BRIDGEPORT (REUTERS).- An employee of the historic home of Mark Twain, who once wrote “the lack of money is the root of all evil,” pleaded guilty on Friday to embezzling more than $1 million from the tourist attraction. Donna Gregor, 58, admitted in District Court that she fudged the books to steal from the financially troubled Mark Twain House and Museum in West Hartford, authorities said. A long-time employee of the famed American writer’s historic home, Gregor pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud and filing a false tax return, according to Thomas Carson, a spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department. Twain, born Samuel Clemens, had money troubles himself while living in the home from 1874 to 1891, during which time he wrote such American classics as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn”. Financial problems forced Twain to leave the Victorian Gothic home for Europe, according to the website According
