Marilyn had been sent a summons in November 1954 for driving without a license. Her failure to appear in court prompted municipal Judge Charles Griffin to issue a warrant for her arrest. Brown posted the $100 bail so that she would not be arrested and urged her to settle the matter by appearing at a February 15, 1955 hearing.
