Bv ELLIOTT J. PfEZE. Times Staff Writer
An excessive total of 114 cases
was listed for trial in Judge
John D. Johnson’s Municipal
Court Monday morning. The ses
sion lasted well into the after
noon, and a large crowd of
spectators remained present un
til the final cases was disposed of
Cases from the Coconut Grove
area commanded a major portion
of the day’s docket. Among these
sensations was the case of Jaj
Scott of 3360 Douglas Road, who
was charged with assault and
battery on his common law wife,
Mrs. Annie McGhee of the same
address. Scott was also charged
with resisting arrest.
The incident occurred on Sat
urday night, at tbout 8:30, at the
home of Scott and Mrs. McGhee
Officer E. Cotton and Officer P
Farrington were the arresting of
ficers in the case. Officer Cotton
told the court that he received a
call to go to the house in ques
tion in order to quell a distur
bance which, according to the in
formant, had been going on for
some time. Upon arrival at Jhe
house, Officer Cotton said, Mrs
McGhee told him that Scott had
been beating her severely for no
reason at all. The officer added
that he could easily determine
that a scuffle had been goin go
ing on in the room, where Scott
and Mr*. McGhee were, by the
disorderly arrangement of the
furniture and blood stains on the
bed, floor and on Mrs. McGhee’s
clothing. Cotton further told the
court that Scott (pushed in bodily
out of the room when he first at
tempted to make an arrest. Later
the officer returned with his part
ner, and was forced to brake the
door in order to arrest Scott.
Mrs. McGhee agreed with the
officer’s version, but Scott de
clared that Mrs. McGhee had hit
him first, and that he did no
more than defend himself. But the
evidence was too strong against
Scott. Judge Johnson fined him a
total of $175.00 or 70 days in jail
on the two charges combined.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Riley Conyers—charged with
disorderly conduct, creating a dis
turbance, and with carrying con
cealed weapon fja knife)—fined
$75.06 or 30 days on the two
charges combined
