Grant served a summon upon a young lady named Anne Mitchell, the said-to-be betrothed of Suratt [sic], and carried her to the police headquarters for examination."

Great research ladies.

What a shame.
I guess she was singing the blues.
"Honest officer, he told me his name was Bill"

Remember this song by the 5th Dimension?
