From the January 24, 1900 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Elizabeth Lahr, 38 years old, of 266 Johnson avenue, was sent to jail for sixty days this morning by Magistrate Teale, in the Manhattan avenue court, on the charge of being an habitual drunkard. John Lahr, the woman’s husband, was the complainant.

Lahr produced forty pawn tickets in court and stated that they represented articles pawned by his wife. Mrs. Lahr carried the ten weeks’ old infant in her arms when brought before the bar. She was permitted to take the infant to jail with her.”
