sic. as the two families had lived next
TO each other for years, and yet Rabold
refused 10 take GusSie home and would
not even show enough feeling toward tho

Gussie says she was too much ashamed
and frightened at night to send for her
people, but the next morning she asked
one OF the officers who was passing her
cell to notify her mother. She could

but to send her away.
