Tragic gambler tale and moral reflections from old San Francisco
A dramatic San Francisco gambling saloon tale centers on a man who loses a fortune at monte, fatally wounds a dealer with a dirk, then dies after a remorseful plea to a wife and brother. The piece blends a lurid scene with a note on fate, a Quaker anecdote, a love song parody, and editorial fragments from the era.
