Archie Niles arrested
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. 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 suggested that for some reason Niles and the others were not arraigned. The likeliest explanation was that they had been spectators in a crowd near a store being looted who police arrested when they dispersed the crowd either mistaking them for participants in the looting or indiscriminately making arrests to disperse the crowd.
