I have my beau- tiful boy that I have given life 10 twice. and he is my life. The thought of leaving him or having to i've and not have my name cleared IS more than can be expected. l am uh- able to think-and no advice except lawyers-I need my husband-am sorry I did not let him come. thought an explanation and stay here until the party is located that gave me the bonds. I did not know they thought I was guilty. The Blrmlng- ham Newsstand the lies Bodekers have told-have made it impossible for me to live. The young Bodeker has my diamond ring-value $350 he got it from me on the train please get it from him.
