Milton Ackerman arrested
Ackerman was named in the lists of those charged with burglary published in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Guide, and in the New York Evening Journal. He appeared in the Harlem Magistrates Court on March 20, when Magistrate Renaud had him held until March 25. When Ackerman returned to the Magistrate's Court the Magistrate discharged him as the grand jury had indicted him in response to evidence presented as part of District Attorney Dodge's investigation, an outcome reported only in a story in the Home News. He was then rearrested and held on $1000 Bail. Three days later he appeared in the Court of General Sessions, an appearance reported only in the New York Times. Judge Donnellan dismissed the indictment and released Ackerman. Neither that story nor the 28th Precinct Police blotter provided any explanation for the judge's decision.
