They have had these shares for years and have also received at various
times a Dollar or so Interest on said Stock. When this Expose came out
Bill and Mary were for resigning and sending in their Stock, so they
could show that they were not connected with the Corporation, but Jim,
the youngest, who has a touch of Republicanism in him, why, he said,
“No, let’s stick until they throw us out. Let them prove we took these
Stocks for some other reason than Charity!”
What makes it look bad is, that my Wife wrote a note and thanked him.
But the children did not sign the Note. So when he is called upon
to testify he will have her Note but it won’t have the Children’s
Signature on it. Of course he can say it was tore off, or that his Wife
has that part of it, or some other equally good reason. But I want the
Public to be lenient with both him and the Children, for as past events
have proven they haven’t done a thing for him to warrant them getting
those Stocks. So I honestly believe he meant no harm when he gave them.
As for Mr. Doheny giving me or mine anything, we live right near him
here in Beverly Hills. His son did promise me a key, so I wouldn’t have
to ride clear around his Estate when out horseback riding, but I never
got it yet.
