Edward Hughes arrested

Edward Hughes, a thirty-six-year-old man of unknown race, was arrested during the disorder. There were no details of the circumstances, timing, or location of his arrest other than that it occurred below West 130th Street as it was recorded in the 28th Precinct police blotter. Hughes was one of three men, together with William Jackson and Roger Scott, who appeared in the police blotter and in the list of those arrested for riot published in the in the Atlanta World, Afro-American, and Norfolk Journal and Guide. The police blotter recorded that Hughes and the other men were discharged on March 20, but their names did not appear in the Harlem Magistrates Court docket book on that date. It is therefore likely that they were not prosecuted.

Hughes resided at 348 West 118th Street.
