Although I don't remember it, our project director Curt Styles apparently met with the mayor the day after the trial of those of us arrested for blocking a door during the previous Saturday's picketing. There is a reference here to a payment of $550, apparently to be wired the next day. Since the trespassing fine had been set at $50, there must have been 11 people jailed in addition to me, my fine having been wired as bail the day of the arrest to remove the risk of continued beating. It appears Curt had decided our days of hard confrontation were over. Given that all the temporary northerners were heading back north, removing the watchful Northern Eyes, this was clearly a wise move.
