I would have loved to have seen the interiors of the marshal field mansion before it was turned to generic boxes. The everleigh club old pics make it look amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58563640551252225.post-80508106191094298072020-10-05T22:12:38.673-05:002020-10-05T22:12:38.673-05:00Los Angeles Sunday Times on November 23, 1913 give...Los Angeles Sunday Times on November 23, 1913 gives an account from the woman who claims to have shot Marshall Field , Jr. after an unacceptable sexual encounter.

It was for sale for years then and the realator was angry thatshe couldn't sell it. I believe it was an ex-retirement home then: you could see how the big rooms were all split up.

Also, if he entered the house with his injury - was it inflicted by an Everleigh "butterfly," or by another patron?

The sisters banned gambling immediately after his death. The whores at that place were carefully vetted by the sisters and they wouldn't employ a girl nutty enough to do that. But if Field was cheating at cards, a wealthy, big ego man who could afford to go there would get that mad and be carrying a gun.Phil Wizenickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512124934412405558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58563640551252225.post-66784647899422079852010-11-11T19:58:34.830-06:002010-11-11T19:58:34.830-06:00Actually, although he was shot on November 22, Mar...Actually, although he was shot on November 22, Marshall Field, Jr died on November 27, 1905.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
