"A Bawdy House of Ill Fame"
Although
Prohibition comes to an end, the demand for ladies of the night,
gambling and bootleg liquor does not. The tavern (nicknamed Orphan
Annie’s after the madame herself) is a popular hangout for a cast of
characters including criminals on the run, local law enforcement, and
Chicagoans hankering for some debauchery. In 1942, Anna Beckford Peck is
finally sentenced and sent away to Taycheedah, the womens’ prison near
Fon du Lac.
