Below is a photo of the Grant Hotel still around and running, in San Francisco, CA. I wonder what room number they were in?


 The two women took a Mr. B McNutt to their room and rolled him of 6 $50 bills totaling $300. There must not of been much proof against the ladies (Using this term lightly) because one was acquitted and one fined $25. He willingly went up to their room for I am sure we all know what and in 1916 this was a hushed thing people did not talk about although it was going on everywhere in the city at that time. I wonder if the Hotel still has the sign in book? Would that be a great genealogical find. Unfortunately I didn't find any newspaper articles to tell us more of their story.
