Harlem in Disorder: A Spatial History of How Racial Violence Changed in 1935

Nathan Snead arrested

Sometime during the disorder, Officer McNulty of the 28th Precinct arrested Nathan Snead, a twenty-six-year-old Black man who lived at 310 West 128th Street. McNulty charged Snead with petit larceny, according to the 28th Precinct police blotter, which noted he allegedly “Stole Merchandise from store.” Neither Snead's arrest nor his subsequent court appearances are reported in the press. No complainant is recorded in the Harlem Magistrates Court docket book, so there is no evidence regarding the store from which Snead allegedly stole.



On March 20, Snead appeared in the Harlem Magistrate's Court. Magistrate Renaud sent him to the Court of Special Sessions and held him on $500 bail, according to the docket book. His trial took place on March 25, when the judges convicted him and sentenced him to the penitentiary, according the the 28th Precinct police blotter.
