Jack Slade was a successful freighter in Virginia City and an infamous drunk. In March of 1864 he had been on a bender for several days, riding his horse into businesses, shooting his pistol, scaring women & children. When he & friend Bill Fairweather stirred up one of the local brothels by breaking furniture & harassing the girls, that was the last straw for Madam Moll Featherlegs and she pressed charges. A few days later while on the same drinking binge Slade was arrested inside Rank’s Mercantile and hanged from the post out back by the Vigilantes. The arrest, trial & lynching took place in less than 1 hour.
