with the Gaines murder suspect till
I read a nespaper description. Then
I hated to tell anyone for I hated to
get mixed up in a case like this.
’ Then thinking of the family and our
three kids I decided to do my plain
duty as a citizen. If Gaines is inno
cent he must have had a good rea
son for parking where I saw the
’ car. He can refute my testimony by
giving his reason but if he’s guilty
my testimony is important and should
convict him. A man who would mur
der a girl might repeat and it’s up
to fathers to make the city safe for
their daughters.”
