* July 11, 1889: Wm Scattergood and his wife Abbie insulted me on ? St (witness).
* September 17, 1889: Joe S (JJS) was very insulting and threatening.
* April 12, 1890: rec'd 2 Telegrams from RI - one from Ed Scattergood, JJS's brother and the other from Nellie Goll saying Rebecca and Carrie (William Bate's daughter and ex-wife) and all had returned.
* April 22, 1890: Joe S (JJS) drove along side of my car and had a great deal to say and with other things called me a white son of a bitch and said he would smack my head if I came out to Woonsocket. They all feel very bad to think they got left out seeing my boy Willie. Miller was on the car says he shall complain of him to the Chief of Police.
* April 30, 1890: Miller the merchant on NM st after meeting is very much worked up over Joe and his action by the car the other day.
* March 14, 1892: JJ Scattergood insulted me from NM St to the foot of Cano St. Called me very many hard things. I was forced to keep my mouth shut as usual. A red faced English woman of Wagle Park heard and saw him.
* May 19, 1892: JJS had a good deal to say.
* May 20, 1892: JJS was at me again today.
