Corbett on Trial for Prize Fight in Jacksonville Court
The trial of James J. Corbett for engaging in a January 25 fight with Charles Mitchell opened in Duval County Florida with Judge Phillips presiding. Prosecution showed the bout was by prior arrangement but failed to prove malice while jurors were selected amid sparring objections. The defense plans to call Richard K Fox as an expert and the case is seen as likely to end in acquittal with a potential appeal to Judge Call. Corbett later travels to St Augustine for an exhibition before returning.
