The perils of Pauline made headlines and gossip topics regularly from 1959 until she died of an overdose of sleeping pills in 1964 while serving a prison term. Her exploits in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky included arrests for shooting, kidnapping, possession of narcotics and carrying concealed weapons. Her romantic interest made no headlines, but plenty of gossip.

We were reminded of Pauline when attorney Sam Rubenstein received a notice Wednesday that on March 16 a final disposition on a habeas corpus motion he filed in 1959 in behalf of Miss Van Dam would be heard in Judge Simon Leis' court. The English translation of habeas corpus means "produce the body." Attorney Rubenstein commented that Pauline could do a lot of things, but he was sure he would be unable to have her at the hearing. The case will be dismissed at the lawyer's request.
