The Heart Wretch’n Af’fair of Mrs. Elinor Q.

The lynchpin Case for the Crackdown by the New York City’s ’ D.A.’s Office on Prohibition era cabarets Ne nightclubs along Broadway

As mentioned in the “ Canary Murder Case”, investigated by P. Vance

 

The case referred to here was that of Mrs. Elinor Quiggly, a

wealthy widow living at the Adlon Hotel in West 96th Street. She

was found on the morning of September 5 suffocated by a gag which

had been placed on her by robbers who had evidently followed her

home from the Club Turque--a small but luxurious all-night cafe at

89 West 48th Street. The killing of the two detectives, McQuade and

Cannison, was, the police believe, due to the fact that they were in

possession of incriminating evidence against the perpetrators of the

crime. Jewelry amounting to over $50,000 was stolen from the

Quiggly apartment.
