A long and tedious session of the recorder’s court was occupied, for the most part, with minor offenders Tuesday. There were two convictions against on defendant on a charge of assault with deadly weapon, all parties to the affair being colored. The defendant was Alex Armstrong and he drew four months for each offense.
Fred Harris, also colored, got off with $10 and costs when convicted on three separate charges, disorderly conduct, creating a disturbance and trespass.
Joshua Zachery, colored, prosecuting witness against James E. King on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, had a lapse of memory and was taxed with the costs.
