This Day in History: 1937-06-10
A Darlington Road resident was convicted of assault and battery charges in the Hackensack Court of Judge Lloyd Schroeder. The charges stemmed from a family dispute. An argument between a woman and her father over his failure to pay his room rent awakened the woman’s husband at 1:30 AM. The wife has accused her parent of spending too much. The in-law threatened him with a hammer and hit him with what he called a “high swift right” and broke and older man’s jaw. The judge refused to allow the wife to withdraw her charges against her husband. The convicted man was released on $600 bail awaiting sentencing later. (Bristow)
