  Anton Mente was an Austro-Hungarian immigrant who was arrested in New York in 1915 and accused of plotting to plant bombs. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F2071EF6385B1773... He denied the charges but eventually pleaded guilty to "violating the Tenement House Act" and was sentenced to one year in prison. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70A13FE3B5B17738... I can't find any mention of what happened to him after that.
