Grace Druggan, 26, the wife of notorious prohibition era beer baron Terry Druggan, is in court on March 7, 1941, to get her son Terrence Jr., 3, back from the elder Druggan. Druggan violated a custody agreement in effect since she filed for divorce that allowed Druggan to have the boy on weekends only. Druggen had refused to give him up the prior weekend, but returned him by way of a threat from the judge to hold him in contempt of court. The divorced Grace Druggan committed suicide five years later by jumping off Navy Pier in 1946. Terry died in 1954 at the age of 51 from his constant stomach uclers, asthma and heart troubles, according to the Chicago Daily Tribune. (Photo by Chicago Tribune Historical Photo)
