1/6/1872, in NYC: RR magnate Edward Stokes kills his business and love
rival, Jim Fisk. Being able to afford dream team lawyers (& maybe the
judge) he got off with 4 years "easy" time. The public didn't like it.
I'll sing of a man who's now dead in his grave,
A good man as ever was born;
Jim Fiske he was called and his money he gave
To the outcast, the poor and forlorn.
"Jim Fisk," in Long Steel Rail p90, Norm Cohen, 1981
