Frendel's meat market windows broken and looted
Hughes appears in the lists of those charged with larceny published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide, and in the New York Evening Journal and in the New York Daily News. He was among the first of those arrested in the disorder to appear in the Harlem Magistrate's Court on March 20. Sent to the Court of Special Sessions by Magistrate Renaud, Hughes was held on $500 bail. There is no evidence of the outcome of his trial.
Williams appears in the list of those charged with inciting a riot published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide,, and as charged with disorderly conduct in the list published in the New York Daily News. Arraigned in the Harlem Magistrates Court on March 20, directly after Hughes, with the same complainant, the charge against Williams was malicious mischief, on offense involving damage to property. Like Hughes, Magistrate Renaud sent him to the Court of Special Sessions and held him on bail of $500. There is also no evidence of the outcome of his trial.
The store continued in business after the disorder. The complaint in the Magistrate's Court was made by Leo Halberg, a white butcher who worked in the store and lived at 1767 Fulton Avenue in the Bronx, who was still employed at the store when he registered for the draft in 1942. He gave the name of his employer as "Frendel Inc.." The MCCH Business survey records a white-owned "Pork (Meat) Market" at 2360 8th Avenue and a store with signs indicating that it is a meat market is visible in the Tax Department photograph taken between 1939 and 1941. A photograph of the meat market, with a sign reading "Frendel Market," accompanied a New York Amsterdam News story about rationing in Harlem in 1943. By then the store was owned by (Sigmund) Fred Garb, a Jewish refugee from Austria, and his wife Claire, who identified a cousin named "S. Frendl" when they arrived in the United States in 1939. Twice, in 1941 and again in 1943, Fred Garb was convicted of fixing their scales to cheat customers.
