Pond, setting the program for the first night in New York to be the standard: “There will not be a single change made in it for a month to come—it will always be our one-night & first-night program.” Changes were given for the matinée program [MTP].

The Boston Herald ran an article, “Mark Twain and the Police / The Humorist’s Experience in a Boston Station House.” Budd says “Not quite an interview but contains long statement from SLC about his treatment at police station after helping to prevent a suicide” [“Interviews” 3].
