Mollie and Daniel were arrested in late September, for vagrancy. Mollie was born in Scotland and living with an aunt in Oakland, working at a fur store before she and Daniel connected. pic.twitter.com/gY3ruTGfR0

By May of 1886, Daniel and Mollie were married, and she petitioned the court for his release after the beating charge. The newspaper described her as "a haggard and dissipated siren." She was 19 at this point. pic.twitter.com/9woXqMfj2I

Unfortunately, the trail goes cold after that. There were several Daniel Sullivans in the city (tons of Irish immigrants in that era). One of them died Dec. 4, 1886, but it's not clear if it's Mollie's Daniel Sullivan or another one.
