Saturday, September 2nd, 1933, hundreds of people flocked to the station as five women (Ms. Eleanor Jarman, Mrs. Bessie Opas, Mrs. Vera Carl, Mrs. Louise Murphy and Miss Katherine Brockman) were ushered onto a train to be sent to Oakdale Reformatory where they'd carry out their sentences. We know about Eleanor's crimes, but what did the other four other women do to earn themselves a seat next to the supposedly “most dangerous woman alive?” Tea of the Day: Wild Maine Blueberry Green TeaTheme Music by Brad FrankFor a full list of sources, go to https://tea-time-crimes.simplecast.com/episodes.Sources:“Prophecies Are True In Chicago Mystery Murder.” (AP) The San Bernardino County Sun, Sun, Jul 17, 1932, Page 22, https://www.newspapers.com/image/49261328/“Grocer Slain in Store, Quiz Widow and Son.” Chicago Tribune, Sun, Jul 17, 1932, Page 5, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355134970/“Husband Slain After Seeress Foretells Fate.” Chicago Tribune, Mon, Jul 18, 1932,Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355135382/“Police Forego Seance with Seeress of Death.” (AP) Alton Evening Telegraph, Tue, Jul 19, 1932, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/16343529/“Seeress Finds Cash in Death Picture Cards.” (U.P.)  Daily News, Wed, Jul 20, 1932 ·Page 355 (3), https://www.newspapers.com/image/415074302/“Cards Forecast Woman's Freedom.” (UP) Martinsville, IN, The Reporter-Times, Mon, Aug 01, 1932, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/551592762/“Grand Jury Clears Widow, Brother of Murder Charges.” Chicago Tribune, Sat, Aug 06, 1932, Page 3, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355061142/“Solve Fortune Teller Murder: Accuse Widow.” “Shot when he tries to play a prank on friends.”Chicago Tribune, Mon, Feb 27, 1933, Page 1, https://www.newspapers.com/image/354928197/“New Witness Disputes Alibi in Carl Slaying.” Chicago Tribune, Fri, Jul 22, 1932, Page 8, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355136335/“Widow Denies Part in Fortune Teller Murder.” Chicago Tribune, Tue, Feb 28, 1933, Page 13, https://www.newspapers.com/image/354928716/“Slayer Tells of Killing In Insurance Plot.” Chicago Tribune, Wed, Jun 28, 1933, Page 16, https://www.newspapers.com/image/354985651/“State to Close Today In Carl Murder Trial.” Chicago Tribune, Thu, Jun 29, 1933, Page 6, https://www.newspapers.com/image/354985914/“Two Sentenced to Life Terms in Carl Murder.” Chicago Tribune, Sat, Jul 15, 1933, Page 6, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355101063/“Slayer Accuses Widow Carl as Murder Plotter.” Chicago Tribune, Sat, Jul 22, 1933, Page 3, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355162238/“Widow Swears Denial of Part in Carl Murder.” Chicago Tribune, Tue, Jul 25, 1933, Page 3, https://www.newspapers.com/image/355163655/“Woman Faints as Sentence Meted.” (AP) Lexington Herald-Leader, Wed, Jul 26, 1933, Page 7, https://www.newspapers.com/image/683308671/“Thou Shalt Not Kill Thy Husband!” By Elizabeth Walker, Detroit Free Press, Sun, Sep 17, 1933, Page 46, https://www.newspapers.com/image/97968323/“Blonde Tiger Girl and 4 Other Women are Sent to Prison.” (AP) The Gazette, Sun, Sep 03, 1933, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/548016620/“In Search of the Blonde Tigress: The Untold Story of Eleanor Jarman,” by Silvia Pettem, Published by Lyons Press 2023.“Parole Board to Give Killers Hearing Today.” Chicago Tribune, Tue, Oct 09, 1951, Page 7, https://www.newspapers.com/image/370193743/Chicago Tribune, Tue, Mar 18, 1969, Page 28, https://www.newspapers.com/image/376637673/“Blonde Tiger Girl and 4 Other Women Are Sent to Prison.” (Chicago AP) and “Woman Scientist's Discovery Fixes Virus in Kidneys As Cause Of Sleeping Disease.” (St. Louis UP) The Gazette, Sun, Sep 03, 1933, Page 2, https://www.newspapers.com/image/548016620/Vera Carl in the 1940 United States Federal Census, United States of America, Bureau of the Census.

Meridth Hammer tried hard to be a good employee, but when she was laid off during the 2007 crash, she ultimately decided it was time to open her own law firm.  She set up the Hammer Legal Group in Indianoplis, and was successful for several years. Then she got an offer she couldn't refuse at the Cook County Clerk's Office, but eventually knew she wanted to get back to running her own firm, so she started the firm back up from scratch in Chicago.  Her practice focuses on wills, trusts, probate, and real estate. Along the way, she learned a lot -- about setting up and maintaining a business, about what works and what doesn't, about real estate shenanigans, and most importantly, about herself.  She also shares stories of some of the strong women in her life that have been an inspiration to her along the way. She candidly shares with The Savvy Entrepreneur some of the challenges along the way, with humility, humor, and absolutely a "can-do" attitude.

Cook County Clerk, Karen Yarbrough, joined Lisa Dent, who filled in for in for Bob Sirott, to share details about the Cook County Clerk Office’s partnership with the White Sox to provide free tickets to veterans and active duty individuals.

The saying goes that “justice delayed is justice denied.” One part of Illinois' judicial system has had an outsized role in delaying justice for decades: the Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court. Home to Chicago, Cook County's court system is massive, with more than a dozen courthouses generating millions of records. And in the records disarray, residents were mired in years-long delays that cost them time and opportunities. Reported by Mark Betancourt.Find a resource guide and annotated transcript at our website here. 

Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court Iris Martinez pulled what was always expected and flip flopped here campaign pledge to make her office be responsive to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Instead Martinez backed an Illinois Senate bill to make the office responsive to what is called the local records act. The Clerk's office was created under the Illinois Court's Act and thus it is deemed to be exempt from FOIA. The hitch is that under the Illinois Court's Act court records are deemed open as the court hearings unless sealed by a judge. The Clerk's office maintains the court's records and data so it makes sense that the records, whether in paper or digital form, would be open for public inspection. The Clerk's office has the infrastructure to make the Court's paper records available for inspection but obtaining digital versions of those same records is nearly impossible. If you want to read more about Martinez's flip flop you should check out a good article from Josh McGhee from Injustice Watch (link below). Also on the show today we cover: The CPD not making real progress on transitioning from away from their old was of capturing and retaining gang affiliation data.
