In Washington Heights court on March 22 (1)
12022-12-07T18:42:36+00:00Anonymous18plain2023-04-06T21:33:29+00:00AnonymousOnly three newspapers mentioned hearings in the Washington Heights Court on this date. Both the Daily Worker and Home News included those hearings alongside those in the Harlem court. The Communist publication mentioned only that Mohammed had been convicted and sentenced to thirty days, on a charge that it misreported as burglary; the New York Times reported the same information without locating his appearance in the Washington Heights court. Mohammed was the only person who appeared in court named in the later story. The Home News as was generally the case included more detail, that Mohammed had allegedly broken windows, and that he had also been sent to the Court of Special Sessions for trial on the charge of possessing a weapon described as "a large bread knife." Both the Daily Worker and Home News also mentioned two others who appeared: A woman, Dorothy Paris in the Daily Worker and Josephine Paris in the Home News, arrested on March 21 for breaking the window of a store on Lenox Avenue, and Arthur Heywood, convicted of breaking a window. While the Daily Worker did not specify the date of Heywood's alleged crime, the Home News reported he had been arrested during the disorder. However, he did not appear among those arrested during the disorder in any other sources, so he is not included in this study.
