Stilwell - Dora - house of ill repute - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

There has been much complaint about a gilded palace of sin run by a woman named Dora Stilwell in the north end and Wednesday night the police swooped down on the inmates and took them in. They caught a country girl and the Stilwell woman and an aged gentleman from the north part of the county. The party appeared before the mayor on Thursday and were all fined the limit. The girl is the daughter of a wealthy farmer and figured in a sensation here last fall at the Junction. She could have a home of ease if she desired it, but prefers a life of debauchery instead. Her companion last fall and Wednesday was the same man and is a man in good circumstances aged about 60 years and father of 11 children. His escapades with the girl have been the talk of the north part of the county for some time and he has scandalized several of the small towns of the county with his sprees in company with this woman Bess Harris. – kbz
