March 15, 1907 - Court Hearing - Hotel Hanky Panky (Fountain Hotel) - Roxbury - Just Plain Scandalous from Orgies to Drunks - Printed in the Paper

Court case against Michael Karl owner of the Fountain Hotel at 1210 Franklin Street. Charges from serving minors to hosting orgies in the rooms.VERY INTERESTING READ - Court Hearing - Hotel Hanky Panky (Fountain Hotel) - Roxbury - Just Plain Scandalous from Orgies to Drunks - Printed in the Paper! I am surprised just how much detail they put in the paper - even if they buried it on page 5. The hotel was located at 1210 Franklin Street - long gone - a regular house is located there now.
