Louis King and Charles Cameron, white men, were tried before Judge Walter Royal in municipal court Monday on charges of assault on Tom Byrd, negro.
A fine of $25 and the costs was imposed on King, while Cameron was dismissed upon payment of a $10 fine plus the costs. The defendants were represented by T.J. Gold, local attorney.
Hobert Welch was fined $15 and the costs when found guilty of assault on Winslow Smitherman.
In an effort to have a peace warrant issued for Bert Evans, white, court action was started by C.B. Bruce, who claimed the defendant had threatened his life. The case was tried before Judge Royal, but a dismissal of the action was ordered.
