Page from a scrapbook containing newspaper clippings from 1954-1955 that document the police raid on Tommy's Place and the arrest and trial of Grace Miller and Joyce van de Veer. Their lawyer was Robert Cort. On September 9, 1954 Grace Miller and Joyce van de Veer were arrested for contributing to the delinquency of minors. Bars they owned, 12 Adler Place and Tommy's Place (529 Broadway), were reportedly the rendezvous point for teenage girls to gain access to alcohol, marijuana, and to meet older men and women. Later clippings concern the sentencing of Grace Miller to two consecutive jail terms (two 6-month sentences to run concurrently).
