Fortunate Widow and San Francisco Fortune Tale
A California widow, Mrs. Crittenden, widow of Yom Crittenden, seeks help after poverty. Keene buys mining stock for her using her diamonds as security, enabling a margin bet that soars from 36 to 200 plus, yielding about 825,000 in commissions and profit, and she ends up with wealth, diamonds, horses, and clothes. The tale frames Keene as instrumental in lifting her from hardship to prosperity.
