“Drinking was a great leveller, not because it made everyone equally drunk but because it made everyone equally guilty.”
― Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby by Churchwell, Sarah (2014) Paperback

“Anna Schrader was another of the women who came to Portland during the Girl Rush, arriving in 1910. Census records indicate she was married at the age of eighteen, presumably in Minnesota, where she was born and raised. She became a gadfly for the local Portland police and provided them with a great deal of useful information regarding bootlegging during Prohibition. This was possible because of her affair with police lieutenant William Breuning, who had gotten her the job of "private detective.”
