some Alexandria preachers made

In explanation of the exchange OF

The word partner" he added, did not
mean Gonzales in particular, but, quot.
ing Lee, ANY leader of the so-called
Ganzalista movement, which leader
Leroy, seeking information for the as.
ISOLATION, was to find out when he ar.
rived at Laredo.
In, explanation of his anxiety to have
the Long Letter" returned to him,
Lee told reporter for the New York
American:
II had two reasons for wanting the
Long Letter" back. First, before
Leroy got to Laredo we found out that
neither Carmi Thompson, of Cleveland,
nor our Government had anything 10
do with the business, and the trip OF
Leroy was unnecessary. We thought
that in all probability the only docu
ment that might be construed to lend
dignity to Gonzales reported move
ment was furnished through the Long

ment would have done nothing to lend
It dignity. Second. didn't want any
