Harlem in Disorder: A Spatial History of How Racial Violence Changed in 1935

Archie Niles arrested

Sometime during the disorder, Archie Niles was arrested and charged with Petit Larceny. Niles' name appeared among those charged with Petit Larceny only in the list published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide. There was no evidence of the location of the business that he allegedly looted.

Six other men who appeared only in the list of those charged with Petit Larceny published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide were found in 32nd Precinct "Police Reports" gathered by the MCCH was Disorderly Conduct. Those index cards appeared to be transcribed from the Police Blotter. In the case of those other men, the outcome recorded was "Final Disposition ?." Albert Allen, together with Niles, was also missing from those records. Given the men's absence from the court docket book, that evidence suggests that for some reason Niles and the others were not arraigned.
