Lucky Luciano. The Man Who Organized Crime in America By Hickman Powell. Introduction by Charles Gutzner and afterword by Ed Becker. Book Review By John William Tuohy - includes:

"...twenty-eight eccentric prostitutes that were also used by the State to bring Luciano down; Street people like Cokey Flow Brown, a morphine and opium addict, whom the presiding judge allowed to down a few shots of brandy during her testimony to keep the shakes from overwhelming her. Oddball or not, in the nine hours of her testimony, not one of Luciano's razor sharp trial lawyers could trap her in a lie or an inconsistency. "

If there ain't a ballad about this gal - one of our guys ought to do one. Song challenge????

I'm assuming that "Cokey Flow" is a typo - there are several others in the web page. All other references I've found show as "Cokey Flo" as in Florence. An occasional "Coke-y Flo" turnes up, but I've found nothing on "Cokey Flow."
