Born in Latvia, in the poor farmer's family, he became a member of the Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party in 1904. In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1905 he fled to England and lived in London where he was a member of the London Group of Social Democracy of Latvia and of the British Socialist Party. In 1911, he achieved notoriety in Britain when he and four others were arrested and put on trial in the aftermath of the Sidney Street Siege that followed a failed jeweller's shop robbery at Houndsditch in which three police officers were killed. Despite some incriminating evidence, Peters and his companions were acquitted to the dismay of the Home Secretary Winston Churchill.
