Notes:

This story is not complete in the New York Weekly. Below is the note on page 2 of NYW, Volume XXXVI, no. 13, explaining the reason:

"Bantam Jim: We have just learned that the author of 'Bantam Jim" has used the names of living persons in his story and endeavored to ridicule some of them by representing them as guilty of acts which could only have originated in his imagination. As we never permit the columns of the New York Weekly to be used as a vehicle for the dissemination of slander, no more of the story will be published."
First Sentence: It was a very nasty night. (New York Weekly edition)
