Police Court Fines and Fracas Highlight Evening Session
Disputes over insults, loitering, and gaming dominate a Washington police court session. Charles Greenwell was discharged after telling an officer to go to hell, while John Reeves faced loitering charges and received a small fine. Roger Jackson paid ten dollars for disorderly conduct as he claimed his pocket held his own “honor.” John Norris and a poker group were partially charged for a quiet game interrupted by officers. John Schutterjee was fined for disorderly conduct and assault after a visit from Washington friends. A roof top arrest at the Raleigh Hotel led to a grappling arrest by Samson who subdued a man believed to be insane.
