This last letter proves conclusively that
Willie Tisdell went to Rhodas house Au-
gust s, and began taking medicine few
days before for q purpose which Rhoda
knew TO be unlawful. 1t is now known
that Rhoda administered it. 1t is sus-
pected that Nixon furnished il as she was
clearly under his treatment. 1t is q sus-
picion amounting to conviction. Will the
Jury so see it?
The following letter proves what strik-
ingly beautiful woman Willie Tisdcll must
have been. 1t was written by u masher
who saw her once and who saw her but
once and was attracted by her beauty.
She treated it with the contempt which 1t
deserved.
