HOO Do You Feel
About Alabama Pitts?
70 the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
That the world has gone
cockeyed is proven by the
Alabama" Pitts case. Here is
a man that took a gun and
went out to rob. He was ready
to use the gun if he needed it.
That meant that he was willing
to kill the little Storekeeper
that he held up.
What happens to him for
this? He is made a hero.
All this talk about Pitts be-
ing a great athlete is the bunk.
He was all right on the prison
teams but that doesn't mean a
thing.
And those who have success
fully fought to get him on the
Albany baseball team know
darned well that they didn't
want him because of his ability
as q player. They wanted him
in order that they might ex-
plot him and the gullible pub
lie that will spend plenty of
money to see anyone who be-
comes notorious. DEBUNKER.
