City Court Fines Lunch Counter Operator for Drunken Disorderly Conduct
Joe Williams who runs a East End lunch counter was fined 25 dollars by Judge Schulze for drunken and disorderly conduct and drawing a knife. He and four companions were near the city cemetery when a confrontation with four black men led to threats and a knife display. The negro with the umbrella backed off and Williams pursued, demanding arrest of the umbrella holder. The judge condemned the white witnesses as perjurers and warned them to the grand jury. Also, Sheriff Jack Parker was praised by State Auditor Capdieville for tax collection, nearly reaching the maximum. Parker’s 1908 tax effort was noted as excellent.
