it is
well known that many of the High Rollers of the day would often hold high stake
poker games. Many a car was lost and many won over a deck of cards. One of the
Bootleggers always claimed the Cadillac’s or other cars he won from a well
known auto dealer, always ran better than any he had purchased. He claimed that
he won as many cars as he had lost. This same Bootlegger had at one time won a
house on Third Street in a poker game. He also lost it in a poker game. Before
he lost it in another poker game he hired someone to clean the house so he
could turn around and sell it. As the cleaning person was clearing out a closet
in the basement, she fell through the closet floor into a sub basement below
the actual basement. One can only speculate what the lowest level was used for.
