thief,” she alleges and “reflect
ing on her honesty,” in her
presence and behind her back,

without provocation.
“Simply a case of blackmail,”
was all they had to say.

nothing about the plaintiff, if
she lives in little Rock or not,
saying that they had not seen
her since her discharge.
When asked of the allegations
they refused to say anything,
declaring that they would have
to consult their lawyers.
