In the Court of General Sessions on March 27 (3)
Only the Daily News and New York Herald Tribune included details of what the men had done. The Daily News did so only for Jackson, who it reported "took $100 worth of pipes and jewelry." The New York Herald Tribune added that the merchandise came from a cigar store on 7th Avenue. It also reported that Wade had taken a toy pistol from a store on 127th Street. Neither story provided details of what Wright had done. That additional information somewhat countered how pleading to a lesser charge diminished the seriousness of what Jackson had done, while having the opposite result in Wade's case, leaving the New York Herald Tribune's readers with a somewhat confused picture of whether these convictions involved men who played a major role in the disorder.
