The nineteen suffragists arrested on February 24, 1919 were charged with loitering or, in the case of the women arrested at the watchfire, for speaking on the Common without a permit. One very young woman had her case continued and later dismissed, and one was acquitted. The rest were convicted and given the choice of paying a five-dollar fine or spending eight days in jail. Four women paid the fine, but the remaining thirteen refused and were taken to the Charles Street jail to serve their sentences. This location is now The Liberty, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston.
