Sam gets drunk

October 30, 2011 by fredgooltz

I’ll show you debauched! His correspondent rival – the SF reporter for the Gold Hill Daily News a guy named Albert Evans — they had been trading barbs in their respective papers like Sam had done with the Unreliable back in the day — wrote that Twain was arrested, spent the night in jail after being rounded up at the barbary Coast with jayhawkers – pro-slavery Missourians, guerrillas, modern free lances. Sam had gone to a woman’s place, lost $40 to her pimp and rounded up some thugs from the roughest part of town to go kill the pimp. By morning of the 19th Sam is in jail.
