The two people who appear in the
aforementioned history desire to say
that these are the facts in their lives,
says Life. Every novelist who has
written about them has paisrepresent-
ed these facts, distorted the truth.
They are getting tired of it They
want to have every one know that
they are not the sort Of people that
(here fill In list Of popular novel
ists) have written about them. They
never did anything extraordinary.
They never expect to. An Injustice
has been done them. We therefore
take pleasure in letting the facts
about them be known
