This was the only story about the events of the disorder that included a first-person account by the journalist. The Baltimore newspaper had a correspondent in Harlem. He described arriving at 125th Street and 7th Avenue at 7:14 PM, and then walking along 125th Street to the Kress store. He remained there for an unspecified time and did not appear to go elsewhere in the neighborhood during the disorder — or if he did, chose not to include what he saw in the story.

The list of those arrested in this story was from a story by A. E. White distributed by the Associated Negro Press (ANP) and also published in the Norfolk Journal and Guide and Atlanta World. The list identified 117 of those arrested (and also included three names that were repeated (William Jones, Louis Cobb, and Raymond Easley, the later two with variant spellings) and Lloyd Hobbs, who was not included among those arrested for this study as he died in hospital). Eleven of those arrested are missing from the list. Daughty Shavos and Clifford Mitchell were not arrested until late on March 20, and Jackie Ford was not arrested until March 22. Henry Goodwin was likely also arrested after daybreak on March 20 as he did not appear in court until March 21. Charles Alston was hurt trying to escape police and appeared in the list of the injured (he was not arraigned in the Magistrates Court until April 9). There was no obvious reason for the omission of six other arrested men: Albert Bass, Joseph Fernandez, Frank Hall, Herbert Hunter, Salathel Smith, and Nathan Snead.
