Description
The following story is historical fiction based upon a report given by Wyatt Earp to a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner in 1896. No public records have been found to substantiate Wyatt's recollection, but many historians believe it to be true.
To quote Wyatt: "Doc Holliday and Ed Bailey were playing poker. Bailey kept monkeying with the deadwood (peeking at the discards). Doc warned him a few times to
'play poker' (the experienced gambler's method of cautioning a cheater). The next time Bailey looked at the deadwood, Doc raked in the pot without showing his hand, an acceptable and legal act allowed by the gambler's code of ethics."*
The bloody confrontation that followed Doc's warning is told in this story.
