While the deponent [Davis] was in his Seventh Avenue barber shop, the defendants [Arrington, Clark] entered and “[claimed] he was running a game in the rear room… and that if he wanted to continue he must pay them [$25] for protection.” Later that day, the men returned and, after “[calling deponent] into the rear yard,” demanded the money. The deponent said he didn’t have, to which the defendants requested $5 instead.
