Alderman Quillian Grinds Court Over Disorderly Cases
The second ward alderman quips of “grinding” justice as the court handles a string of cases. A negro boy is ordered spanked and returned to prison with probation oversight after a grandmother noted for cooking is praised. A tramp from Macon and a geed up suspect known as Jim Mitchell face warnings about work and food safety. A burglary by Haynes secures a $500 bond while a suspect’s tests of questions reveal distrust of pawnbrokers. A case of domestic violence leads to a thirty day stockade sentence for Clarence Hammond. The session ends with the alderman praising the court as a good place for bad folks and a bad place for good folks.
