Picturesque Southern Gambling King Dies in Memphis
The death of Harrin, long dubbed the king of gamblers on Beale Street, ends a storied era. Born a slave in the Philippines, he rose to power in Reconstruction Memphis, reportedly worth six figures at his height, later surviving on charity and street sales income. The elder Street figure, famed for casino nights and high-stakes play with cardmen from New Orleans, left a controversial legacy as the dictator of the Beale Street gambling scene.
