Gambler's money funds charity after grim tale of crime
A Long Island narrator recounts a New York gambler who hoarded over 300000 dollars from illegal gains. After his death his widow and daughter inherit, with the daughter later dying of apoplexy on her wedding day. Her will then allocates the fortune to charities, a minister, a neighbor, relatives, and a fiancé, prompting debate on Catholic piety and the fate of ill gotten gains.
