and that her story of the crime was
true.
The woman asserted she related

having fired the shots which killed
the messengers and to fasten guilt
firmly upon another participant in
the hold-up.
Her story Of having letters bear
ing on the crime secreted in a New
York safe deposit vault was being
checked by Metropolitan police.
When asked if any of the money
obtained in the robbery was in the
vault, she tainted.
Asked why New York police did
not know Of her marriage to Dia-
mond, she said Diamond only al
lowed her to use his name when
they were together. She said she
used her maiden name, Louise
Cortez," the greater part Of her
married life. She came, originally
from Alabama, she said. Accord
ing to her story, she and Diamond
came to Buffalo for their honey.
