David Bragg arrested
"Ben Salcfas" of 2061 7th Avenue was recorded as the complainant against David Bragg in the Harlem Magistrates Court docket book. A story in the Home News was the only other source that linked Bragg to 2061 7th Avenue. The information that Bragg threw a rock at the store window was 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 for breaking windows. However, police initially charged Bragg with inciting a riot, which was the charge recorded in the 28th Precinct police blotter, and in the lists of those arrested during the disorder published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American, and Norfolk Journal and Guide, and 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 $1,000. 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.
