  Mae Sullivan was the young woman who accused Arthur Hoe of breach of promise. In June 1914, she went on stage to capitalize on the interest in the scandal--she carried a garden hoe (as a reference to his name), sang a little song, and said a few words, at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre. And then she was arrested for contempt of court.
