District Attorney's Closed Case Files
The process of prosecution is documented on a form printed on the exterior of the envelope file folder, with space for recording the date of the Magistrates court hearing, the hearing in the grand jury, appearances in the Court of General Sessions and verdict, and the names of the assistant district attorney and judges in any court appearances. When the grand jury instead referred a case to the Court of Special Sessions, the folder is stamped with a form so that information can be recorded. No verdict is recorded for cases referred to that court.
Files for some of those arrested during the disorder could not be found, likely because they were either misfiled or not returned to the file system by prosecutors who used them.
Thanks to Ken Cobb and the staff of the Municipal Archives for help accessing this material. The case files were gathered with the support of the Australian Research Council as part of the Year of the Riot project, on which I collaborated with Shane White and Stephen Garton.
