...platoon of newshawks and cameramen who met Mooney at the San Francisco jail found him, as always, cocked and primed to talk about his "martyrdom." He expected no redress from the California Court, he said, but had great hopes for a final victory before the U. S. Supreme Court. Twenty pounds heavier than when he left San Francisco, he was tanned, seemed fully alert despite his 52 years and nearly a generation behind bars. His "prison heart," a nervous cardio-vascular affliction, did not appear to bother him, but in the general excitement he could not keep back the tears...
Lonnie Thompson, the here, played by Frank Silvera, is a negro railroaded to jail by his employer on a trumped-up charge of raping a white girl.

Told that Rogers & Hoey had spent the day in alcoholic bickering, police clapped Host Rogers and a male house guest in jail. Day later, believing the death suicide, they released both on bail...
Weiss was fully disabled by a blow to the chin before sixty bullets left the revolvers of armed bodyguards to pepper his body. From all reports he could have been tied up, taken to jail, and given a fair trial. Courts act quickly in such cases. This is what happened to Zangara, the would-be assassin of President Roosevelt, and to the slayers of Garfield and McKinley; yet the scene in the Louisiana state capitol resembled the settling of accounts between rival gangs...
