Willie Rivers Courtroom Flight Sparks Hold Up
A chaotic police matinee opens with a fleeing woman in the courthouse crowd. Willie Rivers is chased for leaving the courtroom as officers and a recorder narrate a comic, nonfatal exchange. A second case sees Oscar Johnson accused of loafing at the carshed, then Charley Simmons duel for a hat with Samuel Smith, ending in dismissal and hat transfer. Truth-telling fines in another scene feature John Henry Lewis and Henry Jackson, with Jackson praising honesty after a small penalty.
