Selling homebrew and renting out rooms in Kansas City, Mo., Edna ran into Jack Murray, fresh out of the pen at Leavenworth where he spent time for “White Slavery”. Edna’s place kept getting raided, so she and little sis, Doris, just out of the Parish Prison in New Orleans, La., got a small flat on Thirteenth Street. Jack Murray soon moved in with Edna. Quickly bored with this place, Jack and Edna decided to go to Los Angeles, Ca., for Jack’s health, and were soon followed by Doris. Edna was thrown in jail for about three days while they were there. Seems she sold some mortgaged property before she left Kansas City. Edna said it was all “just a misunderstanding” and soon talked her way out. While in California, they read where Emory Connell, Doris’ husband, had been shot following his escape from the death cell in Little Rock, Arkansas. Doris took a train to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, where Emory’s body was taken for burial. She wanted to talk to Emory’s brother, Max, about some clothes and “other things” she had left in storage. “Diamond Joe” Sullivan, took his last seat in “Old Sparky” in Little Rock, Arkansas, later in 1924.
