First woman jury, Los Angeles (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• 6 older comments, and then…
• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  If this is the first all-woman jury in Los Angeles, the forewoman was Nora Danforth. Other members were Florence bohan, Nina Cole, Anna Dillon, Hazel Norris, Bonna Meyers, Jane Hayes, Cora Brooks, Hattie Howard, Alice Walters, and Adeline Merry, according to the New York Times report on 12 November 1911. (They heard the case of a speeding motorcyclist.)

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it.

• Trapac said:

  My goodness, they look formidable!

• Lú_ said:

  The "12 angry women" tag is brilliant.

• Trapac said:

  This is *so* interesting - I've had a look, and i can count eleven people there - just. (The presence of the 11th person seems to be indicated only be the top of her dark hat right at the back on the far right of the frame. Our twelfth lady seems to have vacated the chair on the left, leaving only a coat/cape? draped there to indicate her presence. Where did she go? Could she have been the photographer? Or is she in fact just peeking/hiding behind the extra-ordinarily large black hat of the lady sitting in the front/foreground of the image? :)

Henry Heinzer (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Henry Heinzer was a statistician for the Produce Exchange, who testified in a state hearing about conspiracy among New York's wholesale bakeries.

Mrs. Eliz. Meinken (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Maybe connected to a society divorce: In 1915, Henry Meinken sued his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Benson Meinken, for divorce, naming Harry P. Hewes as co-respondent. Hewes was described as "the man with the beautiful eyes" in reporting from the courtroom.
