I
 September 6, 1921. Dear MT. Schaeffer:-
 In order to gratify the curiosity of the so-called murder fans" and also 10 acquaint my friends with the real facts as to why I left my husband, Pedro Gussman, l would like you to publish this letter in full in con spicuous place in your paper.
 In the first place, therefore, l have left my husband because
 l. The Catholic faction in Bir- the True Americans, have bought him out: He has given his honor as man for money, and has betrayed me to my enemies.
 2. He is expecting to testify at my fathers trial on October 3, and as witness for the defense he Is going to swear that his marriage to ne was the result of carefully laid plan of mine and my fathers. in or der to give my father an excuse to kill Father Coyle. I have heard that rumor before, and it was my husband who started it, but l want to say here that it is not true, and is most emphatically the blackest falsehood ever uttered
 Hurt Reputation
 3 Also he is going to blacken my reputation in this trial as it has not been blackened heretofore, and he is going to tell many falsehoods about me, in order to lower me in the opin- ion of my friends.
 Now this is all the work of the anti-Catholic faction in Birmingham. Their object, from the very first, has been to separate me from my hus- band in such manner that l should be forced to return to my parents home. They threw my husband in jail on pretended charge, thinking l would return home, or that they ght carry me off to the asylum; then. failing in that, they began on B baser, lower, more crooked piece of business, that of tempting my hus- band with sums of money, and prompting him as to the things he
