Lias' 1900 Wheeling Birth Record Stone Evidence in Trial
The judge noted a World War I draft card suggesting Lias may have dodged the draft, but it was not a trial issue. Lias has denied signing the card.

Lias, a long-time bootlegger, later led a numbers racket across Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, with multiple tax cases and legal entanglements noted.
