle P-I provided pictures.



Though difficult to see, the picture on the left shows Farmer battling police after she was sentenced to 180 days in jail.  Police Officer T. W. MacDonald is shown holding Farmer as she kicks out in protest.


The picture on the right shows her in jail and was taken on the night of her arrest.
