that Greasy shot the young teacher
when she refused to entertain his
suit longer: land by the defense in
support of its contention that Miss
Lavoy shot herself when Greasy sug-
sested postponement of their mar
riage.
Dear Billie-You said you did not
want me to write any more, so I am
just saying good night"

finished letter found on Miss Lavoy's
desk, in which she wrote that Billie

him"
Greasy Owned Revolver.
Early in June Greasy came from his
home IN Fort Thomas. Ky The pur-
pose of this visit. his counsel at

with Miss Lavoy and to return her
letters On June 20, the young school
teacher was shot in her home while

used was a revolver. which Greasy
admitted was his. but which he de-
clared had been in Miss Lavoy's pos
session for some time.
Greasy, in his defense. said that he
had dropped off to sleep on the couch
in Miss Lavoy's home, and that while
he slept the young woman took her
own life.
