He built a hotel with secret walls and rooms so that he could kill people and dispose of their bodies in the basement. At least, this is the story we've all been told. The real story is quite different. LINKS LINKS LINKS: Gem of the Prairie by Herbert Asbury https://www.amazon.com/Gem-Prairie-In...
