Minton. Five other defendants were exonerated and the charges against three others were dismissed. They were arrested following a brawl in front of the Palace Theater early on the morning of April 21 following a midnight "horror" picture at the theater. Judge Minton, in finding his verdicts, called the whole affair "unfortunate" and cautioned those in the courtroom to watch their actions, particularly in a crowd, in the future.

"It wasn't a very pleasant thing for anybody," he observed. "I don't see where a midnight horror show is any advantage to the City of Rochester. I am not one to say whether such shows should be held, for it is not within my province, but if this particular one hadn't been held, this unfortunate occurrence would not have happened." Found guilty of the charges were Robert White, 17, of 25 Herman Robert Jackson, 21, of 30 Vienna James Jeffries, 16, of 233 Troup Stephania Lawson, 16, of 10 Syracuse Richard McGill, 18, of 69 Frost and Sarah Mae Mills, 16, of 6Vi Crystal PI.
