Winston-Salem Jan. 1—M.W. Brabham of Nashville, Tenn., tried in municipal court Tuesday morning on a charge of violating the hotel law and fined $25 and costs, today paid the fine and withdrew notice of appeal to the Superior Court given at the time judgement was entered.
From the front page of The Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, Jan. 2, 1926.
The hotel law forbids unmarried couples using hotel rooms to have sex. Hotel security used to stand in the hall and listen through the door if they suspected an unmarried couple was having sex. Then the police would be called, the room entered and the couple arrested.
