I write a weekly crime blog and also saw that entry in my research for Sept. 28 but needed a name before I could include it in my blog. The only data I could find that comes close is this on wikipedia.com when I plugged in “Smoking laws 1904”: “In 1904 a woman named Jennie Lasher was sentenced to thirty days in jail for putting her children’s morals at risk by smoking in their presence.” Could Jennie be the woman in the car on 5th Avenue? But there’s no mention of the exact date, her being in a car, or the police jurisdiction, so my entry will stay: “1904–NYPD arrested a woman for smoking a cigarette in a car on Fifth Avenue.”

btw, did you notice all the assassinations that happened on Sept. 28? King Ptolemy had General Pompey assassinated as soon as he stepped foot in Egypt to curry favor with Caesar (it didn’t work), Boleslaus the Cruel of Bohemia assassinated his big brother Wenceslas (of the Christmas carol) to gain the dukedom, then 60 years later Boleslaus’s son killed a bunch of people of a rival dynasty for their land.
Lots of crime for this day.

Love your site!

I hate to regret that my next post will be a trashing of this one. I was passed some information by a reader (what appears to be a reliable primary source of this event), which basically makes every statement of this post one lie after the next. I have to double check it, but if it is legit, then there is a HUGE misunderstanding of the events of this story. So tomorrows post ought to be interesting. Prohibition has always interested me, so I will definitely want to give Ness a looking into.
