David Bragg arrested
"Ben Salcfas" of 2061 7th Avenue is recorded as the complainant against David Bragg in the Harlem Magistrates Court docket book. A story in the Home News is the only other source that links Bragg to 2061 7th Avenue. The information that Bragg through a rock at the store window is also only found in that story, a report of his appearance in the Harlem Magistrates Court. The charge made against Bragg when he was arraigned, malicious mischief, involves the destruction of property, and was used in other prosecutions involving broken windows. However, police initially charged him with inciting a riot, which is the charge recorded in the 28th Precinct Police blotter, and in the list of those arrested during the disorder published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide, and the list published in the New York Evening Journal. When Bragg appeared in court on March 20, Magistrate Renaud transferred him to the Court of Special Sessions and held him on bail of $1000. Convicted by the judges of that court, he was sentenced on April 1 to three months in the workhouse, according to the 28th Precinct Police blotter.
