Notes
- According to an article in the NY Times, Lillian,"befurred, bejewelled and matronly," was accused of in Special Sessions of being the operator of a "caravan" of women's poker games in apartments on the upper West Side. She averaged $15,000 a year from these games for at least two years. In one case, a woman lost more than $50,000 in three years in the poker games, and other women supposedly committed suicide over their losses.
Lillian pled guilty on April 8, 1943 and was sentenced to a 60-day workhouse term on April 22, 1943. She was also required to pay a $500 fine at the end of her term, or face another 60 days in the workhouse.
