A long, fragmented recount describes a poker game with a royal flush near Providence, where schemes, bets, and bravado mix with references to gamblers, suits, and the city’s night life.

A Providence Rhode Island article reviews drunkenness definitions and legal tests. It explains how intoxication is judged by outward signs and judge’s proof, contrasts legal versus moral drunkenness, and cites police, tavernkeepers, and historical opinions.
