Lamter Jackson arrested
Jackson is listed among those charged with burglary in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide, and the New York Evening Journal. Both those lists flip his name, identifying him as Jackson Lamter; the Home News and the docket book record him as Lamter Jackson. He appeared in the Washington Heights Magistrates Court on March 20, charged with petit larceny not burglary. That charge did not require the evidence of breaking in and entering a store to take merchandise that burglary did. Magistrate Ford sent him to the Court of Special Sessions and held him on $100 Bail. For some reason just over two months passed before Jackson's trial took place. On May 27, the Magistrates convicted him and sent him to the Workhouse for thirty days, an outcome found only in the 32nd Precinct records.
