 Graham's establishment briefly went dormant during one such "closed city" period in 1890 but soon opened wide its doors for business once again.By February 14, 1891 (Valentine's Day, ironically), something of a "Wild West" atmosphere had returned to the tideflats, and a rookie policeman involved in a general crackdown on prostitution arrested Graham out of ignorance of her identity.The result was acquittal in a jury trial and (according to Speidel) the subsequent resignation of reform mayor Henry White.
