You cheap crumbs have been making a fool of me long enough! I never said I loved Earl Williams and was willing to marry him on the gallows! You made that up! And all that other crap about my being his soul mate and having a love nest with him! I met Mr. Williams just once in my life, when he was wandering around in the rain without his hat and coat on like a sick dog. The day before the shooting. And I went up to him like any human being would and I asked what was the matter, and he told me about bein' fired after working at the same place twenty two years and I brought him up to my room because it was warm there. Just because you want to fill your lying papers with a lot of dirty scandal, you got to crucify him and make a bum out of me!
